Okay, so, this might be a long one, but I no longer support or use paheal.
The userbase is heavily toxic and I had to go to an artist that drew something for me to get a takedown request sent in.
A picture of mine was posted there and the comments were extremely toxic, about how OCs are filth and the people who make them are "deluded".
Here is their response to the artist I spoke of.
Their response: "No need to bother with proof. I'm happy to have an excuse to delete pics with fan characters. They are universally hated and I get tired of all the complaints. I wish to hell commissioners wouldn't delude themselves into thinking other people care about their silly character."
These are the people running the site, telling artists they wish people wouldn't make OCs.
Now, let me set one thing straight, I don't give a shit if someone likes my OC. I don't care if they care about the character.
I make OCs because I want to, because it makes ME happy. So, haters, take it somewhere else, I will get takedown notice after takedown notice filed until you wise up and stop posting my things on this site.

This brings up another point. Reposting artwork I commission without crediting myself and the original artist.
STOP DOING THAT.
If you submit it to an image board, E621 for example, properly tag the characters, [Yes, I don't care for the "fan character" tag on E621, put the names in please], credit the artist, credit the character owner and for the love of all that is good and holy, source it back to the original image. So the artist can get more traffic.
My commissioned artwork is NO LONGER ALLOWED ON rule34.paheal.net
On another note, editing one of the pieces I've commissioned without the express consent of both myself and the artist is also not okay.
Due to a comment on a recent picture that someone should "edit that filth into Big Macintosh" I am cracking down on edits of commissions I've paid for.
You need my permission, as well as the original artist's, to edit anything on such an image.
That's all, back to your regularly scheduled lives.
