I hate to say it, but DA has really gone downhill in the last few years. It's taken me a long time to get to the point where I 'm ready to complain in public, but I've finally decided to speak my mind these persistent annoyances. These are the major problems I've noticed:
Something is seriously wrong with the internal search engine. The results it gives me are so random and disconnected from what I'm looking for that they're useless.
Every time I log on, I have a note waiting for me from a total stranger. The messages come from different accounts (most of which are from new users who haven't posted anything), but they all fall under two categories: a bland, generic greeting like "Hi! How are you today?" or a request along the lines of "Can I use your artwork in a mural? You'll be paid." When you keep getting near-identical messages like these for over a period of months, you realize it must be some kind of scam, but I don't know how it works. Is this all a scheme to trick people
