It has been brought to our attention that Starfinder/Kannos is attempting to petition themselves back onto Furaffinity. For those new or who don't remember, feel free to browse her tag for more information on her history. She was banned from Furaffinity for not finishing commissions for years and refusing to comply with admin requests.
This is a post to touch base with past commissioners and check to see if her statements that she owes no further work and is in the clear are true. This is not a post to attack her, be it here or on her inkbunny, and we will be taking action against people from here that we find commenting on her page after this post goes up.
So again, anyone who has commissioned Starfinder/Kannos, please let us know if she still owes you work. We will be taking the information we gain from this post to Furaffinity for them to review, good or bad. Links to past AB posts you have made or proof that she does indeed owe you would be more helpful than vague comments, thank you!

But amongst the circlejerk, someone called her out on a debt approaching a decade, and instead of publicaly going 'can we discuss this privately, I'd like to sort this out with you', she flips, deletes the comment and officially states the post is essentially buttpats only, from IB-only customers.
When she wants back on FA.
When people are WATCHING her for this very sort of behavior, which she has done many times in the past. On FA.
By that action alone, even if Utunu gets a half-response from Starfinder... damage is done in the eyes of many now. And giving her a chance is about as good of an idea as jumping in a pool with a plugged in desk lamp.
Moreover, on Inkbunny, users regularly delete comments that they consider off-topic in their user space, including journals. The page is now marked as covering only a particular time period, and it apparently always stated that it was restricted to those users who had received work from her on Inkbunny during the last two years, in which case utunu was aware that their comment did not fit the topic of the journal when they made it.
The post here also says that "This is not a post to attack her, be it here or on her inkbunny, and we will be taking action against people from here that we find commenting on her page after this post goes up." The comment was made a day after this post went up.
I honestly find it disturbing that as a staff member of IB, you're retaliating in Starfinder's stead to try to get a customer who has been waiting for 8 years punished while turning a blind eye to her own behaviour. You make it sound like people have no reason to think poorly of her or her behaviour.
No matter what, she apparently owes several people work from many years ago. This is not acceptable, and I don't understand why you seem to think it is.
She changed the rules.
This whole journal exercise of hers was, again, to prove to FA that she is a capable commission artist.
Utunu's comment that they were owed KILLED that. Thus you and her both seeing it as hunky dory to 86 the comment. For you, you see it as her prerogative to do so. For her, its throwing a Persian rug on top of a pile of junk in order to cover up.
This is what has the majority of us (especially the mods of this very comm) who have seen Starfinder pull these sorts of wool-over-the-eyes stunts time and time again are side-eyeing her hard and throwing up our hands.
If the comment was OT, sure, whatever. BUT WHAT BETTER WAY TO LOOK GOOD than to take an OT post and turn it into an post that ends up ON TOPIC with Utunu going 'Thank you for in the end coming through on the commission'.
But obviously you prefer the narrower scope.
- Kannos posts a journal looking to prove that she has cleared her backlog to get back on FA (I didn't cap the original journal, so if someone has that that'd be great.)
- Receives many comments from satisfied customers on IB. None of which prove she has cleared her backlog from FA.
- Receives ONE comment from someone regarding an outstanding commission proving that she has NOT cleared her backlog.
- She deletes the comment (many people have capped it.)
- She edits the journal to say that no, she just wants people to prove that she is NOW making good on her promises. Anything before her move to IB doesn't count.
So. Why shouldn't we make a decision based on this behavior?
Because if so, I think we may have an argument brewing.
Don't you think the deletion of a negative review from an honest customer who paid close to $1000 is a little fishy?
Icon for my face right now. This is not a mod post.
I think that a person coming to claim a debt from eight years ago is offtopic if the topic is commissions within the past two years. That user is entitled to contact us about it, and we would deal with the situation as we saw fit. To be frank, their conduct on Inkbunny would weigh more heavily than a report of a debt incurred half a decade before Inkbunny existed, which the user had not attempted to collect for years. Our goal with is to protect Inkbunny's users, not to punish people for actions taken in their distant past.
I'm also the founder of WikiFur and one of those who opposed her request for exclusion there, which I believe to be a more suitable place to document such issues.
Oh, perhaps she deleted his inquiries prior, because they were "off topic".
given her history, it's doubtful that this is anything other than a ploy to hide negative responses/avoid dealing with her past. it has nothing to do with things being "off topic."
Those two years are two years that he was still waiting with that commission outstanding, from day one he was owed, so commissions from the past two years include everyone she's still ignoring too. The projects don't simply cease to exist because she's ignoring them.
