Banksy
(Published on 9. December 2020, 01:00 by Lisztes)
Normal and Killer Sudoku rules apply. Each row, column, and 3x3 box contains each number from 1 to 9 exactly once. The sum of all numbers in a cage (marked with dashed lines) must match the small number printed in its corner. No number appears more than once in a cage.
Antiknight Sudoku rules apply. Digits cannot be a knight's move apart from each other.
Arrow Sudoku rules apply. Digits along the arrow in the grid must sum to the digit in its circle.
The puzzle is also available online.
Solution code: Row 6 and Column 4

Very nice logic, thanks! I like how you hid the Banksy in the killer cages.

@Richard Since 22nd April 2020, there have been 1420 puzzles with the sudoku tag and 339 are in the blue zone (just under 24%). I'm surprised they're not acting now, maybe they will act when half of the puzzles activated are unrated :-(. I will probably stop reminding others about the flood, but will post infrequently to respect other setters.

@SudokuExplorer: Thanks for your ongoing motivation writing messages like this. I lost interest in doing so a few months ago.
I don't think there is any ground anymore for requests like this; the (current) last post in the forum thread you mentioned, contains a few lines about the general assembly that was held two weeks ago. My understanding of German is not optimal, but as fas as I read the message it states that during that general assembly, the majority of the present people was against measures to slow down or stop the puzzle flood. This means that the tap is wide open for everybody and there doesn't seem any ground any more to write messages like this that you have done more often in the past. Apart from your own interest of course. :-)
Needless to say that I am feeling pretty bad about how things go at the moment. :-(

@Lisztes: Could you please leave a larger gap between activating your sudokus, to help slow down the flood (which doesn't seem like slowing down)?
Read here about the situation on the forum (which I learnt about from Richard):

Maybe wait several days between uploading each puzzle. This is mainly so that new puzzles last longer on the first page of puzzles, and get a fair amount of attention from different solvers who may come on this site on different days, and thus get some constructive feedback and rating. It would also mean that solvers feel that they have more time to enjoy solving a given puzzle.
