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!

MemberThat blacklist option is great. Along with tags I don't like I think at this point I have blocks close to ninty artists who just seem to draw the exact same thing over and over, real "one trick ponies." I'm not going to name names though.

MemberI don't even use the blacklist. I mean yeah I'll see a bunch of weird stuff. But it's funny to comment on it.

MemberIf anything, I'm just glad that "blacklist by ID" is a thing here, just in case all else fails

Memberto be fair, this may result in some absolute gem gay stuff not reaching you.

MemberI personally like the combination blacklist tags. For me, I was tired and turned off from seeing MLP 3d futas everywhere, but there are occasionally some other MLP pics and comics that float by that I like, so that was perfect for me.

MemberPersonally, most of the stuff I would want to blacklist doesn't even phase me anymore.

JanitorI have seen people do this and then audibly complain on many channels how their blacklist isn't functioning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Another one is people complaining how they cannot blacklist without account and/or their account is banned, but it has been possible for years and years even without account.

AdminI'm looking too far into it.
women aliases to female so it would still work.
I could show you real blacklist formatting horror stories. I've seen some shit.

MemberThe most threatening people on this planet are in fact those who have no blacklist at all

MrSupplyDrop
MemberI mean tbf if you're gay you'll probably blacklist the female tag to just see males but I'm also probably thinking into the meme too much lol
sussybaka42
MemberThe blacklist doesn't work properly for me and I don't know why
It hides stuff like loli and scat just fine, but gore and death show up even when the blacklist says it should be hidden

BlockedI just don't wanna see the same 4chan anon self insert show up when looking for larger females. Plus violence makes me sad.

MemberI'm just too lazy to set that up

Memberthe gore tag appears to depend on the amount of blood present in the image, or the presence of injuries above bruises, scratches, scrapes, etc.

MemberThis is the reason I blacklist very little stuff, because there's some absolutely great stuff I would've missed simply because that content also existed in the pic. I'm not into vore or gore, for example, but I've seen some killer stuff (no pun intended) that got tagged with those. Sometimes stuff that really shouldn't, like a simple wound/cut/trickle of blood being tagged as gore.

MemberWhat really grinds my gears is the misapplication of tags, like for example the rape tag is applied to a lot of qcon and even straight up clearly consenting fun, and the three tags for vore in a specific hole are barely used despite the number of posts under the unspecified vore tag which need sorting.

Member"you can blacklist anything you find gross"
And there will be a lot of that.
