• Please note that these definitions are not all-inclusive, and are meant for a basic idea only.

Some basic tips

• Do: Show lighthearted appreciation of your favourite characters.
• Don't: Be creepy (Seen as explicit roleplaying on posts, explicit comments about characters in posts, going into too much detail about what you want to do with a character (I wish I was X, I wish X would do that to me, etc.)).

• Do: Engage in friendly discussion with other furry enthusiasts.
• Don't: Cause drama, insult/troll users, be annoying just for the sake of being annoying.

• Do: Discuss whether or not the tags on a post are relevant, and agree with the established guidelines for usage.
• Don't: Create tags in the comment section, without at least mentioning it in the forums. Having a set of tags that everyone agrees upon, especially concerning how and how not it's used, makes all the difference.

• Do: Leave (relative) insightful comments about a post; such as background information, additional sources/versions etc.
• Don't: 'Spam' the comment section with multiple replies on the same post in a row. In most cases, a single comment with multiple paragraphs/points is much more welcome and appreciated than half a dozen separate replies about various unrelated ideas.
• This includes pasting/typing the same word(s) multiple times in a row.
• As well as posting ASCII art.

• Do: Show fellow users who may not be familiar with e6AI the way things are usually done on the site, or point them to a source that can.
• Don't: Back-seat moderate (Acting like a moderator when you aren't, barking orders at moderators and other users as to what to do and how to behave).

In addition

• Don't post links to illegal/malicious material. These include torrents and siterips.
• Don't post links to paysite content that's being unlawfully redistributed. Furthermore, do not openly brag about saving DNP/commercial content or encourage others to do so. This reflects poorly on the site and community.
• Don't whine about pictures that you can avoid by using your blacklist. These include things like male/male, gore, scat, watersports (urine-play), diaper furs, castration, my little pony, nightmare fuel, etc. (For a more comprehensive & detailed listing, see e621:blacklisting suggestions).

And most importantly, try to keep your comments civil and relevant to the post at hand!

This way, everyone can enjoy looking at a post without having to worry about having to wade through unrelated, 'creepy', inflammatory and/or disruptive comments below.

DText

You can use DText functions in the comments. Some basic functions:

• Link to posts by using post #[insert post id here] (post #1234).
• Post image thumbnails in your comment by typing thumb #[insert post id here].
• Link to external urls using the format: "Some text here":https://e6ai.net (Some text here)
