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.

Tagging, Rating, and Sourcing Abuse
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 -.
This isn't the place to spam your DND RP requests. [1][2]
Role-Play
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.
Strikethrough tags were invalid or inapplicable and have been removed or changed. [Source] If you're going to copy/paste tags between posts, make sure to remove tags that are no longer valid.
