Bans

This list does not include every possible reason for a ban. Any kind of rule breaking can potentially lead to a full, permanent ban.

Types

Type	Blocked Abilities	Reasons / Notes
Tagging	Adding or voting tags up or down on any other users' galleries (or all galleries if the abuse is severe).	Adding incorrect tags or voting incorrectly. Frequently due to not reading a tag's definition or not abiding by the presence rule. Users whose accuracy falls below 90% are very likely to be banned. 100% accuracy does not prevent bans; metric abuses are more likely to result in a harsher ban.
Tag Creation	Creating new temp tags. Users with this ban are required to visit this thread should they wish to create artist, group, cosplayer, parody, or character tags in the future.	Repeatedly creating an entry on the tag approval tracker without submitting any relevant supporting materials, and ignoring revision requests. Attempts to create invalid tags may also lead to this ban.
Expunging	Filing or voting on expunge/appeal petitions.	Incorrect attempts at expunging galleries. Attempting to appeal correct expunges.
Renaming	Filing or voting up rename petitions.	Providing incorrect information or making excessive non-important changes.
Commenting	Adding comments or voting them up or down on galleries by others (or all galleries if the abuse is severe).	Violation of the comment rules. Adding and voting are separate bans.
Gallery Upload	Uploading new galleries to the system.	Temporary: Multiple galleries expunged for any reason except for replacement in a short period of time. This is usually granted automatically. Permanent: After the temporary ban, more galleries expunged for any reason except for replacement. Uploading a gallery with malicious intent may also trigger a permanent ban.
Files Removal	Removing files via a gallery update. The system will force a new gallery if any files are removed.	Attempting to remove valid content from one's uploads.
Gallery Update	Modifying the content of non-aged galleries published before a specified time in any way.	Having a history of sabotaging own existing uploads, attempting to circumvent the expunge system, or received a manually placed upload ban in the past. Continued abuse of the gallery system is likely to invoke a full permanent upload ban.
Private Upload	Uploading private galleries when possessing a bronze star or above.	Repeatedly abusing this function to publicly share content that are not allowed on the site.
Language Selection	Defining the primary language of their own gallery via the gallery upload UI. Users may still add the corresponding language tag(s) manually.	Declaring the wrong language and/or translation status (official/textless, translated, rewrite) for their own galleries.
AI Generated Flags	Omitting the [AI Generated] title indicator (and consequently, the tag), as well as setting any category outside of Misc on all future uploads.	Uploading multiple AI Generated galleries without properly declaring them as such in the uploader-provided title, or uploading them outside of the Misc category.
EHTracker	Adding torrents to galleries.	Spamming malicious or irrelevant torrents.
Bounties	Posting or claiming bounties.	Claiming and posting have separate bans.
HentaiVerse	Accessing the HentaiVerse.	Any botting or exploitation of the game. Very likely to be followed by a complete account ban.
Forum	Posting in the forums or accessing them.	Breaking any Forum Rules on the forums.
IRC	Accessing the IRC channel.	Breaking any Forum Rules on the IRC channel.
EHWiki	Editing this wiki.	Spamming or vandalizing any wiki articles.
Private Messaging	Sending PMs via the E-Hentai forums.	Almost always due to a major site rule violation (see below). Very likely to be followed by a complete account ban.
Total	All of the above as well as access to favorites, tag, karma, and credit history, My Home (besides My Settings), Bounties, Gallery Manager, and Archives.	Major site rule violation, notable examples including but not limited to: Possessing multiple active accounts Spamming malicious ads, links, or content Harassing and doxing other users Cheating in the HentaiVerse minigame Repeated lesser transgressions may also get a full ban at the administrator's discretion.

No one is immune. Even donors can be banned (as of 2026-03, 12 Catgirls and 116 Gold Star or higher users have received a total ban).
