I don't get how something with purple skin, and tagged a non-human species, gets taken down for being "Irrelevant to site. (Human only)". can someone explain the standards for this stuff?

Uploading Guidelines

Humans and e621:

Pure¹ humans are only allowed as long as they are part of an otherwise furry centric image. If a page, or an image, of an otherwise furry centric comic contains only humans then those pages will also be kept to keep the comic complete.

As such:

• Anything that does not contain anthropomorphic characters or animals as part of their focus will be deleted.
• If it appears like a human it counts as a human, regardless of what in-universe lore specifies.
• The things that make humans not-human under our rules are visible, anatomical deviations from the standard human.
• Examples are the presence of animal body parts (dog ears, cat tail, pig snout, horse penis, etc.), alien body parts, plant body parts, etc.
• This means that orcs, elves, plant-people, humanoid aliens, are all fine.
• A different skin color does not make a human relevant.
• Costumes, clothes, accessories, etc. do not make a human relevant.

_{¹ If any sort of non-human traits are present the character in question is no longer a pure human, but a humanoid for tagging purposes.}

Hmm I see, though you can't really see the "ears" clearly, so it's hard to tell if it classifies as human or humanoid. Especially since it's supposed to be a Anthropomorphic non-human. makes me wonder if it got deleted simply because it was tagged wrong...

Tagging does not influence the approval process, staff judges the images based only on what can be seen in them. The character in post #3356677 looks like a regular human with purple skin, which is not considered "relevant" to the site.

If they had (for example) humanoid_pointy_ears, they would be considered a humanoid and the post would have been approved. However, the ears have to be visible.

Do you got a functional source for that image?

I agree with gatto, it's not relevant to the site.

That's fair, it does look like a human dressed up.
