<strong>April 1st:</strong> We're currently experiencing connectivity issues to some parts of the world, this does not appear to be an issue on our end we'd be able to fix, but appears to be something with Cloudflare's nodes.
If you can try restarting your router / device and see if you'll be routed to a node that works as it should.
Alternatively if you're using a VPN setting it to the US might help as well.</li>

</ul> e621:rules (locked) e621 Community Code of Conduct and Site Rules<p>Looking for what's acceptable to post? Click here.<br>h4.Last Updated: 08/25/18</p>Code of Conduct Introduction<p>The forums and website are here to provide you with a friendly environment where you can discuss ideas, give advice, and converse about other aspects of e621 with fellow members.
The community forums and primary website are at their best when participants treat their fellow posters with respect and courtesy.
Therefore, we ask that you conduct yourself in a civilized manner while participating in these forums.</p>
<p>The guidelines and rules listed below explain what behavior is expected of you and what behavior you can expect from other community members.
Note that the following guidelines are not exhaustive, and may not address all manner of offensive behavior.
As such, the forum moderators shall have full discretion to address any behavior that they feel is inappropriate.
Also, suspension or banishment from the posting section of the website will always result in the same regard to forum access.
Your access to the forums and website is a ‘privilege’, and not a ‘right’.
We reserve the right to suspend your access to the forums and website at any time for reasons that include, but are not necessarily limited to, your failure to abide by these guidelines.
In addition, these guidelines are not enforced on the e621 IRC channel, or similar off-site social channels.
Likewise, any guidelines in use for the e621 IRC channels, or similar off-site social channels will not affect your access on the forums or website.
Please note that the application of these rules varies based on the section of the website it is posted.
Some things are OK to be as part of a 'Post' submission to the website, whereas it would not be OK as part of a 'Forum Thread'.</p>
<p>We reserve the right to evaluate each incident on a case by case basis.
The action we take may be more lenient or more severe than those listed under each category:</p>Table of Contents<p>Abuse of Site Tools<br>Advertising<br>Age Restrictions<br>Backseat Moderating<br>Bestiality<br>(Refusal to Use) Blacklist<br>Circumventing a Suspension / Ban<br>Creepy Comments<br>Disregard of the Site Administration<br>Distribution of Real-Life Personal Information<br>Extreme Sexuality / Violence<br>Harassing or Defamatory<br>Illegal Activities or Drugs<br>Impersonating an Employee<br>Major Religions, Religious Figures, Political Parties, or Political Figures<br>Name Changes<br>National, Racial, or Ethnic Hatred<br>Plagiarism<br>Posting Abuse<br>Posting Hacks, Trojan Horses, or Malicious Programs<br>Posting Unreleased Content / Hacking Data Files<br>Real-Life Threats<br>Role-Play<br>Sexual Orientation<br>Solicitation<br>Spamming or Trolling<br>Tagging Abuse / Tagging Vandalism</p>Glossary<p>Post: An image or other content uploaded to e621, on the posts section of the website.
Not to be confused with a 'forum post'.
<br>Comment: A textual comment made on a Post, on the posts section of the website, or blips in the blip section.<br>Forum Thread: A 'thread' of comments on a single subject, on the forums section of the website.<br>Forum Post: A comment made on a Forum Thread.</p>Code of Conduct Policy Categories<p>
<strong>Abuse of Site Tools</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 7 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Using any of the site tools, such as Flag for Deletion, ticket reporting system, takedowns, notes, or any other site tool in a fashion that can be construed as disruptive, spamming, or defamatory</li>
<li>Putting gibberish in any of the description fields</li>
<li>Repeatedly submitting invalid, incorrect, or unnecessary requests</li>
<li>Repeatedly submitting username change requests</li>
<li>Using any of the site tools to “backseat moderate”</li>
<li>Reporting forum posts, threads, comments, blips, or any other site media that is older than 6 months</li>
<li>Voting with multiple accounts on the same posts or comments</li>
</ul>
<p>It should be noted that if a user reports a post, thread, comment, or any other site media that is older than 6 months, but contains a publicly visible malicious link, that they will be exempt from this rule</p>
<p>In addition, if a person who is submitting content wishes it for it to be removed, for any reason, within 48 hours, that request will be honored.</p>
<p>
<em>This is aimed at making sure trolls and other disrespectful people do not detract or harm the look of the website by putting in requests for admin action with no clear, real, or valid basis.
