question for admins/mods is there a way to mass ban an artist tag?

i manage another booru and was just wondering if there's a way to mass ban an artist tag vs individually marking a post as banned? our kernel is on he latest btw

thank you for your time.

I know we have banned artists implicate banned artist, which results in posts getting the banned status automatically. Not sure how that works though.

banned artist only bans the post only if the tag is present on post creation, or on the artist initial ban itself.

You can do a BUR like mass update artist_name -> status:banned I guess.
Or, if you have the access to the rails shell, do BulkUpdateRequestProcessor.mass_update(artist_name, "status:banned", user: banner) there.
Or just script it through the API in the end.
