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!

PrivilegedI wonder why the parent has a higher score than the colored version?

MemberBecause child posts don't show up on the main post page. That's why the <u>more</u> finished version is <i>supposed</i> to be the parent.

PrivilegedUsually, the first picture in the series is the parent. You have to start from somewhere. You usually don't just take a finished image, make a sketch of it, and label that as the parent. The parent comes first, then the child.

MemberNot following your logic here. Real-world facts relevant to the standard use of the word aren't exactly the point. And something that can be described as a series isn't even something that's supposed to use the parent/child post mechanic... Nor do I see what the post date has to do with anything.

MemberHe's saying that the other one is the parent because it came first. Therefore, the other one gave way to this picture. Parent unto child. Makes obvious sense.

MemberBut I'm saying what does that have to do with anything? Considering the whole mechanic about child posts being hidden in the main post list... Automatically picking the first one uploaded as the parent guarantees that the rest of the posts will be missed by anyone not specifically looking for them.
Really, my entire opinion is basically summed up in my first post... The parent post is the one which shows up in the cases where only one does, therefore logically the parent post should be the most complete (or 'authentic' in the case of 'shops) image.
