Pages linking to pixiv impostors

Posted under General

I've noticed that few artists pages link to the scam pixiv profiles not run by the real artists (they use the same tags under all their works, and try to fool people into paying them for commissions)
In some of these cases the fanbox is most likely fake as well.

For example scott_malin is linking to https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/90982008 which isn't the artist's real page.
Not entirely sure what should be done in that situation other than removing the links from URL list? Should the links get added to the wiki and marked as impostor accounts in some way?

Here's a pixiv account list that pudgeruffian made, they contacted some of the artists too to confirm it.
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/110513828

Also quickly checking the artists on the list, I'm not sure why BoonSky is a negsus alias, they're different artists.

BUR #26821 has been rejected.

Wiki entries have already been created for all imposters.

Congratulation, you did the worst thing you could've possibly done. Now those accounts will show up to users of the Translate Pixiv Tags userscript, making it seem like they're legit artists, and at the same time these implications are completely useless because they'll be removed automatically.

What I said above led to this... What's a better option to reduce the chances of something like what happened to Boonsky and Negsus? Should second-parties receive the same treatment and if so, can something be done to stop the bot from creating arttags like ying_xiong_lian_meng and ying_xiong_lian_meng_shou_you (official LoL Weibo)?

I think signoizer_(viteoria) is the only artist entry I kept for a third-party, and recently I found itowa.haru. I didn't create any, but I've knowingly kept many for second-parties similar to niliu_chahui, where there are posts lacking info about the actual artists.
