Why I stopped taking Cutie Mark Requests (And Artwork Requests in general): 

People just don't listen, or act completely ungrateful when I actually do things for them.

Granted most of the people who I did the re-designs for were very happy with the work and grateful for it. But this always happens every time I open a request board. People start to ask for things without reading the requirements, such as telling me EXACTLY what they want...

When people don't read the requirements I post, (e.g. having a reference image, or a pre-existing image of some kind to work with) I lose all my motivation, because people want me to do something for them which makes the job harder for me. There is always a reason why I ask for those things, it makes my job easier, and stops me from struggling too much with colours or shapes they want.

I might re-open requests in the future, but until people can actually learn to read properly (and not blame me when they don't...) I just can't deal with making them. I'm sorry.
