"Banned artist" tag - URLs causing conflict

Posted under Tags

Just made a mistake there - created artist iwamoto_hidetoshi since Danbooru Uploader didn't recognise the artist as s_tanly (source:http://i1.pixiv.net/img13/img/muff/, likely because banned artist is of tag-type "artist" and ALSO lists source:http://i1.pixiv.net/img13/img/muff/ as one of its URLs.

Thus, when Danbooru Uploader tries to search for the artist tag, it finds 2 artists and returns an error.

It would probably be best to remove all URLs from the banned artist page (as the implication will flag the posts automatically).

The reason the urls are listed on the banned_artist entry is so that it shows up in the artist finder when uploading (in addition to the artist tag itself), so that uploaders don't accidentally upload banned work.

But seeing as how Albert said he doesn't think there's an issue with people uploading banned work, there doesn't seem to be much reason to prevent it. So yes, removing all the urls should be okay. The implication after the fact should be enough.

Though additionally isn't this inability of Danbooru Uploader to handle multiple artists a bug? They might want to fix that.
