Banned artist list

I was thinking that we need something to cover the list of artists that have been banned from danbooru by request of the artist.

The suggestion I got from jxh was make a about:banned_artists wiki page. If someone would like to tackle that, that would be great.

Also which artists have been banned already? I'm currently only aware of Mountain Pukuichi, Midori Fuu, linda, and reiq.

That about covers the ones I can think of off the top of my head, but I swear there were a couple more... hm.

I added a list to howto:upload yesterday. I'm not sure if that's the best place to put it, but it's where the other uploading rules are.

I just did a forum search and found that japonica (forum #9099) and cyberunique (forum #9569) are also banned.

Heh, I just looked at all 83 pages of forum threads for threads started by Albert, and was going to mention cyberunique.

Didn't see anything else though.

If we don't have a compiled list of banned artists, I'm guessing we don't have some sort of mechanism in place to automatically prevent users from uploading images from banned URLs for said artists.

Not at the moment, no. Though if something were in place people could get around it by upping from their HDDs instead, and possibly not tagging the artist which would make it very hard to keep track of whether these are being uploaded.

No, it wouldn't affect people uploading from HDD, but it would help the portion who are uploading from the original URL and don't know that the artist is banned. It would be pretty annoying to rack up deleted posts because of an artist ban hidden away in the forums, so I'm all for anything that would guard against this. And the error message that results can link to the banned list.

It seems like a simple enough check to add, if we're putting together a list anyway.

As a side note, for the convenience of people who use the upload tool, what if we created an artist entry called "do_not_upload" and attached the artists' links to it? That way it would come up automatically in the tool as a warning flag.
