it's weird that there's loads of these irrelevant posts getting approved. has the rules on humans changed and not been updated in the posting guidelines?

human only ≠ delete on sight, it means the image only has humans / creatures that appear to be humans. human_only posts can be approved if they are related to other posts that are relevant to the site, like a series of posts depicting a human turning into a werewolf, or are a part of a series of posts that are ultimately deemed relevant to e6, such as a comic with posts depicting werewolves in their human and/or anthro forms.

Ye, I'm not speaking in reference to transformation or comics. I mean content like these where it's approved but totally irrelevant.

EDIT: Looking through the last couple images, they're related to transformation in child posts I missed, oops.

In spite of your edit, every single one of these posts is part of a comic or TF sequence.

With regards to the number, human_only date:0000-01-01..2015-01-01 try to remember posts before 2015 are grandfathered in and should be excluded by definition.

I've posted a few comics with individual pages that only have humans, but they were approved because the bulk of the comic was content relevant to the site.

it's difficult to tell with posts that don't have a parent or sibling post to work off from, that's egg on my face for not being thorough.

for pools: there should be a search bar either above or below the image if it's apart of a pool, and clicking on the title of the pool should send you to the pool that the post is apart of

thank you for the explanation, i really appreciate that. i've been using the site for a little over a couple years but still don't fully understand all the different sorting systems yet. the guidance is very helpful.

https://e621.net/help/cheatsheet user:GetAGrip human artist_name human_only I guesss these are the two ways you can easily check for that? I meant to put in human, not human_only on that first search. XD If you sort it by date, your comic should be nearby in time to suspect post.

Annoyingly, not all comics are tagged, so you can't just search for User:GetAGrip comic and expect to always get the right results.

I posted a comic like this as well. Most of the pages had an anthro and a human, but there was one page with just the human, where the anthro had left the human alone for a while to consider his plight. That page was approved along with the other pages in the comic; it might have taken a day or two longer for the human-only page to get approved, but it did happen.

I suspect it really helps if you add them to the same pool. It should make it really obvious that the post is OK to approve.
