I only noticed now that apparently, I have been de-scouted ðŸ˜. You know, I would have liked if I got a warning about it at least, not finding out when I'm going to post more art. What's worse I have no idea why, if it was a wrong label (but I assume if it was I would get a label of one of my drawings changed), if it's my old art not up to newgrounds standards, or because I posted some sketchy art. I have seen people post just sketch art on art portal and be fine with good ratings, while I made them art dumps with just decent art+sketchs since I thought that was better. Maybe it was my lasted art dump where I put a edited meme version of one of the drawing in as the "thumbnail", so I changed it now but idk, I kinda expect the moderators to check the actual art not just thumbnails lmao.
That just leaves me with the fact that maybe was my art quality, and that makes me sad, nothing happened to me when I started posting the worse offenders of my inicial art journey, but now that I hit the final phase of my art journey on ibis paint, when it all starts to get better, it's when I'm de-scouted. I lose any will to post here like that, feels like I'm posting on twitter all over again, but instead of filtering what words to say I have to filter what art I should post and considered "good enough", It's like walking on eggshells. This post probably will fall into the void but it's my vent how I feel about here and I'm losing my patient with this place. I will continue posting for a bit more to see what happens.

While you were scouted, did you scout someone that may have uploaded art that was not on par with the Art Portal's quality? And if so, both parties do get punished. That's the scenario I'm seeing. Quality could also play a factor, but I'm not sure.
I have seen artists that have had an 'old' quality of their art compared to now, and they haven't been 'de-scouted' for it.

As far as I remember I never scouted no one :((
