USER1: "fun fact: if you want to make an "ABOUT ME" page, i would use stash writer. it allows you to click on it and have a nice and clean about me thats easier to read, because journal about me's can disappear easily
here is the codes from this video

you can paste it in your description on your DeviantID to make it easier for people to click on. i hope this helped a bit"
MARTEN: "Thx. Most won't read it either way. I receive asks for RP, requests, and for social media rather frequently."
I'll pass. Besides, what about sites that AREN'T DeviantArt? Even then, I want my pages as minimalist as possible so they can load quickly. The more HTML/fancy coding, stamps/buttons, etc., one uses, the longer it takes (and the more cluttered it all looks). :3
=================
REQUESTS, COMMISSIONS, ETC...
PROFILE (at the time): "'Will you exchange art with me (or sell, or gift)?'
First, I'll not accept money for art unless I've decided to auction something (which is effectively never).
Commissions don't appeal to me: my art isn't worth it and I don't want the pressure.
As for trades, I'm ambivalent about them, meaning I have to feel like doing one.
Gifts usually come in the form of a scribble in one of my sketch dumps---something I make when I just want to play around and have no real ideas"
In fairness to the user below, I didn't mention requests specifically... but this is what happened when someone asked (and, no, they didn't get a drawing),
USER2: "do you do requests?"
MARTEN: "Depends on many, many contingencies. In other words: *yes, but probably no"
*I was trying to be 'cute'. I regret this; I was at fault here (I acknowledge that myself; spare me your chidings).
Anyway, changing my profile answer to an outright 'No'---I do NOT do requests.
"But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one" -Matt 5:37
===============
ROLEPLAY...
PROFILE (at the time): "'Do you role play?'
Nope. I ain't good at it and RP often becomes sexual"
USER3: "hows it going can i ask you a quick question?"
MARTEN: "You just asked two, so I'd say you're capable"
USER3: "do you role play sometimes just asking"
MARTEN: "Please see my journal-profile thing"
USER3: "i dont ever do sexual role plays also i dont really consider a lack of skill an excuse you can get better with practice besides I'm easy to role play with anyway you seem like a nice guy so i wont just assume your one of those people who thinks they are superior to others just because they dont role play i've met people like that before"
I cannot say you weren't warned. :3
And, no, I don't thinnk I'm better than anyone ...I'm just not interested in RP.
I've been there: it's not fun and can go on for hours. Moreover, most who HAVE gotten me to RP complained using notes/message boards were too slow...
Which inevitably leads to asking me for my Discord, etc...
===============
REAL-TIME CHAT/DISCORD; SKYPE ETC....
USER4: "Hey could you give me your discord name and number so I can talk to you on there?"
MARTEN: "I deleted (the download/program) from my computer; I thought we were done"
USER4: "Are you serious"
Yup! ...I don't want to be too 'accessible'; I don't want others (esp. young people) to be able to drag me into private conversation whenever they want.
I had Trillian (AIM; MSM; YIM) many many years ago... I've left it all in the past and desire to keep it there.
I created a Discord for that ONE conversation with someone important to me. When the chat was over, I deleted the program forever. :3
Anyway, let's see how effective art is at deterring these questions---Heaven knows profiles/text Q&As don't do it!
