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.

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

MemberI did metion it in the description! Made by Pencilman, on the shared FA account Heartman98.
Maybe there's a thing you'd want me to add to make it clearer ? Didn't meant to claim it as if I was Heartman98 or anything, sorry if it feels this way xwx

MemberI didn't like this site, didn't want any of my art here.

MemberI can remove it if you wish, I might own this one art but you're still the creator, so it's in your right to tell me if you want me to remove it from this site

MemberI am not asking to remove, I just don't like this site in general. Too confusing.

Former Staff... what do you mean we took it down without you knowing?
You screamed as us through the takedowns form and asked to have the artwork deleted.

It seems your main issue was that we wouldn't let you delete comments under your artwork?
Which straight up just isn't something the site functionality allows. It also goes against the core principles of this site.
e621 acts as a content aggregator, not as a personal gallery.
Tags, translations, and the posts themselves are all crowd-sourced. Thousands of people post all kinds of artwork made by all sorts of artists every day.
The artists do not tightly control all conversations surrounding their work. We consider that to be a good thing.
If you do not want your artwork to be on e621 at all, you can request the avoid posting status.
If you wish to be the only one to upload your work to the site, we can accommodate that too.
But just going around complaining about how "this site is stupid" is just not very productive.

If those comments break site rules, you should report them, and we will take care of it.
1.1 Disruptive Behavior
1.2 Harassment, Doxxing, and Real-Life Threats
1.3 National, Racial, or Ethnic Hatred
1.4 Sexual Identity and Orientation
1.5 Refusal to Use Blacklist
1.6 Inappropriate Comments
1.7 Role-Play
1.8 Spamming
1.9 Advertising
But letting artists delete whichever comments they wish is definitely not a great idea.
