Gallery Commenting

Galleries may be commented on by users, often to provide information or to indicate their likes and dislikes of the gallery's contents. The gallery's description is placed at the top of the comments section and cannot be voted on.

Properties

• Can use the following BBCode:
  • Bold, Underline, Strike-through, and Italic.
  • URL for forums or gallery links only.
• Can be freely edited at any time (see below for limits).
• Are listed in the order in which they were made.

Voting

Users may vote (and revote) on other users' comments. Votes and comments are subject to mod power and comments are hidden if they fall below -49. Users may not vote on comments if they have commented on the same gallery; existing votes will be removed upon making a comment.

Limits

• Users may make multiples comment in a gallery but multiple consecutive comments they will be automatically appended to each other.
• Comments may not be edited or deleted.
• Comments may not be searched (it is possible to use a third party search engine instead).

Hidden Comments

• Only the top 50 comments in a gallery are shown, all others are hidden.
• Comments become hidden if they reach -50 mod power.

Hidden comments can be made visible by adding "?hc=1" to the end of the URL or by clicking on "There is/are x more hidden comment - click to show" link at the bottom of the comments section.

Tips

• Comments should generally be humorous, insightful, or informative.
  • Examples: Listing artist names for images (especially for Anthologies), linking to more information about the content (such as the artist's website), posting where it is possible to purchase the content, etc.
• It is advisable to update comments if they become confusing / irrelevant (e.g. Pointing out images that are forbidden content but then the owner removes them).

Do Not

• Ask for translations, raws, decensoring, torrents, [re-]seeding of torrents, or additional images. Please contact the gallery's uploader directly or make a bounty depending on the request.
• Post about having added a torrent to the gallery; this is already listed on the gallery's information (top-right area).
• Intentionally abuse or harass other users for any reason.
• Make highly generic comments such as "I like this"; these are generally not helpful or unique to the gallery. More in-depth comments are much more appreciated.
• Make minor comments on nearly every gallery viewed. This can be seen as an attempt at "point whoring" for the toplist and may result in a ban.
• Post gibberish or irrelevant URLs. This may lead to a ban.
• Use the comments section for discussions; use the forums instead.
• Comment on any technical issues experienced; these are better handled on the forums.
• Encourage the upvoting of false tags (or the downvoting of valid tags), false expunges, or false renames in any way. This may result in a ban.

Navigation

At the end of a gallery's URL simply add #ulcomment to the end to go to the uploader's comment (aka the description) or #comments to go the comments section.

Rewards

Making and voting for comments (as well as having one's comments voted up), along with rating galleries, rewards points towards the Rating & Reviewing Toplist. There is a limit of 10 comment votes per day that award points. Users whose comments are upvoted receive points basically equal to the sum of the votes made on their comment (the user's base power does not count). Short comments receive no points even if they are upvoted.