An example is someone who issues multiple username change requests in a short period of time.
Another is someone repeatedly reporting another user’s comments when they didn’t break any rules.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Advertising</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Any non-beneficial, non-approved related businesses, organizations, or websites</li>
<li>Can be linked with Spamming or Trolling if it is used multiple times in a short period of time</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are the content creator of a given post, it is acceptable and encouraged for you to advertise products or services you may offer, in the 'description' field of your post.
In the future, we hope to offer a more streamlined and useful system for the promotion of your own work.<br>If you wish to promote your product or service, please contact ads@dragonfru.it with any questions/approvals<br>Visit https://e621.net/forum/show/10410 for more information </p>
<p>
<em>This is intended to prevent people from using e621’s forums and posts from being a source of income/traffic for their unrelated business.
If someone would like to advertise on the website, we encourage them to contact us so we can try and get them better exposure.
This also allows them a place to go if they want to pay for a banner on the website.
Not all ads have to be paid for either, and in some cases, we allow businesses or projects to receive free promotions in order to do good for the community.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Age Restrictions</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: Permanent</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Any persons under the age of 18, or as determined by local laws</li>
<li>Any comment or evidence of being under the age of 18</li>
</ul>
<p>Your account is your responsibility.
If your account was breached/hacked, then you can dispute the problem and we will look into it on a case-by-case basis<br>If found to violate this rule, the account may be banned until the user’s 18th birthday.</p>
<p>
<em>Even though different states/provinces/territories have different rules, e621.net’s management and service office is located in Arizona, USA and it is by those laws that we are responsible for.
We cannot knowingly allow any minors to view pornographic content, so we must be proactive in preventing this underage access.
This includes accounts that are either legally or illegally accessed by minors.
Furthermore, we require photo identification and proof of someone turning 18 in order to release access to their account.
Such proof can be sent to the senior management group to determine authenticity, and must include the user’s face as well as the government or state issued identification, or other applicable document.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Backseat Moderating</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 to 7 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Implying moderator/administrator privileges where none exist</li>
<li>Non-administrator/moderator/staff threatening to use disciplinary actions against another user</li>
<li>Demanding, ordering, or otherwise stating to an administrator/moderator/staff certain administrative actions to be taken against another user</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>This is aimed at preventing non-administrators from attempting to enforce the rules of the website.
It does not matter if the user was correct, or incorrect, in their actions.
Most, if not all, users are largely unaware of the daily dealings with the admin staff and would not be aware of any pending changes or discussions.
In addition, users cannot demand an admin ban someone, report a comment, take down art, or any of the moderator/administrator actions.
However, they can request that we look into something, so that we may perform our own research and resolve it without bias.
Example: Sending a PM to an admin telling them to ban a user, with or without a reason.
Example: Sending in a ticket citing a rule violation, then stating that if it wasn’t done to their satisfaction, they want all of their art removed from the site.</em>
<br>
<br>
<strong>Bestiality</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 7 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Creating a post, forum post, or thread that is an inappropriate reference to real-life bestiality, sexual relations, or bodily functions</li>
<li>Linking or commenting on a website that promotes material that contains inappropriate references to real-life bestiality, sexual relations, or bodily functions</li>
<li>Linking to explicit, real-life material involving animal genitalia or animals mating</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>The two keywords here are “real-life” and “inappropriate”.
Obviously, there are going to be bestiality references, and the nature of our site has to be more lenient about it than most.
However, the moment someone mentions or posts about a real-life animal and makes sexual comment about it, then they fall under this.
No personal discussion.
