I fear i could get banned for posting things on another site that are not allowed on e621. Would posting something about major political figures or creepy comments on another site get me banned from e621?

Your fear was apparently not enough to stop you from holding up a neon sign saying "HEY, LOOK AT ME! INVESTIGATE ME!"

What do you mean?

Normally most rules only apply when using this website, but if you did anything illegal (whether in or outside of e621) you would be banned because of that.

Nobody is going to care when you post creepy comments or roleplayed outside of e621, but if you admitted to doing something illegal (e.g., "I'm underaged!") then people will care.

I'd guess it would if it in some way negatively affects e621. It would have to be very noticeable and troublesome. Otherwise, what happens offsite would be none of e621's business. Normal criticism and trash talk wouldn't be enough. Babbling excessively on about politics and being creepy happens all the time and, as long as it stays off e621 nor harms it in any way, I don't think the administration would care one way or another. Admissions to illegal stuff, however, could mean letting you here can harm the site, leaving banning as the safest option.

What do you mean?

He means the notion that those feeling guilt or shame would tend to indirectly out themselves because the source of their negative emotions is so much on their minds that they give Freudian slips revealing clues that they "did something" and provide enough probable cause for a little extra scrutiny even when there's nothing there.

There was one instance of a user getting banned for admitting to bestiality on Twitter, but I couldn't find any other similar instance while looking through the ban history. Realistically, the only off-site thing that's likely to get someone banned is revealing their age if they are underage.

The user you are talking about is randomsecretdoggo , and i made a thread about it then i got banned. I was banned because an administrator thought my account was the alternate account of that user. Thankfully that administrator unbanned me after i explained how i was not that user.
I think if i was an administrator i would have banned randomsecretdoggo too, i too at first thought that user admitted to bestiality.
Now that i think of it, maybe i am overreacting to something that happened to someone else.

Yeah, starting multiple threads about how the admins were just so mean to an animal-rapist might come across as overreacting, especially since you've already been banned for it already.

Here, maybe this will help you figure it out.

However, if you still are unable to comprehend how being a creep in some places might have social ramifications in other places, then consider leaving the site and never coming back.

Please.

That record has been scrubbed from their account already, even then they were banned because the admins suspected they were an alt account (which they were later exonerated from).

@electricitywolf was asking a legitimate question in regards to the rules, and I don't see the necessity for such an aggression for an answer.

I don't see the necessity of sticking up for a literal dogfucker for admitting he's a literal dogfucker but that doesn't seem to bother you for some reason.

He was sticking up for the guy initially mistaken for that villain, not the villain themselves.

If by other sites you mean other "booru" types, then I will point out not all of e621 rules/themes overlap with them.

I feel the need to stress, however, that being creepy/bringing up politics is a faux pas no matter where you go. Please don't do that.

the only thing I've seen transfer to e6 from outside behavior is illegal activity. You be an open belligerent about your horrendous behavior outside of e6 don't be surprised when it follows you back.

There's a few things that overlap: The "tagging guidelines" are straight from Danbooru, for one.

You won't be punished on e621 for bad tagging on Danbooru. You'll only be punished on e621 for bad tagging that occurs on e621 itself.

was that a joke?

You wont get banned on e621, for having a bad tagging reputation on danbooru. It's an unaffiliated website, and bad tagging isn't illegal.

cypress_cat said:

You can get problems for bad tagging. But it must be extremely terrible or repeatedly wrong. If you tag something wrong, get a flag for it, and you keep tagging it, you can get in trouble.

cypress_cat said:

No, E621 and Danbooru are completely different sites. If you tag good on e621 and bad on Danbooru, e621 won't punish you for being bad on Danbooru. That's no joke, and frankly I don't see why you would think it is.

The confusion is coming from, from my perspective, that I've never heard of any website basing a user reputation for how they tagged on another website. On Danbooru, if you tagged too badly/too frequently, you get warnings and then disciplined for repeatedly breaking the rules. (Which usually happens when a user keeps insisting that a certain tag qualifies for a situation despite people saying otherwise.) However, that stays on site.

I feel saying "e621 will only punish you for bad tagging on e621" is the equivalent of saying "The United States police force will only arrest you for jaywalking in the United States.": Very obvious, and I'm not sure why you brought it up.

If somebody says "The jaywalking penalties from the United States and United Kingdom overlap" it sounds like they're saying you will be punished in the other country, so yes, you would very reasonably and understandably point out that no, you won't. Yes, it's obvious to most people, but you never know when you come across the person who doesn't.

I mean, that's in essence what the topic is about.

All you have to do to avoid behavior from one site affecting your account on another site is to use different user names and not post the same life stories under both accounts. If the two sites are owned by the same corporation parent, then you'll need to use different email addresses and mess with your PC's metadata. If you think someone might try to actively dox you in the future, you'll need to change word usage patterns too.
