Are hentaikey pics banned?

Is all art from the site hentaikey banned? I found a version of a deleted picture without the watermark, but then I saw that all the other pics marked hentaikey were deleted so I assumed they are the equivalent of a banned artist.

They're not banned as far as I know. If they were, you wouldn't be able to see them in the first place. Mind linking images with the hentaikey watermark?

They were mostly expunged because of the watermark not the art.

The reason I was wondering is because I found another version of a picture that was deleted, but this time without the watermark and wanted to know if I should bother uploading it or not.

The deleted picture I'm talking about is at: post #327187 and there is another version without the watermark at: http://images.luscious.net/86/tenchi_muyo___218_73913602.jpg

If you want to upload the image, then go ahead. Just know that the reason stuff from hentaikey was deleted is because of their obtrusive watermarks.
