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.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

Former StaffFor your information, it most likely will fall short of attention if you put "Please add tags" in the description field. Instead, tag an image with the tag tagme. This way your post will show up to people looking for that tag (especially those with tagging projects and people who frequently look for the tag (like me)).
I didn't clear out your description field, since it's against the rules to change the field if it's not your own post or belonging to the artist, character owner or commissioner, so you will have to do that yourself.

Member... I did not know that. So thanks I guess?

Former StaffIt's not against the rules to alter descriptions, but you shouldn't remove descriptions that have a purpose. If someone uploaded something with "lol dickballs" in the description I'd probably clear that out.
Hudson
Former StaffI would like to address you on the fact that it is against the rules, for your understanding only. I'm not intending to backseat moderate here. I just want to correct you on the manner to avoid any misunderstanding.
Citing from the code of conduct:

MemberAs one who is a swarn enemy of laziness, the (tagme) post is a sign of no care for the art. Just tag four or five at least. Adding in the obvious will at least show worth in the image.
I don't mind adding in tags, though downvotes are deserved for lazy tagging.
Blind Guardian
Former StaffHuh, TIL. I don't really understand the reasoning behind it well but I guess it makes sense paired with the next line in the code of conduct. I'll have to give the rules a read over.

Membernotice the "to create information" part. the rule says nothing about removing unnecessary descriptions.