If someone makes a sexual reference to a drawn or imaginary animal, that is fine.
Example: I tried to get the horse penis to be realistic in size (okay) Man, I fucked my neighbor’s horse so hard last night (not okay).</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Refusal to Use Blacklist</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 to 7 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Creating posts, threads, or comments that complain about artwork that can be blacklisted</li>
<li>Wrongfully claiming lack of knowledge about the blacklist system to avoid punishment from the previous rule</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>This is intended to reduce or eliminate the complaints that users make about seeing a certain type of content on the site.
If a user chooses, or refuses, to utilize the blacklist, but continues to complain about content they find offensive or unsatisfactory, then this rule may be enforced.
Additionally, if a user finds a post that is incorrectly tagged and willingly chooses to complain about seeing it instead of placing the correct tag, this rule may also be enforced then.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Circumventing a Suspension / Ban</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: Permanent</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Posting anything on another account</li>
<li>Having someone post on your behalf</li>
</ul>
<p>If someone is found to have violated this rule, they may be banned with no appeal, regardless of previous disciplinary action<br>Alternate accounts are generally okay, so long as they are neither used to evade a suspension/ban, nor to abuse the vote tools</p>
<p>
<em>Fairly self-explanatory.
If someone gets Suspended or Banned, and they try to go on a friend’s account, or alt account, and post anyway, that account gets banned as well.
The other side to this is if they were under a short-term suspension and they go around to circumvent it, that short-term suspension becomes a permanent ban.
If a user does this, but acts in such a way as to not continue the actions that got them banned, then an admin may choose not to enforce this rule, under the guise of helping the greater good.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Creepy Comments</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Creating forum posts, threads, or comments that cause an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease, or are sexually inappropriate</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>This is intended to ensure that users do not express their personal fetishes/desires publicly.
Users have the right, within realistic expectations, to browse comfortably without unneeded or unnecessary commentary of those who wish to express their desires.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Disregard of the Site Administration</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Failure to abide by direct instructions by an administrator, moderator, and/or employee of Bad Dragon or Dragonfruit</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>This is intended to make sure that any instructions given by the staff of e621 are followed, but is mainly for minor things that are annoying or disrupting.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Distribution of Real-Life Personal Information</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 7 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Releasing or assisting in releasing any real-life information about other members or employees of Bad Dragon, Dragonfruit, or e621, or anyone else</li>
</ul>
<p>If someone is found to have violated this rule, they may be banned with no appeal, regardless of previous disciplinary action</p>
<p>
<em>Self-explanatory for the most part, but any attempt to reveal personal information, whether true or not, about someone will qualify.
Example: I heard EDFDarkAngel1 lives in Phoenix (okay) I heard that EDFDarkAngel1 drives a red 1961 Ferrari GT California (not okay).</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Extreme Sexuality / Violence</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Linking to websites that refer to extreme real-life violent sexual activity</li>
<li>Linking to websites that refer to extreme real-life violence</li>
<li>Linking to websites that refer to extreme kinks and/or fetishes</li>
</ul>
<p>Videos of rape, snuff, executions, and similar material all fall under this category.<br>Linking to generic pornographic material is still fine as long as it doesn't break any other rules.</p>
<p>
<em>The intent is to prevent real-life violent content from websites we do not control from being exposed to users of e621.
The rule specifically mentions links to other websites since we control the content here.
As to what defines as “extreme kink” is going to be judged on a case-by-case basis.
However, if it is ruled that one thing is extreme kink, it must be consistent in that ruling.
For example, if you consider scat as an extreme kink (not saying that we should), all posts and comments that contain scat should be removed as well, so judge wisely.
Example: a post of a drawn character getting graphically and brutally slaughtered (okay).
A forum thread linking to 4chan’s /c/ thread (not okay)</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Harassing or Defamatory</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 7 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Insultingly refer to any individuals, including users, site staff, or Bad Dragon employees</li>
<li>Performing actions which result in ongoing harassment to any individuals, including users, site staff, or Bad Dragon employees</li>
<li>Using a User-requested ticket to publicly mock them</li>
</ul>
<p>This will be rendered against intent as well as action.
