General Site Rules
1. Under no circumstances will Child Pornography be tolerated, NO EXCEPTIONS. This includes realistic simulations and fakes, all "fakes" that portray an underage actor / singer etc. They are not permitted and any Child Pornography posters will receive a permanent ban and your relevant information passed onto your local authorities; we cannot stress this enough. Underage means under 18 years since exiting the womb. More info here.
1.5. Do not post erotic/pornographic toddlerkon (drawn images of toddlers), lolicon/shotacon or realistic 3d renderings of underage characters where the character depicted is clearly pre-pubescent. We consider any character that appears pre-pubescent or excessively underaged, even just in terms of body proportions, to violate this rule. Non-human drawings are exempt. More info here.
2. Do not post real photographs of bestiality. (Anything drawn is okay).
3. If you are under 18 or if it is deemed illegal for you to view pornographic content, then please leave immediately. Simply claiming to be underage, even as a joke, will get you banned until you are of age. This includes the "I'm 12 and what is this?" meme and variants. Don't lie about being underage on a porn site - this should be common sense.
4. You must read through and accept the Disclaimer on the front page before viewing, posting, commenting, or otherwise using the site in any way.
5. If you are an artist or a copyright holder of images on this site and don’t wish them to be here, then email the moderator team at staff@paheal.net. Don't go ranting in the comments section; be mature about it and contact us directly. Details here.
6. As above if you have any problems with the site, don't agree with our posting policies or just plain hate us, contact us directly about it instead of ranting in the comments section.
7. Don't spam useless comments and avoid comments that cause the screen to stretch (if a horizontal scrollbar appears on your browser window solely because of your comment, that's bad; this isn't meant to prohibit a lively discussion). Useless includes repeating the same comment over and over, especially across multiple images.
8. If there are under 60 images of "real" porn of a character, then "soft" porn is allowed until there is enough "real" porn. By "soft", I mean ecchi, topless men, lots of cleavage, sex juices, fetish wear, bulges, camel toe, bare ass, and generally less explicit erotica. Otherwise, visible penetration of orifices (except dildos or other inorganic penetrating mouth) or visible genitals, anuses, or female nipples is required.

Ascii spam is still spam and will be dealt with as such.
10. Do not impersonate artists. This includes using artists' names as your own login name when you are not really that artist. You may be permanently banned.
11. The admins reserve the right to take measures against you if you break the rules, so just don't do it. We also reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, even if they haven't strictly broken a rule but have done something else objectionable. You can make appeals via the staff email.
12. Even if a part of a comic is not porn it is kept so that we have the complete comic / manga / doujin.
13. (obsolete, disregard, deleteme tag no longer used)
14. Don't abuse the "Report Image" button. Also, always fill in the "reason" box, with something better than "please delete". If you don't have a valid reason, don't report. In the case of dupes, provide an image link in the reason box, pointing to the image to be kept ("dupe of >>000000", where 000000 is the image ID). Unless staff tell you otherwise, artist takedown requests are handled via staff email as described in the FAQ, not via image reports.
15. Do not post fakes (photoshops) of actors, unless they are in character (ex. >>318692 and >>190610). Drawn celebrity images are welcome. Also: the "in character" requirement does not apply if the celebrity has less than 60 pics.
16. Do not post misleading, malicious, and/or advertisement links (including referral linking). This includes adf.ly. Friends of Paheal may advertise when they are open for commissions or similar.
17. Avoid posting thumbnail images unless we have very few images of that character (less than 60 pics).
18. Do not post images with original / fan characters only. If they are paired with real characters, that's okay. In either case, do not tag such characters.
19. Do not erase an artist's name/mark and replace it with your own. That is the worst form of "art theft" and will result in a permanent ban.
20. Ban evasion will result in a permanent ban. If you have been banned, do not try to access the site until the ban has expired. If you believe the ban was incorrectly applied, and you are not guilty of the offense, send an email to plead your case and try to get the ban lifted. If you access the site in any way while the ban is in effect, such as using a computer at a different location, this is considered ban evasion and is itself an offense. You may wind up turning your temporary ban into a permanent ban, including deletion of your account. Just wait it out.
