Curious if anyone knows his tag. If I use marc_schnakenberg in search, it autocorrects to invalid_tag.

It's listed as "privacy request' so I imagine he doesn't want his real name associated with a website full of furry porn.

Apparently he had his artist tag invalidated years ago for privacy reasons. [source]

Edit: He ended up changing the name to a psudonym but then later had his stuff DNP about a year or so ago and took his stuff down from almost everywhere else it's posted. So, it's not on here anymore. Although if you can figure out where he posts stuff for yourself he's posted new art as recently as yesterday, so he's not dead which I was thinking was a possibility.

Wouldn't it be better to alias to anonymous_artist since we actually have that tag? Otherwise prople might continue looking for the artist, plus it will be clear why the bame doesn't appear. honestly I just feel like invalid tag is a stupid concept since it requires a lot of thinking to figure out what you did wrong and most people will most likely not bother, but that's another topic entirely.

The weird thing is that he still puts "© Marc Schnakenberg 2018" at the bottom bit of his new art, so it dosn't seem like he has a problem putting his real life human name on stuff. I don't really understand why the name was invalidated rather than aliased.

Well, it's not about the name on the art, it's about, say, a prospective employer or future in laws or whatever googling his name and finding it on a website that's 80% porn.

Even if he, himself, only posts clean stuff, it's still here, sitting next to loli guro porn.

But google can't read his signature, y'know?

Wouldn't aliasing his name still remove it from google search results?

Well, I was replying to the 'putting real name' on it part.

It would. I think the only reason why it's aliased to invalid_tag is because the alias predates the creation of the anonymous_artist tag.

Interestingly, when I try to find his stuff via Google, this forum thread appears. This may be a problem if SnowWolf is correct.

And where might this new art be? If you're allowed to divulge, of course.

I'm not comfortable linking directly to it but I'll give you the first step .
One of the posts under his pseudonym that was on here before it was deleted has a source link to where he posts now.
