Hi. I've checked the tag for the artist bebebebebe and if I'm not mistaken it seems like a HUGE amount of this artists works have been purged. I checked the artists tag on websites like rule34.xxx and he has like at least 700 submissions. Yet I don't see the artist on the DNP list, nor does his tag name have DNP associated with it.

Are we allowed to upload this artists works, or what is the reason for so much of the art previously available being missing?

They requested all their artwork to be removed at takedown #13231, there was some discussion about it at forum topic #30081.
You can see which posts were deleted with bebebebebe status:any. Since they did not request DNP you are fine do upload anything that hasn't already been posted here.

They requested it with takedown #13231. The reason is hidden, so we don't know why they had the art taken down, or why they weren't made DNP. Since they had all their work taken down previously, it's a fair bet they could do it again, so if you upload more art of theirs, there's a good risk of it getting deleted again and annoying the artist, so it would be best to ask them if it's okay before doing so. Also, be sure not to upload anything that was already deleted, as you can get a record for reuploading deleted content.

According to this thread, Bebebebebe sent in a Takedown of all their works. Even though their name isn't on the DNP list, it's best to treat them as if they were.

Alright thanks, at least then I know there wasn't any mistakes made and I'll be cautious about uploading anything else by this author
