create alias fenix-fox (137) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias cloudtrotter (42) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias deathwalkingterror (32) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias insomnicon (24) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias kodalynx (32) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias amaverse (380) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias prince_vaxis_(copyright) (175) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias chimangetsu (407) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias fernin (18) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias izen_puppyfox (27) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias thomasmink (12) -> invalid_tag (4)

create alias rismic (61) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias milkjunkie (125) -> invalid_tag (4)
create alias dirtyrenamon (116) -> invalid_tag (4)

Reason: Copyright tags for commissioners/character owners, which we don't do.

Also lol at the wall of text on prince_vaxis_(copyright)

Even if they aren't artists now, they could become artists someday. Don't Mods have the ability to create BURs to nuke tags? That might be better, I think.

Eh, the BUR follows the trend of aliasing commissioners to invalid_tag

Oh, ok.

Actually... Should we stop funnelling these to invalid tag and redirect to something like invalid commissioner? The benefits might be too minor to expend the effort for it though

I suggested that before but it didn't go anywhere. Shrug.

Not a bad idea. Redirecting them to a tag that the Wiki entry says "Please request to have character owner changed to artist if you see this page and it's something they drew."?
I assume that's what was meant.

Wouldn't adding an _(artist) suffix handle that?

Another one to probably add: ra'zim. It's set as a character tag, but is getting tagged on different characters (and even their characters are tagged with multiple tags, e.g. squirrel_(razim) and squirrel_(lost_in_chaos) both seeming to be the same character, as well as paint_(razim) and paint_(recallers_of_the_lost) seemingly being the same).

Can I ask Strikerman why the thumbs down?

(Neutral from me since I have no time to check if these are all 100% commissioners.)

I found almost all of them from searching the wiki for pages mentioning that the tag is for a commissioner, as well as a couple I've seen hanging around a few times. They're all character owners/commissioners.

Only one I'm slightly hesitant on is amaverse but given the universes thing on the wiki just says "soon" it looks to me like it's literally just "characters belonging to this guy".

Mmh. What I mean is, even if they're labelled as commissioners, it's not too uncommon to have some reference images and such hiding in the mix that actually are by the commissioner. Checking these to that level takes too much work, not really worth the effort and might as well invalidate these.

Always the possibility of commissioners contributing something artistically to the post. I'm just not a fan of killing on site for these.

Well, it's what we've been doing with them for a good while. A lot of them are already aliased there.
