Tagging Rules
Subsection: deleting images
Rule34 has a dedicated "report image" button; use that to get admins' attention in a quick & easy way
If you're reporting a duplicate image, please link to the image it's a duplicate of (eg dupe of >>123). This should go right in the report reason box, though you can repeat it in a comment too.
Don't report dupes unless you are sure the pic is already on the site and you know that it isn't different in some way not visible from the thumbnail. Actually compare the two pics.
Note: if you report a pic by accident, there's no way to undo it. Just make another report immediately, saying that the first one wasn't intentional. Then we can just dismiss both reports without doing anything. Do the recall as soon after the mistake as you can, so that both reports appear together on the screen.
Valid reasons for reporting (place in reason box for report; don't leave it blank):
You can also use image report for missing tags, when the tags are locked. Or other cases where you need to communicate with the admins regarding a particular pic. But it had better be a good reason, not idle chatter.
Do not report things for deletion just because you don't like them. Report abuse is a bannable offense.
- When tagging please use underscores e.g. "Ace_Combat" or "Albert_Einstein" instead of spaces to separate words, this is very important to keep the tags and the categories organized.
- We tag by series (ex. Meme, Super_Mario_Bros, or Porkyman), character (ex. Pikachu, Wario, or Samus) and artist (ex. -8, fluffy, or Raylude) only. NOT by content (ex. Hentai, Anal, or Asian). Do not use any banned tags (unless it's a character or series name that was overlooked)
- Even when uploading an artists works it must still be 34 of an established character like ex. Solid_Snake.
- Don’t use any special characters in tags such as ¢ or ™.
- Images with a "tagme" tag are yet to be tagged or are unknown, if you have information on these images please tag them. Likewise if you do not know of a certain character or series that you are posting please tag them as tagme.
- DO NOT TAG BY CONTENT, I cannot stress this enough. Hopefully 2 rules will help get the message across.
- The "Source" field under the image should be filled with where the image came from, e.g. the artists gallery/site.
- Do not tag your own name on images unless you are the artist.
- Tag vandalism will not be tolerated, do not change tags inappropriately or you may be banned for an unspecified amount of time.
- Please keep the "tagme" tag on the image until all series and characters are completely tagged.
- All pages of a comic should be uploaded together, including non-porn pages and the covers. We'd rather have the whole comic then just the porn pages.
- Rule 63 is a rule that states that every character has been drawn as the opposite sex, hermaphrodites (including futanari/dickgirls) and transvestites don't qualify for this rule so don't tag them as Rule_63.
- Don't use "producer" tags. These include nintendo, capcom, sega, SNK, disney, pixar, warner_brothers. An exception has been made for marvel and DC. These are allowed.
- Don't use multiple tags for the same character. For instance, don't tag both Bonnie_Rockwaller and Bonnie. If a character has two official names, such as Kitty_Pryde and Shadowcat, ask the admins to create an alias if there isn't one. That way you can search for either tag, but only one is actually displayed on pics. If a character has a special version with a different name, you can use the special tag if the special version is in the pic. In this case both names are tagged. For instance, Miss_Go is always Shego, but Shego is not always Miss_Go.
