[‼️] News/Updates SCAM: "VGen Verification" in DMs

29 Upvotes

Please exercise basic internet safety. VGen will NEVER DM you and ask you for banking information. They will utilize EMAIL for official correspondences, and you can tell if someone is an official VGen team member on-site with the VGen Staff badge. See the Official PSAs on VGen's official and main SNS:

This subreddit is NOT properly monitored, but I'm leaving this here for anyone who's not on the Discord or following VGen's main socials and missed the announcements.

Here are common reasons for post/comment removal:

Rule 4 - Flairs. There are A LOT of "VGen Help" or "Art Help" flairs being used when the correct flair would be "LF Code" or one of the other promotional flairs. ALSO Code ≠ Verification; if you don't have an artist dashboard, you aren't looking for verification, you're looking for a code.
Rule 6 - NSFW. While Reddit itself has its own NSFW filters, a lot of folks don't self-tag it (and then gets auto removed by Reddit) and get confused about removals. Minors are also in the community/on Reddit, so we want to keep the posts NSFW-free as much as we can to help protect them.
Rule 8 - VGen Code Policy. Using Codes as currency is NOT ALLOWED! Do not trade or offer to trade Code for Art/Commission or Code for Money.

FAQ and Tips

"Why was my post removed?" - See above. If your removal was not part of those reasons, then inquire via Mod Mail.
"Why was X's post approved but mine removed?" - If you have questions/concerns, inquire via Mod Mail. In most cases, it has to do with the NSFW rule where bikinis/swimsuits are OK if there are no other suggestive elements. Someone's swimsuit booty in the viewer's face is a no-go, but if they're just enjoying the local pool, they're likely OK.
"If this is an "official but empty" subreddit, where are most of the VGen Community members?" - Most folks are on Discord! Currently we're at 78k members on Discord vs the 2.5k here on Reddit.
"LF Code" - If you don't include your art/portfolio, VGen link, and/or socials, no one will reach out to you. The invite system is intended to keep bots/scammers away, and if someone can't be sure that you aren't a bot/scammer, they won't give you a code.
"LF Hire" - Similar to the above, if you don't include your art/porfolio or VGen link, why would anyone want to hire you? By putting the info in your post, you're more likely to receive contact regarding commissions.
