If you happen to get this note (or have gotten it sweatdrop ), please disregard that note and ignore it/delete it posthaste. There is no telling if this is legit or not, so save yourself some trouble and don't bother.

And just look at her profile comments. That alone should tip you off. domokun

Thank you for your time. ^_^

EDIT: Thanks to the lovely dA staff, another spammer has eaten teh dust. biggrin Said spammer no longer poses a threat. Though I'll still leave the poll up for other purposes. xd

:3 A few users covered it in news articles--this one, for instance.

Thanks. :]

yeah it happened to me... but the first thing that came to mind was "I'm not that good... spammer much" but thanks for the warning^^  

[imtoogoodforthis]

thanks for the warning!

I got a note from them!
D<
I can't believe someone who actually have the GUTS to be a spammer on DA.
It's one of the only sites that don't get any of those.
(Unlike Youtube *ahem*)
I hope they totally ban them.It's an Artist website, not a stupid blogging chatroom.

I got one of those just now!

[CHicKeNy Corpse]

yes, i got it.
the first thing i thought though was,
"wait- i dont post any poetry."
i just deleted it.

 

[insanesandwich]

I've gotten a few like it, it's not that fun. sad But yeah, people shouldn't believe them.  

[BlueGam]

I think dA is banning all of the people who do that now. They had an article on it a few weeks ago.  

[Zombie Knickers]

I got one off her. D< I was like "Poetry? What poetry?!" But I've just realised I do have one piece of poetry. My bad.  

[chronos phantom]

lol. She or he is banned now.

She/he must have been really bad. neutral  

[MissJennaGan]

I actually fell for it before I read that...

I felt kinda dumb afterward.

But at least now I am informed with expirence whee  

[Adinyne]

I got the same thing...it was creepy!! eek But I had no idea anybody else had gotten it!
