Over the last couple of months or so I've been noticing there are some "beggars" who join the forum to get what they want, without even taking the time to contribute to the community or realize that it's just not possible. One in particular has been nagging me about repaints because he knows I can do them, and tries to use me to get what he wants, and it's really getting on my nerves!
Not just one person, but a couple others.

Report them using the forum tools if they persist beyond you politely asking them to stop.

I've been having the same problem myself with some of my models, when I get some time I'll do some modeling, don't have the time at the moment.
I'm expecting work might slow down some come winter, maybe.

Exactly, and when someone asks 'Have you tried doing it yourself?' they always say 'Yes, but I'm not good'. Does it look like we're perfect at the start? No!

Beggars can't be choosers or beggars, in this case.

From what I've observed, people like that come strong and leave quickly. If they really bother you report them.

See, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to report a person who is on the forum, but annoys the sh*t out of me via steam.

You could block him on steam, if someone makes you upset, block them.
