So... One of my friends said there's this awesome artist doing some thing where you give 100 points to them and they give you 500 points back. :/ I did it because they're a nice friend and I trust them. Judging by the ti
tle of this thread, I think you see where it's going. xD Anyway, I said they're a cool artist and whatever. Then later that night (tonight), I got their reply, which was thank you. I tried replying with no problem or you're welcome, and it said "There is one error with replying to this comment: -user has deactivated their account.". ...It took me about 15 seconds to realize what just happened. Then I had the sudden urge to do something mean to them, to get my revenge for something that horrible. But I can't because obviously I have no other way of contacting them, so as much as I hate to admit it, they won. Regardless of how many times they were reported or hated on. And you have no idea how much I had to work for those points. :I Anyway... I just wanted to share this story because it has honestly made me blow up. >:o I hate these people.

You can buy points with actual money at the deviantart store, which when you're logged in, there's a link to it next to the submit button. :3 And what they're for, you can buy/sell adoptables and commissions for points, trade 1 point for a llama (which is just a badge you can collect for fun), and it's basically the currency. I do point commissions and enter giveaways for points. ^w^

Well then that sucks :(  You can send points to each other?
Ha.  I guess I do have a DA account and have had one for over a year :P

Can you not report that user to the DA staff?

I have reported a user on DA to staff for stealing Rescreatu content and claiming it as their own and they acted very quickly in dealing with that user.

What a total patoot!  I've had several commissions for points never completed and the accounts deactivated after several months to weeks of waiting.  It can be super frustrating for sure.  >:  I think it's good you couldn't do anything horrible back, since I'm a believer in karma.  They'll get caught up in it someday and finally get theirs, I'm sure.  I'm very sorry for what happened to you though.
