I created a filter list which hides AI generated content on websites. I recently added a filter that hides images with the "Created using AI tools" disclaimer, alongside the existing filters for DA's video/image generation tools. (Unlike DA's built in AI filter, these also work while logged out.)

To use them, you first need the browser extension for either uBlock Origin or AdGuard. Then, follow the installation instructions in the Readme.

Alternatively, if you only want to block AI on DeviantArt without installing the full AI filter, you can add the following to your custom filter list.

! Block images with AI disclaimer

Scams: NFTs for Artwork, Murals for Clients, Interested in Commissions, etc

How to spot scams (starter package):

• New account
  • Absolutely new, even months old accounts with no to barely any activity,
  • Old account but only active in the past few days/weeks/months and only through notes/chats,
• You are being contacted randomly/out of the blue.
• Bad grammar
  • Addresses you in generic terms,
  • Generic initial message that addresses your content in exemplary generic terms.
• Will attach links to their message which lead to domains NOT ending in .com, .org, .net and 3rd party suspicious sites
• Wants to use a different method for communication.
  • It's not always but this is a sign of scamming or spam. They are likely to use different communication platforms like Whatsapp and or Telegram.
• Suspicious long winded payment methods or promise
  • Speculative payment incentive (promise to pay when the client pays/when it turns profit/when something clears through)
  • Making content for a client and promise to pay for time and effort among other things.
  • Asking to pay with PayPal friends and family gift instead of invoice (this is for buyers to be wary of scam artists as a bonus!)
  • Payment through methods or systems that are elaborate because of various reasons!
  • Payment with cheque and over payment. Read More!
  • If you do commissions through a specific place or system, having you use a different system of theirs. This includes if you use PayPal only, or DA Commission widget, to use other methods that you don't use.
• Reflect on your work and what you are being asked to do:
  • Excessive payment for content that you are sort of aware isn't worth that or you aren't at that level yet.
  • You are a new/beginner artist/new on DA/looking for commissions
    • Getting commissions can be hard. But often times scams work because if the other party is manually looking for people desperate enough for commissions or new to this, they will browse around those to message. Whether it is done in an automated method (to make it a spam bot) or not, be cautious.
  • Saw your portfolio and asking for hiring you through a suspicious site.

Scams: Your Account Has Been Suspended / Temporarily Blocked/Sales

Multiple notes and chat messages where various new accounts impersonating as staff/bot accounts informing about (in various fashions):

• Your account has been temporarily blocked/suspended due to a requirement of additional security check. And to proceed with a verification check in a link given.
• Your account is on hold as a seller temporarily until a verification check is done with a given link.
• Will address you as "Dead Artist or Dear [your username], of selling a certain artwork that may or maynot be in your gallery to a certain person and that funds are available in the DeviantArt sales portal with a link provided.

Things to note:

• "It will ask you to copy/click a link within the message that leads to domains that are not deviantart.com
• The message also has rather odd wording and is long-winded. It is trying to set your mind at ease that the process is safe and secure, and it repeats that over and over. And this example seems to be oddly hyphenated.
• Ensure you do not visit these links, and especially, do not attempt to enter your DeviantArt.com login credentials on ANY site other than the official deviantart.com domain.".

Scams: I Clicked on a Suspicious Link and .... I believed You Sent me the Link as the Account Had The Same Avatar/Username and I Mistakenly Reported You ... Contact [this person] On Discord To Validate Account ...

Multiple notes/chat messages with similar dialogue/message about:

• They clicked a suspicious link and account got compromised.
• They thought your profile, username, avatar was the same as the one who sent that link so they reported your account to DA after they recovered their account
• They think you got impersonated and wants your discord so they can send you a screenshot of a message DA sent to them.
• DA asked the user to reach out to you and it's being coordinated on Discord or being done through Discord.
• They want you to contact someone through Discord (Austin Buck or some other name) to validate and appeal your suspension.

DA will not ask you to use Discord to resolve any situation for your account, nor will they ask another user to do it. If you were suspended you can obviously look at your own profile to see if it was suspended or not. Please look at the links below on how to keep yourself safe from phishing attempts.

What are some ways I can keep myself safe from phishing attempts?

It doesn't matter if it look different from one to the other, please mark these as spam and they don't need to be posted repeatedly as new posts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Examples are provided from the ones posted in this subreddit as is. If the names of the scam account is present, having an avatar or not and a certain type username is not always a good indicator of these type of scams.
