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.

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 for 7 days. Bruh, you really, really need to educate yourself on the world. Have you truly never seen Russian before? Other languages exist. English is only one of them. English isn't written in american letters, or even english letters. Latin/Roman characters are used for it, while other languages use other alphabets.
But really, the reason for your ban is that we've told you multiple times before that people are allowed to post comments in any language. It is not against the rules to post comments in other languages. Please, leave these people alone. [Source]

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).
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 -.
