Do not add any tags that are invalid, and do not remove tags that are valid.
Tags in the general category are considered valid if they follow the Tag What You See principle – that is, they must be describing what is visible in the post.
Tags in the lore category convey the artist's intentions or other background information.
Tags in other categories are valid if the information that they convey is objectively true, such as the artist's name or the image's aspect ratio.
Do not upload posts with fewer than ten general, non-implied tags.
This restriction will be eased if the post does not have ten distinct tags that are reasonably applicable to it.
Do not use tag or description edits to be disruptive.
Do not add any sources that are invalid, and do not remove any sources that are valid.
Valid sources are defined as web pages where the artwork can be found.
At least one source page should be publicly available, unless you are the artist, commissioner, or copyright owner of the artwork.
Do not use links to piracy sites as sources.
Links to the exact submission page where the artwork can be found should be prioritized. This is not the same as the direct image link, which isn’t helpful. Links to the artist's gallery pages should be added to their artist page.
Do not add source links that redirect to a different URL (eg. URL shorteners).
Dead links to pages where the artwork could be found in the past are still considered valid and should instead be disabled by prefixing them with -.

Banned permanently. You need to be 18 to access this page. This ban won't expire, but if you have reached the sufficient age you can request your ban to be lifted by writing an email to [email protected].
Age Restrictions
By using e621 and/or registering an account, you agree that you are at least eighteen years of age. No individual under the age of eighteen may register an account, use our services, provide any personal information to e621, or otherwise upload or transmit personal information through our services.
Even though laws may vary depending on your location, e621.net's management and service office is located in Arizona, USA, and it is those laws that we are required to abide by. We cannot knowingly allow any minors to view pornographic content, so we must be proactive in preventing underage access. This includes accounts that are either legally or illegally accessed by minors. Furthermore, we require official, government-issued photo identification as proof of you turning eighteen in order to release access to your account. Please email us at [email protected] for further details.
Images where the character owner is underage, are against the rules and they will be deleted. Please avoid uploading those. Doing this too much can penalize your account.
Also, if an image was deleted because the character owner is underage, do not re-upload the same image again. This is also against the rules.
If you believe an image was deleted in error, then you should message the staff member who deleted it, but re-uploading deleted images is not a good idea. [1][2]
Posting Abuse
Do not knowingly or repeatedly upload content that goes against the Uploading Guidelines.
Do not post works made by any of the artists or publishers on the Avoid Posting list or break any uploading conditions set there.
Do not post any commercial or pay-to-view content. "Free" pay-to-view content – where you are allowed to set the price to $0 if you so choose – cannot be posted unless 60 days have passed after it was made available for free.
Do not knowingly upload or share previously deleted content. If you wish to dispute a post's removal, contact the staff member responsible for the deletion via a private message.
Do not knowingly or repeatedly upload or share unauthorized edits of artwork after the original artist or character owner asked others not to.
Do not knowingly or repeatedly upload content made by minors or featuring characters created or owned by minors.

Do not upscale or otherwise manipulate images to artificially create a "better" version of an existing image.
Do not upload content that is associated with recent real-life tragedies.
Do not remove valid tags, sources, artist credits, etc. If you are the artist or character owner and you wish to have your images deleted, then you need to file a proper takedown request by following the instructions on this page here: https://e621.net/static/takedown[Source]

Banned for 3 days. Still making comments to shame, troll and complain about things you don't like. Not cool, bro. Because you have been warned about doing this type of things several times in the last few months, this time you get a temporary time out so you can real the rules that you keep breaking. You might start here https://e621.net/wiki_pages/1187 and also https://e621.net/wiki_pages/1638 . Especially the sections about 'disruptive behavior' and 'failure to blacklist' and also look over explanations about 'inappropriate comments' too. A lot of your commenting history has these problems and the next time you make these types of comments, the ban will be permanent. So take the opportunity how to comment to learn better and within the rules from now on. [1][2][3]

Tagging, Rating, and Sourcing Abuse
Do not add any tags that are invalid, and do not remove tags that are valid.
Tags in the general category are considered valid if they follow the Tag What You See principle – that is, they must be describing what is visible in the post.
Tags in the lore category convey the artist's intentions or other background information.
Tags in other categories are valid if the information that they convey is objectively true, such as the artist's name or the image's aspect ratio.
Do not upload posts with fewer than ten general, non-implied tags.
This restriction will be eased if the post does not have ten distinct tags that are reasonably applicable to it.
Do not use tag or description edits to be disruptive.
Do not add any sources that are invalid, and do not remove any sources that are valid.
Valid sources are defined as web pages where the artwork can be found.
At least one source page should be publicly available, unless you are the artist, commissioner, or copyright owner of the artwork.
Do not use links to piracy sites as sources.
Links to the exact submission page where the artwork can be found should be prioritized. This is not the same as the direct image link, which isn’t helpful. Links to the artist's gallery pages should be added to their artist page.
Do not add source links that redirect to a different URL (eg. URL shorteners).

Please show more diligence when uploading. [Source] Acquiring files from inferior sources increases the chance of having your posts replaced or deleted as inferior versions and lowers your overall post limit. Look into the artist's other sources and choose accordingly.
Consult our Sites and Sources howto if you need guidance on source quality.
