I've skipped those in the past because they're no longer on pixiv and I have no way of verifying they're actually the stated artists. Banned the former since the style is fairly distinctive and the gimmick was used on other posts, though.
I would say the latter is the same as well. His art isn't stellar, and everything was already deleted.
post #341662 was deleted because of a copyright notice from the author, along with his other works which all predate the system of having the status:banned flag
I don't know if going back and banning them will matter, since they were deleted and unlikely to ever be approved, but I do think that the latter counts since everything else in that author's name was deleted by request.
Most of Yazuo(artist #90823)'s images can be found on Yazuwo(artist #106662 [banned])'s pixiv or his website. Is there any evidence that Yazuwo regards his old deleted account as an exception to his deletion request? I think both artist tags should be renamed to yazuo_(yazuororo) or something. (His current name is Yazuo.)
Ah, i see the problem. The tamazusa tag which should be for a banned artist is a character tag, and the post got tagged with that. I've fixed it since.
Curious - is jess (jelee) a banned artist? Noticed a couple days ago that all their art was deleted, and today a couple new pieces from them were added. Since at least one of the deleted posts has "This post was removed because it was requested by the artist" at the top, I'm guessing the artist doesn't want their pieces on the site.
