News - May 23, 2013 (2 days ago)

Hey guys, regardless of what you may have seen proposed in the News recently, our Tag What You See rule is still unchanged from this here. Remember, the only recent change was to allow using external information for tagging character NAMES only, NOT gender or virtually anything else. PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE RULE! Thanks! :)

I like the new look of the main page with the blacklisted items removed and a full page full of artwork. Looks great!

When is the same treatment going to be done to the comments page? I'd rather see a comment page sans blacklisted posts so that I can post comments on the artwork I only want to see. And not the page after page, after page of blacklisted art comment posts.

It ain't gonna happen Kerrija, the way I was able to increase the posts without major bandwidth increase is not applicable without text. And I ain't putting any blacklist stuff server side.

Its removal was due to a misunderstanding.

It will not be going back to the way it was, however the limit is being raised up to 15 comments per hour. Reasonable, but enough that people will be inclined not to spam.

(Unlimited anything is dangerous on a system this fast)


Agreed on the unlimited. As for the comments thing: So there's no chance that blacklisted images can't be culled from the comments page as well? damn.

Aurali is doing his/her job right, I'm sure. But s/he's a real ninja about it. Sneaky devil. I doubt I'd see them if they were standing right in front of me.

In other news, my feedback for this post is that so far, I really like how the new team has been administrating the site. Aaaand... well, that's all I have for now, actually.

If something is done right... you won't be sure anything has been done at all.

I have been very happy with the site and it's staff. I appreciate the humor and obvious care taken in managing E6. This site wouldn't even exist if (Varka?) hadn't taken the reins and for that I thank you.


I love all of you. <3

omg. Bruce Almighty quote. or quote reference. not sure if thats a direct quote, or just a reference to the actual quote due to forgetting the actual quote.

point is, Bruce Almighty reference ftw.


Could be a reference to the Futurama quote which was, I believe, a reference to the BA quote.

The site could use some kind of prompt or popup that appears when an image is posted with the tag "comic" that will let the user know it should be pooled with the rest of the images in the comic and how to do it.

There've been around 5 comics posted in the past few days that are still just sitting there with no pools.

Why don't you fix it instead of sitting around bitching about it.

What Riversyde said. But also, not all "comic" images have pools. Many may be one-off images that are in a comic format. Example: post #116030

Because I'm not going to sit on my ass all day fixing other people's shit. Maybe instead of being a cunt about it, you could consider the very simple suggestion I made that would educate noobies to pool their own shit and save the people that do have time to go around fixing shit from having to pool other people's comics.

Or, maybe, YOU could tell these "noobies" to pool their comics. It's all explained in here. http://e621.net/help/pools

It's a legitimate idea. it honestly is, but I don't think we have *any* basis for that kind of functionality. it would have to, probably, be written in from nothing basically. So it's not really as "simple" as it seems.

Part of the idea of a website like this is that users help. It can't ALL be the mods and admins. we can't do all the shit we need to do AND upload/tag EVERYTHING.... :(

So, the idea of you "fixing someone else's shit", especially when combined with a friendly note of "hey,I saw you uploaded a comic--Thanks! I enjoyed it. But I noticed you didn't pool it, so I pooled it for you... but in the future, you should pool your comics. You can see how here: http://e621.net/help/pools " adds a heck of a lot to the over all value of the website.

Most of our users come, browse, and fap. it's the few devoted uploaders, taggers, note makers, wiki editors etc that really make this site tick... :)

That said, the idea of, perhaps.. a note on the upload page of basic user's screen. we can remind them to try include a source, link to a tagging suggestions page, clarify the differnece between questionable, safe and explicit, and remind them to pool if needed.

Riversyde please try NOT being a dick to someone that's only trying to help. :| I imagine your attitude has thoroughly convinced him to not do anything for the site at all now.


I am so fucking in favor of the positive/neutral/negative scoring the Admins can give out now.

Yup, very nice to have the option of being able to simply inform someone about a rule or something without having to give them a negative record for it.

Why are we suddenly bending over backwards from artist's takedown requests.

All of a sudden, artists are coming out in droves to get their art removed, even after it was here for four fucking months!
If they wanted it off they should have said something then!

Don't turn this into a stupid Fchan.This website is going to shit, (along with the MLP, the RP and the flood of humans!)

Heed my appeal char, just deny them outright, no harm is being done, we are not redistributing their art for sale.

It's called legal matters. If you host someone's art, they request it taken down, and you don't, i'm pretty sure that's against the law. Also, Will tag subscriptions ever be re-enabled?

SUDDENLY? I've been removing artwork for artists that request its removal since the day I started as an admin on e621, 1 YEAR ago now. This is nothing that happened recently.

I promise you that well over half of the artists who request to have their art removed from the site NEVER WOULD HAVE DONE SO had someone simply ASKED them first before uploading their art. That has been the sole reason for many, many takedown requests. Artists just want you to ask.

That explains that. I thought I'd just fucked up how I did them. Cool.
