Well, I don't think our system really bothers to warn spammers before deleting them. It was kind of a perfect storm of your posts looking exactly like spam. I apologize for the case of mistaken identity, and I'll try to watch out for that sort of thing more, but I have to recommend adding more context to your posts; If you post nothing but a link to a malformed script with no context whatsoever, it's going to get you into trouble.
Ok. The logs indicate mastersam was flagged as a spam user, then posted content flagged as spam, and was removed.
The post titled "Diablo Javascript". The body of the post was nothing but a link to a site that was warning of running a "malicious or deceptive script".
Ok. I'm not sure I can tell what happened based on that description. Judging by your username, I'm guessing you are previously the user "mastersam", correct?
Although I disagreed with gameArt's reaction, he is free to make the requests here and artists are free to choose to help him. All people should still feel welcome here even if rudeness is not.
My response above was intended to provide guidance for a more effective art resource request, though my delivery was unnecessarily terse and overly critical. For that I apologize.
I think this request suffers from the typical lack of detail that is common to many art requests. It may seem like you're being obvious in what you want, but you're leaving out details.
If you have a larger tileset you want reworked, why haven't you already shared it here? You've referred to other tiles and an .exe then asked if I can assess them and rework them, but I have no way of giving an answer having never seen them. It's a bit like going to an auto mechanic and saying "Something is wrong with my car. Can you fix the problem? I brought one of the car's parts for you to look at. The problem is not just with this part, though. I won't let you see the rest of my car until I know you can fix the problem." If no one knows the full details of the request, no one is ever going to be able to provide what you're looking for.
Even after my earlier question, the scope of work is still not clear. I post an example of art in the same perspective (orthogonal oblique) but "more eye pleasing" yet now you say the "style of graphics are completely different". That's fine, but we're ten replies in now and it seems still no closer to understanding what you're really after.
When you said to JenJen "You are not qualified. This is not what I am looking for." I could understand how she might feel that was an entitled attitude, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and assumed your seemingly-rude phrasing was just a side-effect of a cultural or linguistic difference. However, after you doubled-down on the deprecating talk, I'm pretty sure I understand why your previous artist is no longer working with you.
The pay model you've outlined is not unreasonable, but if you expect people to continually guess at what you're after without ever actually being specific enough to satisfy your own standards, you definitely can't afford to be rude to artists just for expressing an interest in helping you out.

What is your budget? How much are you paying and for how much work? Does that screenshot above contain the entirety of the tileset that needs reworking or are there other tiles not shown?
Done.
Done.
