Banned artists

I didn't make this post to stir up drama but after reading @.grey post its been bugging me on how gold and above can see these post and how it effectively makes the ban useless. We need to update the site so posts from banned artist shouldn't be seen by anyone that isn't a janitor or moderator. I also understand people usually come here first to see new works from the artist so maybe we can make the thumbnail into a grey download and when you click it just offers a link to the artist page instead of the image.

I'm locking this thread, not because this isn't a subject that we shouldn't be discussing, but because this is a topic already covered in the previous thread. While a decision to change how Paid Rewards was the only result, that itself was already a major change for the site. Furthermore discussion in that thread didn't end until it was locked because the discussion in that thread had devolved from being constructive, and it seems right now a lot of users are exhausted with the subject matter at the moment. Given all this, having this discussion at this time would be inappropriate as it will only end up becoming unconstructive arguing instead of calm discussion.

You're welcome to revisit this topic again at a later time, but right now is too soon since the previous discussion involving this subject.