The idea is to prevent a member from being uncomfortable in the forums or on the site.</p>
<p>
<em>This is intended to stop the insults and offensive comments that some people use.
If someone makes a public comment, and someone finds it offensive, it will most likely fall under this.
Example: I don’t agree with the admins (okay) The admins here are fucking stupid (not okay)</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Illegal Activities or Drugs</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 to 7 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Forum threads or comments that references to abusing illegal drugs</li>
<li>Forum threads or comments that references to performing illegal activities</li>
</ul>
<p>Admitting to partaking in arson, bestiality, kidnapping, manslaughter or other similar serious crimes will lead to the permanent closure of your account.<br>Being a convicted felon for any of the above crimes may also lead to the permanent closure of your account.</p>
<p>
<em>This is intended to make sure we are not promoting drug use or other illegal activities in commentary form.
For example it is okay if someone posts a picture of someone shooting up, but it is not okay if someone comments that they like to shoot up.
We do not want anyone looking at the comments and thinking drug abuse or other illegal activities are acceptable (because someone else is doing it).
Example: a post where a strung-out character has a needle in their arm (okay) Comment in the post’s thread: Oh wow, that reminds me of me an hour ago! (not okay)</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Impersonating an Employee or Moderator</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: Permanent</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Passing yourself off as a current or past employee of Bad Dragon, Dragonfruit, or e621, especially to post false information</li>
<li>Passing yourself off as a current or past moderator of Bad Dragon, Dragonfruit, or e621, especially to post false information</li>
<li>Passing yourself off as another user to harass or besmirch them or their reputation</li>
</ul>
<p>Passing yourself off as anyone else is not acceptable, and if it is someone who has been suspended or banned, it may lead to your account being banned</p>
<p>
<em>This is intended to make sure that all official information comes from admin accounts, and not someone else.
This includes posting official information on a friend’s account, or even an alternate one.
Make sure that if you are posting information, you do it from your administrator or moderator account.
This also goes for ban-evaders, if someone tries to impersonate them, we will assume it is them trying to evade the ban.
Example: Hey everyone, it’s EDFDarkAngel1 on a friend’s account.
I wanted to tell you about some of the upcoming site changes…</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Major Religions, Religious Figures, Political Parties, or Political Figures</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Any discussion in forum posts, threads, or comments regarding major religions or religious figures</li>
<li>Any discussion in forum posts, threads, or comments regarding major political parties or political figures</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>The main point behind this is, while we do encourage free speech and we have no problem with someone saying “thank God” or “Jesus blesses you”, we have to draw the line at an actual discussion, as it often leads to passionate and heated debate and a general distraction from what is ultimately a furry art archive.
The same goes for politics, we know that people want to talk about it, and often do, but there are places for that and they are not here.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Name Changes</strong>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Common names are not reserved, if you give up a common name through a name change we will not help you get it back</li>
<ul>
<li>Unique names are reserved for 14 days</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>Common names (like names of popular characters and common words, e.g.
"Charizard") are free to be taken by someone else after a name change and we will not help you get it back.
More leeway will be given for more unique names (e.g.
"SamCollie313" or "TheFlattestPumpkin") in the event that someone "steals" it.</p>
<p>
<em>This is intended to help give users some leeway with their username.
We will help if a unique name is lost for any reason, but we will not offer assistance if it happens to a very generic name.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>National, Racial, or Ethnic Hatred</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Promoting national, racial, or ethnic hatred</li>
<li>Creating posts, threads, or comments with recognized national, racial, or ethnic slurs</li>
<li>Creating posts, threads, or comments with hateful content</li>
<li>Alluding to symbols of national, racial, or ethnic hatred</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>This is intended to make sure people aren’t outwardly offending people’s national, racial, or ethnic pride.
This is something that we need to gauge by intent, not just presentation.
