Helloooo.... I've lurked on here a time or two and decided to sign up for two reasons; the art and so I can put up art (and get constructive criticism and possibly commissions in the future). lol. Pretty simple, huh?

Welp. I signed up annnnnd have become completely overwhelmed with everything. What do? So many links and words- are you supposed to read those or something? I'm lost. Please halp? ._.;

I'd be really appreciative of some crash course in the ways of this site. Thank you for your kindness and patience in advance.

https://e621.net/help - lots of topics here
https://e621.net/help/cheatsheet - this page in particular will help you tremendously
https://e621.net/help/blacklist - how to PROPERLY use your blacklist, also see https://e621.net/wiki/show?title=help%3Ablacklist
https://e621.net/wiki/show?title=avoid_posting - don't post this stuff
https://e621.net/wiki/show?title=e621%3Atagging_checklist - some help with figuring out what to tag
https://e621.net/wiki/show?title=e621%3Afaq - lots of FAQs here
https://e621.net/wiki/show?title=help%3Ahome - actually just all of these links here are good information

It's a lot to read and learn, but e621 isn't a simple site. You can always feel free to ask questions here in the forum of course.

Thanks for taking the time to learn how to use the site instead of just trying to do your own thing. It's very much appreciated, trust me. :P

Edit: oh, and probably one of the most important rules on this site is the Tag What You See policy: https://e621.net/wiki/show?title=tag_what_you_see with an explanation of it here: https://e621.net/wiki/show?title=e621%3Atag_what_you_see_%28explained%29

Oh yes, lets overwhelm them more Char. Good job :P

Note: Just thought I had to the list of things not to do: Do not rp, do not make creepy comments on images, and dont misuse the flag for deletion system. As long as you remmeber that, I think you'll be fine.

Well they didn't specify any one particular thing that they're wanting to know more about, so I linked them to everything. :x It's all important information, and even spending just 30 minutes looking through some of it will help a lot.

I can give much more concise advice if there's a particular thing they're wanting to know more about.

Thank you guys! I really appreciate it. Even if it's a lot of information. Haha. That's more or less what I was wanting- to be pointed in the right direction. If I have further questions, I'm sure I'll ask. Thanks again guys~! :D

Yeah and if you want to ask me too message me

Actually, you can ask most of the users that are more active around here on the forums.
