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!

JanitorI'm certain there's many who would appreciate that instead of waiting patiently for the upload counter to get back up, you could at least try tagging artists and sourcing your posts.
Something like post #1632210 has artists signature *in plain text,* yet was tagged with no artists, not even unknown or anonymous.

MemberI don't know how, sorry :/ Gotta figure out how to do it cause its not as simple as just typing the name in the tag.

JanitorIf you have zero idea how to search for sources, then least you can do is tag unknown_artist, (if there's signature also unknown_artist_signature) and source_request. Also with chans you should see original filename next to chans post ID, so copy-pasting that will help immensily as those usually have artists account names, submission names, submission IDs and even epoch timestamps which will help immensily with searching, so copying that to description will help a lot.
Tagging really is that easy. If the artist already has stuff in here, then tag them regularly and it's automatically artist tag. If we don't have anything with that artist tag yet, then you can change the tags type from Tags on top panel or writing artist:<artistag> the first time you are tagging it. You can also search for if artist has multiple names from Artists on top panel. Even wrongly written down artist name is already far better from nothing at all.
Also do keep in mind that chans don't have same rules and guidelines we have, if they post leaked paid material and you post it here, you are the one getting record for posting the content.
