Artists who self archive their content with their name attached to their uploads has the "uploader" designation visible

This would make it easier for users lower then staff to be able to recognize when an image is uploaded by the artist themselves, depleting false piracy flags.

This would effect the archives of the related userbase with the linkage of artist tag to user account.

While a few years ago visible archivers was removed for the very reason of people getting false interpretation of the visible name being someone claiming to be the artist of a post, or getting a false sense of worth because the post in question was popular despite the person involved doing no more then posting it. Having the name visible for actual linked artists would be beneficial for the above mentioned reasoning. As these users would actually have something to be be boastful about. (Assuming the artist in question is only archiving their own artwork)

Artists with linked accounts get a unique name color

Anywhere that a username is visible on the website, comments, forums, etc.

It would distinguish those among us who ARE creating art, not just consuming. Giving people who are looking for someone to possibly commission a hint that the user in question might have information in their user page that is of interest. Such as commission information or links to outside galleries like FA or Inkbunny.

There isn't exactly a lot of perks to having artist tags/ user accounts connected as of currently and there are quite the plethora of artists who do have accounts on e6 archiving their own content. While I don't think that simply being an artist automatically grants you rights to some of the perks users have worked for to earn, harmless changes like these I think would be a great advantage to everyone.
