March 15th: The 2024 Staff Drive is now open! We will be accepting applications until the 29th of March. Check out the forum post here.
Dec 31st: Due to the current legal situation in North Carolina and the uncertainty surrounding it, we will be blocking access to e621.net from North Carolina until we can consult with our legal counsel on this matter. We did not come to this decision lightly and we will do what we can, as we can, to rectify and remedy this situation so that we can restore access to those users that are affected by this matter. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and will have an update as soon as possible.
Sep 29th: We've just published some updates to the CoC, you can find and discuss the changes here and as usual the actual document is located here.
If you find the contents of the artwork objectionable, please use your blacklist instead of complaining in the comments. [Source]
Refusal to Use Blacklist
This site hosts a wide variety of content, and not all of it may appeal to everyone.
Do not complain about content that could be blacklisted. Simply add the corresponding tag to your blacklist. If you believe that a post is missing a valid tag, add the tag yourself.
Do not make messages announcing that you have blacklisted a specific tag or certain kinds of content.
Banned for permanent: Do not upload content that has been leaked or pirated from paysites such as Patreon. [Source]
Since you have blatantly ignored every warning and have continued to post pirated content, you are no longer welcome here.
Posting Abuse
Do not knowingly or repeatedly upload content that goes against the Uploading Guidelines.
Do not post works made by any of the artists or publishers on the Avoid Posting list or break any uploading conditions set there.
Do not post any commercial or pay-to-view content. "Free" pay-to-view content – where you are allowed to set the price to $0 if you so choose – cannot be posted unless 60 days have passed after it was made available for free.
Do not knowingly upload or share previously deleted content. If you wish to dispute a post's removal, contact the staff member responsible for the deletion via a private message.
Do not knowingly or repeatedly upload or share unauthorized edits of artwork after the original artist or character owner asked others not to.
Do not knowingly or repeatedly upload content made by minors or featuring characters created or owned by minors.
Do not upload content that was made when the artist was underage, even if they are of age now.
Do not upscale or otherwise manipulate images to artificially create a "better" version of an existing image.
Do not upload content that is associated with recent real-life tragedies.
Do not add any tags that are invalid, and do not remove tags that are valid.
Tags in the general category are considered valid if they follow the Tag What You See principle – that is, they must be describing what is visible in the post.
Tags in the lore category convey the artist's intentions or other background information.
Tags in other categories are valid if the information that they convey is objectively true, such as the artist's name or the image's aspect ratio.
Do not upload posts with fewer than ten general, non-implied tags.
This restriction will be eased if the post does not have ten distinct tags that are reasonably applicable to it.
Do not use tag or description edits to be disruptive.
Do not add any sources that are invalid, and do not remove any sources that are valid.
Valid sources are defined as web pages where the artwork can be found.
At least one source page should be publicly available, unless you are the artist, commissioner, or copyright owner of the artwork.
Do not use links to piracy sites as sources.
Links to the exact submission page where the artwork can be found should be prioritized. This is not the same as the direct image link, which isn’t helpful. Links to the artist's gallery pages should be added to their artist page.
Do not add source links that redirect to a different URL (eg. URL shorteners).
Dead links to pages where the artwork could be found in the past are still considered valid and should instead be disabled by prefixing them with -.

Age Restrictions
By using e621 and/or registering an account, you agree that you are at least eighteen years of age. No individual under the age of eighteen may register an account, use our services, provide any personal information to e621, or otherwise upload or transmit personal information through our services.
Even though laws may vary depending on your location, e621.net's management and service office is located in Arizona, USA, and it is those laws that we are required to abide by. We cannot knowingly allow any minors to view pornographic content, so we must be proactive in preventing underage access. This includes accounts that are either legally or illegally accessed by minors. Furthermore, we require official, government-issued photo identification as proof of you turning eighteen in order to release access to your account. Please email us at [email protected] for further details.
If you find the contents of the artwork objectionable, please use your blacklist instead of complaining in the comments. [Source]

Do not make messages announcing that you have blacklisted a specific tag or certain kinds of content.
Do not add any tags that are invalid, and do not remove tags that are valid.
Tags in the general category are considered valid if they follow the Tag What You See principle – that is, they must be describing what is visible in the post.
Tags in the lore category convey the artist's intentions or other background information.
Tags in other categories are valid if the information that they convey is objectively true, such as the artist's name or the image's aspect ratio.
Do not upload posts with fewer than ten general, non-implied tags.
This restriction will be eased if the post does not have ten distinct tags that are reasonably applicable to it.
Do not use tag or description edits to be disruptive.
Do not add any sources that are invalid, and do not remove any sources that are valid.
Valid sources are defined as web pages where the artwork can be found.
At least one source page should be publicly available, unless you are the artist, commissioner, or copyright owner of the artwork.
Do not use links to piracy sites as sources.
Links to the exact submission page where the artwork can be found should be prioritized. This is not the same as the direct image link, which isn’t helpful. Links to the artist's gallery pages should be added to their artist page.
Do not add source links that redirect to a different URL (eg. URL shorteners).
Dead links to pages where the artwork could be found in the past are still considered valid and should instead be disabled by prefixing them with -.
Do not initiate, encourage, or partake in public role-play sessions, either between users or by yourself.
Do not impersonate or partake in roleplay with either fictional or non-fictional characters.
Minor cases of role-playing may be excused if they are short, either humorous or otherwise non-disruptive, and are made in response to a situation or joke set up by the content of a post, or in similar context.
