Topic: Are we allowed to create an underage artist tag, but for their SFW works?

I was wandering around, and found elchilenito/neato5's old deleted arts
The link above is "only" about their deleted SFW arts.
As for SFW art, an underage person, or anyone else, is surely allowed to create.

I understand e621 is adult only, but that rule was made only for us users to follow.
Artists aren't users, they don't need to be here, they only need to give permission for we to upload.
Are we allowed to accept permission, from an underage artist, to upload their SFW arts here?

Furthermore, elchilenito is an adult at this moment.
If they give permission to upload those SFW arts that they created when they were underage,
Is their adult-version permission working then?

From what I remember it doesn't matter if the art was SFW or NSFW, you can't post any art from an underaged artist here.

As far as I know there are no exceptions. Even if the artist is now an adult and gives permission for it to be uploaded, any artwork they created while underage is not to be posted regardless of whether it's SFW or NSFW.

What everyone else already said. I think the Mods didn't want to try to navigate the inevitable confusing edge cases ("is it fetish art, or do some viewers just have a dirty mind?"), so they chose the simplest option. Plus, if the artist is still underage, they wouldn't be allowed to access the site to request a takedown of their art. (But for the sake of the rules, even if they are an adult now, it's still not allowed.)

The "they aren't allowed to access this site to request a takedone" part might seems reasonable .
But what's up with the "they are an adult now" part?
Their arts were created legally, and now they are able to access this site,
fully control and give any permission for upload or takedown.
How come that's a problem and not allowed.

Because that's what was decided
Them's the rules and they aren't changing any time soon

You know the answer, they just want to make sure legally it won't have a problem if an artist after being an adult and giving permission later changes their mind about their SFW art they did when they were underage.

It's just easier to ban every art while underage regardless if the artist gives their permission or not when they are of age.

I'm pretty sure it is a public image thing where we don't want to appear like we are condoning (possible) smut drawn by underaged artists, even though they are of age right now.
In addition, if we were to allow it (now that they are an adult), it will be a pain in the ass for janitors to cross-check when every piece of art was created, when the artist was born, and whether something could potentially be fetishistic/smut.

Thus, artworks made by underaged artists (now or before) are completely prohibited. No exceptions.
