I really hate to do this, I want to be positive and happy and whatnot, but sometimes things just get to me.

Case in point, see this:
Commission Prices by Escafa

Those are my commission prices. That's how much it costs for me to draw your idea. Money, not points. 

I will NEVER draw your idea for free and I have PLENTY of my own ideas, I don't need yours. 

Now this isn't aimed at everyone, if you want to shoot ideas at me via comments or notes that's fine, they will probably be ignored, but I don't mind. 

No what I'm angry about, what I am fucking pissed about is people who send ideas with "Commission" in the title and then afterwards just tell me that they don't have the money and just want to see their idea made. 

Putting "commission" in the title implies you are wiling to pay me. To send messages like that with no intention of doing so wastes my goddamn time and gets my hopes up. 

This didn't used to be a problem , but it happened a few times this week and I'm just sick of it.

This of course don't apply to those commissions I priced out that ended up being to expensive, that's understandable.  

Only those who used it as a way to lure me into reading their idea in the hopes I would do it for free.

$14 minimum, you don't have that, don't waste my time. 

I've been cordial in the past, but if it happens again I'm not going to be so nice.

Thanks everyone, like I said I hate doing things like this, but after this week it had to be done.

Have you ever heard of clientsfromhell.net? It's a website dedicated to stories about similar situations to what you talk about here. Based on the information, I think you might get a kick out of some of the stories there.

That being said, I'm sorry you have to deal with things like that. Hope it doesn't happen too often.
