Say an artist makes a Tweet saying that they don't want anyone posting their art anywhere else. Should they be put in the Avoid Posting list right away or would it only count if the artist themselves comes here and contacts a mod to be put in the List?

I only ask this cause I found this artist (ev_htf_(artist)) on here earlier, went to their account to see more pics and found this tweet: https://twitter.com/_EV_HTF/status/1552187653675659265

As far I know, it only counts if the artist themselves comes here and ask the staff.

The artists have to do it themselves. The only exception is paywall content and underage artists, as far as I know.

Artists are required to send a message by themselves to the e621 admin team if they wish to be in the Avoid Posting/Do Not Post (DNP) list.
The reason why we don't automatically add artists to the DNP list is because some of them do post their own artworks here or at least tolerates/permits it to be posted here.

However, this does not mean that one can simply ignore an artist's wishes and repost whatever they like over here.
The artists themselves still do have the right to remove any of their content from the site through takedowns.
Therefore, it is always ideal to secure permissions from everybody involved in the artwork first before posting it here.

I see, thank you and the others for your answers!

Hmm, i think explicit and questionable content is self explanatory for underaged artists. But what about safe stuff? Is that still a No Go?

Artists need the ability to be able to request a takedown of their artwork, which requires them to fill out a form on a website that's rated 18+.

From what I see, an artist might send a takedown notice and still not be added to the DNP list, this being an example: https://e621.net/takedowns/14704

that artist sent a message which was approved and is still nowhere to be seen on the DNP list. to add to that, that artist has another alias which still has two pictures uploaded under it, that being misuta710: https://e621.net/posts?tags=misuta710+

Their artist tag does still imply avoid_posting, though. Guess the name slipped through the cracks in being added to that page (you can send NMNY a DMail letting them know), but anyone that tags that artist will correctly imply avoid_posting to have it taken down.

The artist has to indicate what other names they use. We can't guess who might be who, and sometimes artists use different names and are okay with stuff from one name being posted and not another. If you have proof, though, you can make an alias request with the information that links the two names to the same artist.
