Thank you for the feedback - It’s hard for me to tell sometimes - the site behaves differently in some ways for staff, so I don’t know if you’re pending a cache update or if it’s just invisible for normal users … I’ll look again tomorrow. But at least this should prevent direct uploads with that artist tag.

Yeah, it’s sad.
It’s also a mistake to just have all your stuff deleted.
Like, if we delete someone’s art, then Google freezes their “Last Known Good” cache of that artist’s tag, and you’ll be able to find search results pointing them to missing pages here for months. Maybe even years. But if we PHP them then the obfuscated tag replaces the “last best data” in the caches, and the artist quickly “disappears” from searches.
And, I don’t know, but I assume there are people mirroring us, and I’m guessing those mirrors behave the same way as Google with regard to updates of tags.
So if people really want their artist tag to disappear, deleting the images is, perhaps ironically, the worse way to do it.
