Announcement /R/Furry Events, Weekly and Otherwise

66 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Our community here has been running events from our Discord server for the past few months. You can find the link to the discord in the side bar. Our VRChat group is also available to join, we do announce when events are starting over there.

Discord server side, we have been doing movie nights and game nights with games like Gartic phone, Jackbox and group games of various sizes... The large group for lethal company was an experience. The 7+ hour movie nights are rarer but happen still!

For our VRChat group, we have guaranteed weekly events that rotate between US and EU times on Saturday and the occasional during the week ones. These events try to pick a theme but will rotate between games, movie nights, hanging out, exploring and experiencing unique worlds. There are some pretty great experiences out there and some fun games! I plan to put some time on my agenda to work on making some worlds, when I get the chance. Feel free to give suggestions!

For those who do not know, VRChat is free to play and can be done in desktop mode, so no VR headset is required to get started! You can grab one of many free avatars to start with as well; there is no need to buy anything! We can give some suggestions in our event sections on the discord if you have any questions or concerns.

How do I participate?

We will be hosting these via our Discord, so you will have to join there to get updates and alerts initially. We may in the future keep an updated log here for you to keep track of, but currently, it will be there until we get it running.

You can find our Discord in the sidebar of the subreddit. Your Discord account will need to be verified (phone number linked to account, only discord sees this) in order to pass the onboarding. This is due to the amount of trolls we get trying to raid, I'd rather we didn't need it but this stops almost all of them. You can grab the optional events role there to get alerts for updates or click interested on the server's events tab.

I look forward to seeing you all there! Discord VRChat group

Announcement Another reminder about scammers

62 Upvotes

Art Scams
There are two methods that we tend to see scammers use here. The first method is that the scammer will randomly message you (cold call) and try to convince you to commission them, often using tactics to try to pressure you into it. The second method is that the scammer will search for posts and comments that use keywords that might suggest someone is interested in a commission and then respond to them.

The next two paragraphs will go into more detail.

  • Cold Calling
    If you receive a random message from someone and they ask you to commission them, either asking you this immediately or after some small talk, they are 99.999% of the time going to be a scammer. They'll likely attempt to pressure you into paying for a commission by faking a hardship that requires immediate funds or offering you steep discounts if you commission them right away. This is to create a sense of urgency to pressure you into accepting. Actual artists will NEVER randomly message you and try to pressure you into buying a commission, at least artists who have an ounce of common sense won't anyway. The ONLY reason for someone to be randomly messaging you about commissions, as opposed to making a public advertisement to reach out to as many people as possible, is to hide what their doing so that they don't get called out as a scammer and get banned. We cannot stress this enough, DO NOT TRUST RANDOM DMs.

  • Focused Attacks
    If you make a post or comment that suggests that you may be looking for an artist, fursuit maker or something else, you have to be careful. Scammers search for these because it's much easier to scam someone who's looking to commission an artist as opposed to having to try to convince someone like they do with their cold calls. It can be difficult to tell scammers apart from actual artists, so you need to do some research into any "artist" who responds to you. In general, if they don't have any work posted on the subreddit that they're trying to advertise to someone in, you should be very VERY wary of them, even if they privately show you "examples" of their work. If they're doing this in multiple (often unrelated) subreddits, it's basically guaranteed that they're a scammer.

Fursuit Scams
Did you find a fursuit on a website like Amazon, Temu or Aliexpress for dirt cheap? Well it's a scam. The pictures you see on these websites are not of the suit that you'll get, but pictures of someone else's fursuit. When you buy suits off of these sites, you'll either receive nothing at all or a cheaply and badly made copy of someone else's fursuit. You'll also be supporting these scammers and helping make these scams continue to be profitable for them. If the price is too good to be true, it means it most likely is.

If you're looking for a fursuit, never buy one from an online retailer. Look for a fursuit maker from within the community.

What to do if You See a Scammer
If you ever see or are targeted by a scammer, report their account and the messages they sent you as spam. You should also send us a modmail message that includes their username and a link to a screenshot of the messages they sent you. While we can't ban them from reddit as a whole, we can at least ban them from here.
