April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberWhat happened to all of guoh's stuff?
dragondongers
Memberthey were on the avoid posting list so all of their work got mass deleted
I'm actually running into some problems uploading work that was deleted already. i'm guessing they have the same hash and e6 doesnt want dupe posts.

MemberThanks for working on it. So how were you able to post this, then?

MemberThanks for helping, guoh is an amazing artist, and I'd hate to see them excluded here.

Memberif you have problems with the hash just go on paint and add an off white pixel to one of the corners. unless that breaks a rule, you should be good to upload.

MemberEther this wasn't posted before or the hash is different.
I posted another guoh image that was definitely posted before, the freya crescent one, so some how that hash was different.
When i get some free time ill make a forum post asking how to deal with problems like this.

MemberGreat news that he's reversed his decision! :D
No need to worry about all this stuff - The admins here probably just haven't gotten around to reversing the DNP takedown (https://e621.net/takedown/show/6515) quite yet.
As soon as they do, all the old posts (which you can see here] will be automatically restored with no need to re-post them. Don't try to bypass the hash detection because then your posts will need to be deleted as dupes when the originals are restored.
