← Wiki Home – Flagging

If you are an artist or character owner wishing to have a post removed, do not flag it. Instead, submit a takedown request here. Ensure you follow all included instructions.

How To Flag Posts

1. Click "Flag" on the left side under "Options", just above the "Report" link.
2. Select the appropriate reason from the list. If you are reporting an inferior/duplicate post, make sure you add the correct post ID in the "Inferior of Post #" box.
3. Click "Submit".
4. Sit back and wait. An approver will handle the flag in due time. Be prepared to provide more information if asked.

Flag Reasons

• Does not meet the uploading guidelines

This post fails to meet the site's standards, be it for artistic worth, image quality, relevancy, or something else.
Keep in mind that your personal preferences have no bearing on this. If you find the content of a post objectionable, simply blacklist it.

• The artist of this post is on the avoid posting list

Certain artists have requested that their work is not to be published on this site, and were granted Do Not Post status.
Sometimes, that status comes with conditions rather than a blanket ban.

• Paysite, commercial, or subscription content

We do not host paysite or commercial that is under 2 years old.

• Trace of another artist's work

Images traced from other artists' artwork are not accepted on this site. Referencing from something is fine, but outright copying someone else's work is not.
Please, leave more information in the comments, or simply add the original artwork as the posts's parent if it's hosted on this site.

• Real-life pornography

Posts featuring real-life pornography are not acceptable on this site. No exceptions.
Note that images featuring non-erotic photographs are acceptable.

• File is either corrupted, broken, or otherwise does not work

Something about this post does not work quite right. This may be a broken video, or a corrupted image.
Either way, in order to avoid confusion, please explain the situation in the comments.

• Duplicate or inferior version of another post

A superior version of this post already exists on the site.
This may include images with better visual quality (larger, less compressed), but may also feature "fixed" versions, with visual mistakes accounted for by the artist.
Note that edits and alternate versions do not fall under this category.

If the issue does not fall under one of the above categories, then it is likely not a valid reason to flag the post. Consider reporting the post instead for issues such as tag vandalism or description abuse.

Please Note

• Things you flag, even with with a valid reason, will not always be removed.
• If a post has been flagged for deletion or even deleted, do not strip its tags. This is never acceptable, and is tag vandalism, which result in disciplinary action.
• Do not flag images for deletion for an unfitting reason! If the reason you want something deleted for is not on the list then DO NOT flag it!

Use your blacklist if you do not want to see certain types of content

Lastly, as a courtesy to the mods and other users around you, please use the parenting system to link variants/duplicate posts together. The proper technique is to parent the image you are flagging for deletion if there is already a better or inferior version of the post on site. We ask this because if the image you flagged gets deleted, then one, it's easier to access the better version if someone was already looking at the deleted version; and two, everyone who added the version that got deleted to their favorites list is automatically transferred to the the newer version so it stays in their favorites list. More information on how to do this can be found here.
