Reporting bad tagging
Found someone who is constantly removing valid tags, or adding invalid tags to images, or is constantly changing tags on the same image for no rhyme or reason?
If the tagging abuse is contained within a single image (or only a few images) report the image for the reason "Tagging Abuse" and explain what they're doing on the image. If they're doing that on more than one image be sure to link the other images in the reason as well.
If the tagging abuse is spread over many images report the user directly instead. To do so open the user's profile page and click "Report User". On the newly opening page give us as much information on what they're doing, and where, as you can so we can find the abuse.
Please note that it's also against the rules to upload images with less than 4 valid tags. If you find someone uploading something with less than 4 valid tags please report them!
Good things to report:
- someone repeatedly removing valid tags, or adding invalid tags
- different people repeatedly changing tag around on a single post (we call this a tag war)
- someone removing all tags from any image
- this is a very bad thing to do and worth reporting any time you see it
- someone using tags to insult or call out another person
- A user is not uploading their art with 4 valid tags or more
- A user is incorrectly setting the rating on an image
Things to not report:
- singular mistags
- if someone mistagged something once we generally handwave it, everyone makes mistakes sometimes after all
- typos
- eveyrone maks tyopes
- not tagging something
- not tagging something is not against the rules, only removing valid tags or adding the wrong tags is against the rules
