Hello! :)

Welcome to e621 :D Thanks for joining our little community <3

I know it seems like a dumb rule, but it has it's purposes. :) Some people who have been banned, or feel slighted, or simply dislike our website for some reason have utterly abused our 'old' rules that allowed people to post almost immediately. Spam, illegal content, irrelevant images... and more. D: While nothing stops people from abusing us after a week, 7 days is enough for more people to 'forget' that they were going to "exact vengeance" or some such.

Just relax and you'll be able to post before you know it :)

I got an idea, why not make [honest] people like ChevronDaFox post immediately? Isn't there some admin action that let's you do such a thing?

What's the point of having rules if you're gonna make exceptions like that?

well its a pleasure to have you here mr. fox and I look forward to future post from you. ^_^

Oh and by the way dont take too much of the snyde remarks and harsh sarcasm to heart here, were all a pretty nice bunch one way or another... Just might take a bit to realise it with some lol!

Welcome to e6! ^___^

We can be prickly, but sometimes we'll warm up to you and be semi-nice.

Hi.

Actually no.
The reason the limitations are in place is to prevent troll users from abusing the site and the system. As I said above, a week of waiting is often enough to dissuade all but the most persistent.

There has been some standard in the past of allowing some artists to post immediately by upgrading their accounts... however, an upgraded account is also given to users as a reward for good behavior and contribution to the community. These upgraded accounts tends to allow privileges like unlimited posting, or unlimited tag edits. These are designed to help the most dedicated users to help out more so (as the 'standard' account's limitations are general suitable for the vast majority of our users.) In the wrong hands, those privileged could do massive amounts of damage. Thus, we tend to try and hand them out with great care.

We have had many artists ask for an upgraded account, only to upload art once and never use the website again... this is not beneficial to the site as a whole... Or in worse cases, have an upgraded account, be angered for some reason, and start defacing the website with their powers.

So we have been discussing our options, in hopes of finding a good alternative idea that keeps our website safe, while still giving artists the respect they deserve. It is not as high priority as some other tasks... as we feel that a week is honestly not too long to wait, in the grand scheme of things.

But, in short, AbsebaroKoon was actually trying to be helpful and support your case, suggesting we help you out sooner, rather then applying sarcasm. He probably didn't deserve that rather harsh set of words you flung at him. >:C

OP appears to be one of those people who act tough but are really hyper-sensitive.
My guess is he won't last long here.

my apologies then. I hail from the FA forums, where almost everyone is an ass or a troll. so I may be a little testy at first, give me a little time to figure things out here and I'll soften up to the appropriate degree.

AbsebaroKoon: my bad, I mistook your comment as trolling. the []'s threw me for a loop.

A lot of us around here can be blunt, even a bit rude.
That being said, actual trolls don't last long at all.

About as long as we find them amusing to make fun of.

I wish other forums were like that. unfortunately most just let them stay... :/

Generally speaking, we're very honest here. Sometimes this does result in assishness, but we do try to curtail the worst of that. people who incite drama, or troll are reprimanded, then punished. We have a number of ways to report users who are generally not being Good Users.

the 'wiki' link up at the top has a lot of interesting and enlightening information, including how to hide posts/people you don't like, as well as our rules, commenting guidelines and more... Our most reported broken rules are "don't be creepy" and "don't insult other users, intentionally start drama, or be an obnoxious troll" --feel free to report anyone you see violating those rules. We can't and won't always do something about reports we get, but every report is looked at, at the very least. :)

http://e621.net/user_record is another favorite page of mine. :D

you find an uploaded pic you want to use, then get the id # for it from the address bar, and enter it into your account settings page.

as long as it falls under standard posting guidelines, it should be fine. decent quality, at least 200x200, no obnoxious artifacts, etc

You're fine there then, this is an art site, not a porn site.
Porn just also counts as art.
Just ask the supreme court.

Assuming this is true, if you don't feel like waiting, you can send it to me and I'll upload it for you... but you've got 3 or 7out of the way :) and your avatar'll be retroactively applied everywhere when you add it :)

This thread makes me sick in the stomach.
I guess that's how people in a self-help group interact with each other.

why would it make you sick? all that happened was: a misunderstanding took place, which lead to a small argument, where I was found in the wrong, so I apologized. seems fine to me... /:-V

I admit to confusion as well. What would you have prefered have happened?

Also, don't whine if other users criticize (badly) or say your art is crap (I haven't seen your art yet, so I dunno) that's why the "Report", "Forums" and "Vote Up/Dn" are for ;D
In other words, don't get butthurt if other users mistag your posts, just tell a modmin*

Just a tip

*modmin = mod/admin

Perhaps a new type of user level could be installed in some shape or fashion?

I'm need of a White wolf with gaelic symbols on his haunches and chest. something anthro and wild looking, silver eyes. I hope you can find time to do something like this. Thanks if you can.
