News: Jan 07, 2025 Show

Jan 7th: Small update to the Uploading Guidelines today: We now no longer allow paintovers of AI generated content. Or in other words AI generated content that has been edited to some degree by humans.

Dec 1st: If your account has been hit in the most recent ban wave of compromised accounts please reach out to us at management[at]e621.net and we'll help you get your account back.
If you've already contacted us give us a moment to get to you, though if it takes longer than a day for us to get back to you do feel free to reach out again!
Dec 2nd: If you got got and suddenly aren't able to see any of our exquisite selection of sausage and taco posts double check that Safe Mode is disabled in your account settings (Account -> Settings -> Safe mode [right above the blacklist text box]).

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

  • No hourly tag, wiki, or note edit limit
  • No hourly comment limit
  • Can apply tag scripts at the click of a button
  • Can use DText color tags

To become a privileged user, start helping out by uploading lots of good posts (with permission!), helping with tagging projects, reporting malicious users, updating the wiki, or adding note translations.
Being active and helpful on the forum and the Discord server, and being a positive role model for the community are especially good ways to get noticed.

Janitor

Janitors are the backbone of the site moderation. They are responsible for processing pending posts, handling flags, and dealing with replacements.

  • Can approve and delete posts
  • Can process flags
  • Can approve and reject replacements

These permissions are tied to the approve posts permission, which janitors will always have.

Moderator

Moderators are tasked with handling everyday community policing and enforcing the Code of Conduct.

  • Can claim and investigate tickets
  • Can give neutral and negative records to users
  • Can ban users


Admin

Admins keep the peace on e621. In addition to the duties of Moderators, they are in charge of everything else on the administrative side of e621. Admins are also the exclusive handlers of all tag aliases, implications, and bulk update requests.

  • Unlimited access to all site tools

When new admin positions open up, we will hand-pick users based on their area of expertise.
