Nuke an Artist tag?

Posted under General

Soo recently Oromizu has had some of his work uploaded to the site, and on most of his illustrations, users of Danbooru have found evidence to support that all this guy does is take illustrations from other artists and photoshop over them to resemble Touhou characters (very poorly to say the least).

So clearly it's plagiarism.

Do we allow that on Danbooru? Or do the photoshops still meet quality standards for this site?

I'm not sure how to link to him better: http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=yuudai_%28oromizu%29

No and no. Dear God these are awful. Just flag the whole lot and make a note in his artist entry about his plagiarism.

Can't we put artist on Banned list?

That's for when the artist themselves requests their work be removed from Danbooru, which has not happened in this case.

When the art just doesn't meet Danbooru's standards the images are flagged/deleted, which has already been done here so nothing else is necessary.

That would be a lot of work for a minor issue.

Since people are aware of this author's plagiarism, and considering how obvious his alterations are, all that would need to happen in the future is either letting it die in approval or flagging it again.