There are acceptable forms of art that present shock value, or an unpopular point of view, but where we need to step in is if someone is deliberately being malicious.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Plagiarism</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 7 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Wrongfully claiming ownership of artwork</li>
<li>Tracing artwork without the consent of the original owner or artist</li>
<li>Repeatedly creating unauthorized edits after the original artist asked to stop</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>Commonly known as art theft, this is something we take very serious as the work of artists are the life blood of our website.
Any found traced pictures will be deleted and any wrong claims will be hidden or corrected.</em>
<br>
<em>Important to note, we still allow “fan edits” but we will remove them if the artist wishes so and we may take action against the editor if the edits continue to be uploaded <strong>after</strong> the artist has asked to stop them.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Posting Abuse</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 to 7 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Posting works made by one of the artists or publishers on the Avoid Posting List</li>
<li>Posting any commercial or pay-to-view content</li>
<li>Posting real pornography / real images or videos depicting illegal activities (such as bestiality, child pornography, etc.)</li>
<li>Knowingly uploading previously deleted content</li>
<li>Removing any watermark(s) or signature(s) from submissions</li>
<li>Knowingly or repeatedly uploading a lower-resolution image, if there is a higher-resolution of that image available</li>
<li>Knowingly or repeatedly uploading screenshots, images under 200x200 pixels, images with artifacts or large watermarks, and/or non-artistic images (motivational posters, Second Life, memes, image macros, etc.)</li>
<ul>
<li>See our Uploading Guidelines for a full list of things that are bad to upload</li>
</ul>
<li>Editing/creating post descriptions (if you are not the artist, uploader, character owner, or commissioner) to create information</li>
<li>Using post descriptions to express personal feelings, create drama, or otherwise take away from describing the attached post</li>
<li>Please try to use proper spelling and grammar in post descriptions</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, if a person who is submitting content wishes it for it to be removed, for any reason, within 48 hours, that request will be honored.<br>After 48 hours, the standard FFD and Takedown policies apply</p>
<p>
<em>This is intended to ensure there is a minimum level of quality on the website.
By ensuring people who have specifically requested that their art not be on the site, removing art that is sufficiently poor quality, or encouraging tag usage.
It also is expanded to include post descriptions and ensure that no one uses it to vandalize someone’s post.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Posting Hacks, Trojan Horses, or Malicious Programs</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: Permanent</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Creating posts, threads, or comments that link to hacks or malicious programs/viruses</li>
</ul>
<p>If you want to report a hack or other malicious program, please contact the site administrator via the Contact Us page with screenshots and/or other evidence sufficient to reproduce the problem<br>If someone is found to have violated this rule, they may be banned regardless of previous disciplinary action<br>Alternatively, you may contact any admin via dmail, email, or IRC chat to report this issue</p>
<p>
<em>This is intended to keep the website free of unwanted software/malware.
Understand that the user may not be outwardly aware that their link is harmful, but most are pretty obvious that they intend to infect others.
Example: a post containing a hyperlink to a website with generic/unrelated content and a large number of attention-grabbing ads</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Posting Unreleased Content / Hacking Data Files</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: e621 or Bad Dragon related, Permanent.
All others, 3 to 7 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Showing unreleased content from anyone that has been discovered through unauthorized means</li>
<li>Showing the results of successful or attempted hacks of the Bad Dragon, Dragonfruit, or e621 servers, websites, or affiliates</li>
<li>Showing paid content, or creating forum posts or comments that link to content only available through paid subscription services</li>
<li>Discuss, or display any data not available via public websites</li>
<li>Quoting, or otherwise referencing, another user who posts illegal/paid content or data</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>Since e621 is an extension of Bad Dragon, with it comes the expectation that if someone comes into access with unreleased content, whether it be an unreleased toy, new concept or design, or paysite material, that they do not post it in e621.
We take our security very seriously, and any breaches are investigated fully.
Example: a post containing a Bad Dragon toy that isn’t released yet.</em>
</p>
<p>
<em>Addendum: If someone asks about unreleased content, and the answer is that it hasn’t been released or is otherwise unavailable, then that is okay.
