Topic: [e621 Code of Conduct] Official changes, questions and answers

New CoC update: This time we added language that vote cheating is against the rules, specifically using more than account to vote on the same thing(s).

Abuse of Site Tools
Suggested Suspension Length: 7 days
This category includes:

  • Using any of the site tools, such as Flag for Deletion, ticket reporting system, takedowns, notes, or any other site tool in a fashion that can be construed as disruptive, spamming, or defamatory
  • Putting gibberish in any of the description fields
  • Repeatedly submitting invalid, incorrect, or unnecessary requests
  • Repeatedly submitting username change requests
  • Using any of the site tools to “backseat moderate”
  • Reporting forum posts, threads, comments, blips, or any other site media that is older than 6 months
  • Voting with multiple accounts on the same posts or comments

It should be noted that if a user reports a post, thread, comment, or any other site media that is older than 6 months, but contains a publicly visible malicious link, that they will be exempt from this rule

In addition, if a person who is submitting content wishes it for it to be removed, for any reason, within 48 hours, that request will be honored.

Circumventing a Suspension / Ban
Suggested Suspension Length: Permanent
This category includes:

  • Posting anything on another account
  • Having someone post on your behalf

If someone is found to have violated this rule, they may be banned with no appeal, regardless of previous disciplinary action
Alternate accounts are generally okay, so long as they are neither used to evade a suspension/ban, nor to abuse the vote tools

Please note that this is merely us writing this down, we have enforced this as general abuse of site tools for years now, but people keep thinking it's okay to make accounts to vote on things more than once.
