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!

Spectatre
MemberThe tagging on this post is disappointing

MemberDude, Fuzzamorous is knocking it out the park with these current animations. They are so damn good. Another to my favorites.

MemberGotta love how FuzzAmorous got a little pissy and added "go ahead and tag it then" in response to Spectatre. (i can only assume)
Even if everyone is encouraged to help a post be fully tagged, I'd imagine the uploader still should try to give it a good initial set of tags. Guess I'll pitch in, though. Otherwise I'm a hypocrite. Have some more tags for this glorious animation.

MemberThere is a tag history, and the initial set seem decent enough. Species is missing, that'd be my only complaint about the initial tag set.
Posts tend to be exhaustively tagged these days, but those are due to dedicated users adding them(and I am very thankful). It's unreasonable to expect uploaders to put in 20 or more tags when posting, though I wouldn't be surprised if some do anyway.
