Keep it civil, do not flame or bait other users. If you notice anything illegal or inappropriate being discussed, contact an administrator or moderator.
The artist themself must contact the site admin. They can do so using the email address support@gelbooru.com.
Only the artist who drew the image (or a lawyer on their behalf, I guess) may request its removal. It cannot be requested by any third party, even the person that commissioned the image. To that effect, we will verify the requesting party's identity before processing the removal request, which generally requires inserting information into the official source specifically requesting the image's removal from Gelbooru (this can, of course, be removed later if the artist wishes). We require this because many times in the past we have had users impersonate the artist to request an image be removed just because they don't like it or they don't like the artist.
The artist must directly request the image's removal from the site admin. We will not remove the image just based on a note asking that it not be reposted anywhere left on the original source. A note on the original source specifically requesting that the image not be reposted on Gelbooru may (or may not) allow the artist to skip the verification step, but they will still need to actually contact the site owner. We respect IP, but we also believe in fair use, which is why we require that the artist directly contact us to clearly state their intention. (Not to say that we require a DMCA; just a personal request is good enough.)
If the artist follows these steps, we will absolutely be happy to remove the artwork. However, Gelbooru users cannot request image removal based on copyright or IP claims.
By the way, I recommend against using the trinitylock domain name for post pages. The way the backend is set up makes it not work very well for that. Use gelbooru.com or youhate.us instead.

Thank you Jerl. I will pass this message to the original artist.