21. Impersonating a staff member will result in a permanent ban. This includes using a nearly exact copy of a staff member's username.
22. Do not upload images with watermarks of commercial sites that do not hold the rights to images (eg. Aerisdies, Rule 34.com, Free-Famous-Toons, Ecchi.me, cfake, Hentaimate, HentaiZA, 8muses.com, etc.) Watermarks of the copyright holders are fine (artists' names, artists' sites, etc.) and in fact are encouraged when unobtrusive. Sites that commission art or produce their own works are fine as well.
23.All comics over 6 pages/images should be uploaded to rule34c.paheal.net. Please do not report more than one page of a comic, unless the pages are spread out and hard to find. Partial comics can be reported for deletion if the complete comic is already on rule34c, even if there are six pages or less. Comic covers can be posted by themselves if they have porn, though the comments should say that the actual comic is on 34c.
24. Do not create multiple accounts. When we find them, we usually delete them with no warning. For deleted accounts, votes will be removed, comments/uploads will be deleted or reassigned to anonymous. Creating still more accounts after such an administrative action may result in your original account being deleted as well, plus a permanent ban. If you forget your password, don't create another account. Email us to get your password reset. (For this reason, everyone should set an email address on their account, so we can verify who you are.)
25. Do not add or remove the "featured_image" tag. Only admins are allowed to do either. (It doesn't actually make a pic the featured image anyway, as it's just a tag. There is a separate mod-only operation for that.)
26. Do not remove tags unless they aren't tags Paheal normally uses or they don't apply to the image in question. Some people seem to do this on pics that they think should be deleted. Which is stupid, because the tags will go away with the pic, and if we reject the deletion, we have to restore them. "tagme" stays until character and series have been tagged, and may stay if artist is not tagged but probably could be. Deliberately breaking this rule may get you banned. Do not remove valid sources either. Be aware that tag and source changes show up in the logs, so we know who does them. The punishment for source and tag vandalism is harsher than for most offenses, even the first time. Don't do it.
27. Do not invent new tags that no other image has (except for character, series, or artist tags we previously had zero images from) without consulting the admins (they'll probably say no). This means most tags that other image repositories would consider "content tags" are not allowed.
28. Do not pretend to be multiple people (known as samefagging). For instance, to agree with yourself about something, argue with yourself, praise yourself, or vouch for yourself. Absolutely don't samefag with named accounts, especially since multiple accounts are themselves forbidden.
29. Do not upload pics from artists/sites on the Do Not Post (DNP) list, with the following exceptions: some artists/sites allow free pics to be uploaded while prohibiting other pics they are charging for. The pics themselves typically say which type they are (for instance "promo" or similar). See the specific entry for the artist/site.
30. Don't upload a non-porn pic altered to be pseudo-porn by editing in a dick, pussy, cum, tits, etc. unless the quality of the edited part is comparable to that of the original pic or we have less than 60 pics of the character or fandom. Sex parts from a photograph are not considered to be of comparable quality to a drawing, or vice versa. All of this also applies to altering a generic porn pic to be pseudo-34 by editing in the face of an established character or celebrity.
31. If your upload is rejected, do not try to get around the block by changing the size/resolution/compression/etc of the pic and trying the upload again. That is deliberately creating a duplicate. Let it go and find new pics to upload. If not a dupe, and you think it shouldn't have been banned, the proper procedure is to email and present your case for having it unblocked. In addition to the image hash and block message, you will need to attach a copy of the pic in question, or provide a link to it.
32. Indiscriminate or excessive harassment of a person who has not earned it may be punished at the admins' discretion, especially if the person is an artist. That said, our definition of excessive is much less strict than most sites. Definitely forbidden is the posting of information that could harm or locate a person in real life, such as phone numbers.
33. Don't upload screen captures or photographs of source material (such as photos or nude scenes taken of a celebrity in the flesh) or other official art unless we have less than 60 pics of it.
