Slave tags are tags that have been grouped together under a single master tag.

This is for more technical and advanced information about the tagging system.
Tag Colors
- Normal = White
- Upvoted = Green
- Downvoted = Red
- Slave = Gray (can only be downvoted)
- Downvoted slave = Dark red (cannot be undone)
- Upvoted slave = Dark green (cannot be redone)
What Are Slave Tags?
Slave tags are tags that have been grouped together under a single master tag. Tags may be grouped because they are misspellings or they are closely similar concepts, and the master will be the most correct spelling or a usefully abstracted term (for instance, sex toys is the master for the group that includes "dildo").
When a tag is slaved, current instances of that tag remain on galleries and searchable, and the master of that tag does not appear on those galleries until placed there by a user (which may be done simply by voting up the slaved tag).
Attempting to tag a slaved tag will automatically tag the master instead. Searching for a slaved tag will yield any results from that tag, as well as from its master. Searching for a master does NOT return results from any of its slaves.
Example: Searching for "dildo" will return any gallery tagged with "dildo" as well as all galleries tagged with sex toys.
Tag Mod Power
Like many functions on E-Hentai, tagging operates on users' mod power.
- Upvotes use mod power equal to that of the user while downvotes use half of that.
- Certain tags cannot be voted on without a minimum amount of mod power. This is to prevent abuse/misuse by newer users.
- Tags that have never been used before require 10+ mod power to be used for the first time.
Tags gain certain attributes if they reach specific amounts of mod power:
| Mod Power | Effect on Tag |
|---|---|
| 1+ | The tag become visible on the gallery |
| 5+ | The Tag Flagging Hath Perk works on the tag |
| 10+ | The tag becomes searchable by default. Newer galleries take between 1-5 minutes while older ones can take up to 1 hour to register into the search system. To find tags with less mod power advanced search options are available |
| 100+ | A language tag designates the gallery as being in that language. This also applies to language status tag (translated or rewrite) |
Known Issues
Longer String Issues
Searches for certain tags can return results from more tags than intended. This happens because of how the search engine works.
When matching search terms (quoted strings or space-delimited words) to tags, the search engine does not limit itself to whole, exact matches. Rather, for a given tag, the search engine will attempt a match on both the whole tag and individual words in the tag, and any match must start at the beginning of the tag or word. (Note that gallery title matches work differently.)
This means that a search for cat will match the cat, catgirl, human cattle, and many other tags, but it will not match scat or petrification. If a slave tag is matched, though, the connection may not always be so obvious. For instance, a search for anal may return a gallery that is not tagged with anything containing the word "anal"; it may only be tagged with sex toys. This happens because the search for anal matches both the anal and "anal beads" tags, and since "anal beads" is slaved to sex toys, the search results will include any galleries tagged with sex toys.
Instances of this issue include:
| Tag | Will Include |
|---|---|
| monster | monster girl |
| ^ This also applies to alien, demon, robot, slime, etc. | |
| cat | catgirl, catboy; human cattle |
| ^ This also applies to bunny, dog, fox, wolf, etc. | |
| spider | spider-man, spider-woman, spider girl, spider-girl, spider riders, etc. |
| horse | horse cock, wooden horse |
| avatar | avatar the last airbender |
| inflation, expansion | breast inflation (breast expansion) |
| chinese | chinese dress |
| insert | large insertions, foot insertion, urethra insertion |
| anal | anal beads (sex toys), anal play (fingering) |
| nichijou | danshi koukousei no nichijou |
| corruption | corruption of champions |
| eggs | i my me strawberry eggs |
| father | grand father (grandfather) |
| dragon | dragon ball, dragon quest, how to train your dragon, etc. |
Workarounds
There are three potential solutions to the longer string issue, each with their ups and downs.
Namespace
For some tags, the inclusion of a namespace along with the tag will heavily refine the search results. Of course, this is only possible for tags that have namespace pairings.
- E.g. searching artist:inazuma will avoid getting results that include inazuma eleven.
Tag Exclusion
To exclude galleries that match a longer, unintended tag, simply subtract that tag from the search.
- E.g. searching monster -"monster girl" to exclude galleries tagged with monster girl.
The disadvantage to this method is that it will also exclude any galleries that are tagged with both monster and monster girl. It also becomes prohibitive if there are many tags to exclude. The advantage to this approach is that you can still include other search terms and utilize the various search options.
Exact Tag
To get a list of all galleries tagged with a given tag, either...
- Find a gallery tagged monster (for example), click on the tag, and then click the "Show Tagged Galleries" link that appears.
- Or type the appropriate URL directly into the address bar (e.g., http://g.e-hentai.org/tag/monster/).
The disadvantage to this method is that this list is actually less a search and more an index. The search functions cannot be used and it is not possible to include another tag or tags in any way; clicking Apply Filter will abandon the list and start a normal search. Also, only galleries where the tag has at least 10 power show up on this list. On the other hand, every gallery in this list will have the exact, desired tag, and not some longer, unintended tag instead. This is uninfluenced even by slave or master tags.
Namespace
Namespaces indicate a tag's purpose. Some tags cannot be entered without an accompanying namespace; this is intentional. Any tag without a default namespace will request that the user enter one of the accepted namespaces already paired with the tag. Please attempt to use the tag in conjunction with the correct namespace. If there is a valid namespace not permitted for use post it here.
Limitations
- Once a user adds a tag to a gallery they may only add to a different gallery after 10 seconds
- This limitation is reduced for users with over 25 mod power
- The field to add tags limits input to 200 characters
