You can submit an alias request by clicking on the Request alias on the top of the Forum page.

In order to find out whether or not the alias request is appropriate, find the answers for the following:

• 1) Did the artist openly acknowledge this is their alternative alias?
• If no, then keep the names separate. Chances are that they do not want them merged.
• If yes, continue below.
• 2) Do they posts SFW & NSFW artworks separately or do they merge them together regardless?
• If they post them together, consider aliasing all tags to the most popular name they use.
• If they post them separately, continue below.
• 3) Do the SFW & NSFW names sound similar (e.g., Tojo_The_Thief vs. TojoAfterDark) or deliberately named differently?
• If they are similar, consider aliasing all tags to the most popular NSFW name they use.
• If they are different, check their profiles to see if they would really want them to be merged.
• See if they keep separate accounts for both SFW & NSFW, this indicates desire to not have them merged.
• See if they specifically mention on their profile/journals that they would want them separated.
• If possible, send them a message and ask for their preference.
