Said artist is also primarily a commissioner, if I'm looking into this correctly. However, simply wiping the slate doesn't sit right with me.

Hello, I am the artist Narustuart. I usually go by Naru though. I was not aware my art let alone very old art was uploaded on this site until today. An ex-friend of mine under the username of Erogedragoone or Assi uploaded the art on my behalf and without my permission years ago. He even used my username at the time. He confessed all of this to me today when I found out I was being associated with his past uploads on his deactivated account. Frankly while I don’t like how that art turned out and deleted it from my Twitter long ago; I don’t mind my art being on here, but I don’t want to be associated with any specific user’s uploads. I love looking at art on this site. It’s great for searching for refs but I’m a viewer at best and only made a proper account to address this issue. I don’t want to be held accountable for some other person’s actions. I was told that this matter would be handled, but I guess I placed my faith in the wrong person that already broke my trust.

You mean these posts?

Only the first post I linked was uploaded by the user you mentioned. His name is no longer visible because he deleted this account, so it just says "user 616194". Does this solve your issue? Otherwise, we can't unlink an uploader's username to a post.

Edit: If you mean the Danbooru profile linked in your artist tag, that has been removed.

What does that have to do with the alias? Just remove the danbooru URL if it’s wrong and merge.

I think as long as that deleted user isn’t currently associated as one of my aliases or with any of my socials on my artist page then I think I’m fine. I did not give consent for him to do that.

Sorry, to be honest I don’t how a lot of this works. I was just clarifying that I didn’t want to be mistaken for any other users on this site even deleted ones. Maybe this account I’m using can be linked on my artist page instead? Although I don’t intend to use it other than finding good art refs.

As for the current alias request I’m fine with that being added! After all that actually was me that chose to go by that name at one point. Although I doubt any of my current moots or followers would recognize it. Sorry for the confusion!

That's fine. As long as there’s nothing that can prove that that uploader could be you, there’s zero need to put their danbooru account in the artist links. As long as there’s direct evidence that they aren't you, then anyone adding their account back is just vandalizing. Go execute your ex-friend and then have some pizza together. This sounds unnecessarily complicated for a “Associate did this, not me” situation.

I understand how silly it seems, I’ve just been having a really rough time irl lately so finding out all this out of nowhere was just an huge annoyance. Thank you for the help I really appreciate it~
