The intention here is not to rely upon a DNP of any kind (in fact, it's news to me we actually had a DNP already), but instead to give artists tools to (for example) subscribe to their artist tag and be notified when new art tagged with their name is uploaded, so they can request a takedown - pretty much exactly how YouTube do things, except without image fingerprinting (yet).

The goal is to retain the 'anything publically posted is fair game' ethos, but to temper it with the ability for artists to get their shit taken down if they want. Yes, this means bawwlets can and will happen on e621 too, but it should NOT mean a reduction in the amount of art uploaded. In addition, we don't want to become another Fchan (ie, a hotbed of drama and argument) by instigating and enforcing a DNP list.

So basically, I'm not intending to move forward with a DNP, as it's really the artist's responsibility to ensure their work stays off the site (in an ideal world it'd be like Youtube, where you just upload a ton of your artwork and blacklist it all) - and instead rely upon making it a little easier for the artist to be proactive and ask for stuff to be taken down.