Discussion regarding its contents, location, opinions of such, or anything pertaining to unreleased content is not acceptable.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Real-Life Threats</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 7 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Language that refers to violence in any capacity against a person or persons</li>
</ul>
<p>If someone is found to have violated this rule, they may be banned with no appeal, regardless of previous disciplinary action</p>
<p>
<em>Offensive language and behavior may be tolerated if everyone is okay with things, but the moment it turns into anything else, we need to step in.
Administrators and moderators are expressly forbidden to use offensive behavior or language in any communication while assuming official responsibilities.
Example: I will kick your ass if you flag one of my posts again (not okay)</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Role-Play</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Initiating or partaking in explicit role-play of any type</li>
<li>Impersonating fictional/nonfictional characters or people</li>
<li>Initiating or partaking in role-play with characters in the related thread/post</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>This is intended to prevent a culture that is inherently self-destructive and takes away from the website.
There are acceptable forms of role-play, typically that which reinforces a point, creates humor, or otherwise does not cause a disruption.
Even in this setting, however, role-play must be just a single one or two line comment, and cannot be made in response to another role-player.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Sexual Orientation</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Insultingly refer to any aspect of sexual orientation pertaining to themselves or other members</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>The intent is to prevent anyone’s sexual orientation from being the target of malice, harassment, etc.
Example: I picked up a fag from the ground (okay).
Then I dropped him back down again (not okay).</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Solicitation</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 7 days</em>
</p>
<p>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Soliciting personal or otherwise confidential information of another user or users.</li>
<li>Requesting, demanding, or offering to trade real life photographs, videos, or any other form of media from another user or users</li>
<li>Requesting, demanding, or offering to trade information from another user or users</li>
</ul>
<p>If someone asks you for your own personal photos or other personal information, do not answer them and report the comment, blip, forum post, or dmail to the staff!</p>
<p>
<em>This is intended to keep the site safe and secure for all our users.
While we are not going to discipline any users for reasonable requests, such as a what they had for breakfast, or pictures of their world famous chili recipe, we do allow users to report any incidents that appear to act against the best intentions of the site.</em>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Spamming or Trolling</strong>

<em>Spamming is self-explanatory, but unless the entire thread is joining in and enjoying an offensive or harassing comment, someone who posts insulting comments should get flagged.
We will have to use common sense when enforcing this.
people can have opinions and state them, but that does not allow them to make someone else feel bad or unwanted.
If no one complains or gets offended, AND it’s not an outwardly offensive remark, then it will be okay.
However, if someone complains, gets offended, OR it’s an outwardly offensive remark (I think EDFDarkAngel1 is an asshole and should be shot), then they need to be flagged.</em>

<strong>Tagging Abuse / Tagging Vandalism</strong>
<br>
<em>Suggested Suspension Length: 3 days</em>
<br>This category includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Failure to cite a minimum of 4 tags to an uploaded post</li>
<li>Adding a tag to a post that is not either clearly visible, or reasonably assumed</li>
<li>Removing a valid tag, either as part of a dispute/argument, or to place one that is not correct</li>
<li>Failure to properly set the rating of your upload (https://e621.net/help/ratings)</li>
<li>Knowingly adding or editing a post source to an incorrect link</li>
<li>Adding invalid/disruptive tags, or any tags that could be considered as defamatory or spam</li>
<li>Using Unicode in tags, with the exception of foreign artist/character names</li>
</ul>
<p>
<em>The purpose for this is to prevent users from abusing the system that for easy searching/indexing of the posts.
This enforces the site’s “Tag What You See” rule, in that you cannot tag an image as “male” or “female” unless there is visible evidence of that.
Even if another site has the same character with better visibility of its gender, that post uniquely must contain those elements.
Mistagging, adding invalid tags, or removing valid tags are not punishable for a one-time offense, but they will be disciplined if they produce a pattern of tagging abuse.</em>
