Gallery Tagging

Usage Guidelines

• In general, do not tag something unless it has a fair amount of presence in a gallery.
  • For example: 10+ out of 80 images would be sufficient for tagging, especially if they are sequential. Anything found in only 1-2 images should almost never be tagged.
    • The exceptions to this are: bestiality, guro, incest, lolicon, scat, shotacon, and toddlercon.

• Tags are alphanumeric and only allow for spaces, periods, and hyphens. Tags must be at least 3 characters long (3d is an exception). Thus, certain things cannot be tagged in the same manner in which they are normally written (e.g. Creator Tags).

• Tags like futanari and yuri do not go together; they can only be tagged if they occur separately. e.g. Two girls having sex for a few pages followed by futanari having sex with a female for a few pages.

• Most costume/clothing tags only apply if they are kept on (at least partially) during sexual activities. If they are absent or removed beforehand, they should not be tagged. Non-pornographic galleries are an exception.

• Any context-sensitive tags (usually dialogue-based rather than visual) should be fairly obvious to a casual reader. These include cheating, netorare, prostitution, teacher, etc. If you are not sure that these are present in the gallery do not tag them.

Good Tags

Language

Any language except Japanese.

Should be tagged in their English equivalent (e.g. Spanish not Espanol).

Content/Descriptors/Fetishes

(See Category:Tag)

Variables

Circle

Name of the circle(s) that published the manga.

Mangaka

Name(s) of the artist(s) who drew major parts or all of the manga. Often pseudonyms credited in the manga. Note that the names of writers (if they were credited solely as writers) are NOT to be added.

Original series

Names of the series that appear or are being parodied. Parodies should be obvious and relevant. For instance a cosplayer cosplaying as a certain character. Should be as specific as possible (e.g. "dragon quest v", not "dragon quest") if the sub-series is different from the main one. Note that this is NOT needed on the series' actual manga.

Participant

Names of character(s) or people (such as the character that a cosplayer is cosplaying as) participating in the gallery. Note that only female characters apply unless there are males participating in yaoi or that become genderbent. Original characters (non-parodies) that do not exist outside of their own works should not be tagged. Non-H works may only have the most focused character(s) be tagged.

Character names are preferred in full and in their western order (given name(s) followed by family name; e.g. hinata hyuga). There are rare exceptions and cases still being decided. See Character Tags.

Know The Difference

Bestiality - Known animal or creature of lore with no human qualities having sex with a non-animal.
Furry - Anthropomorphic. Has human qualities mixed with those of an animal or creature of lore.
Monster - Does not closely resemble any known animal. Also any creature of lore that is non-organic.

Futanari - Penis with a vagina still present (may not be visible).
Shemale - Penis and testicles present, no vagina present.

Big Breasts - At least roughly the size of the character's head.
Huge Breasts - Twice the size of the character's head or larger.

Cheating - Someone having sex with someone other than their spouse without their knowledge. Usually a wife with someone other than her husband.
Netorare - The husband / spouse is aware of the infidelity. Also acceptable for when the story attempts to sympathize with the spouse if he doesn't know.

Breast Feeding - Breasts are sucked on directly by a mouth. Milk may or may not be present. Often occurs with infants and their mothers.
Lactation - Breasts secrete or squirt milk on their own or with little effort.
Milking - Breasts are actively being pulled in some way (machine pumping, methodical tugging, etc.) to induce lactation.

Corruption - Removing someone's purity of character and changing their personality to a more deviant one. May or may not be sexual. May be permanent or undone during the storyline.
Mind Break - Conditioning someone to enjoy sexual activities against that person's will. Usually implied to be permanent. Often paired with the ahegao tag.
Mind Control - Hypnosis or other techniques are used to take advantage of someone sexually by suppressing their will. May alter the victim's active personality although it is not their real one. Generally temporary in nature.
Possession - An individual's body is directly controlled, having their mind suppressed by an outside entity. Typically done by a ghost or spirit.

Pantyhose - Covers the genital area as well as the legs.
Stockings - Covers the legs up to around the knee area.

Inflation - The stomach area is expanded artificially via air, cum, slime, tentacles, or other liquids. Sometimes caused by an enema. Often leads to a round (possibly balloon-like) belly with an appearance similar to being pregnant.
Pregnant - Expansion via fetus or eggs being inside the stomach area. Sometimes leads to the birth tag if a live creature is involved.
Stomach Deformation - Part of stomach area appears to bulge, bend, or stretch unusually. Very often caused by a big penis, large insertions, or tentacles.
Weight Gain - Expansion occurs naturally (although perhaps at an extraordinary metabolic rate) via food. Often leads to folds of fat forming and incurring the bbw tag.

Bodysuit - Covers the arms and legs in addition to the torso.
Latex - Used in bdsm, usually dark in color and includes a mask or gag.
Leotard - Used for gymnastics and wrestling.
Swimsuit - Used for swimming or repelling water.
Tights - Used primarily by superheroes and are very colorful. Usually include a cape.

Bad Tags

Note: These are merely examples, not a complete list.

Bad Languages

Japanese

It is expected.

Bad Content/Fetishes

areola, ass, nipples, shaved

Not descriptive enough.

Eye colors

No one cares.

Hair colors / styles

See above.

kissing

Too common and not considered sexual in and of itself.

Locations

Most locations that have little or no impact on the story or the eroticism.

long hair, skirt, upskirt

Far too common to point out.

microphone

Has no sexual connection to the gallery.

nice tits

A personal opinion, not descriptive.

nymphomaniac, semen, sex, straight, vaginal

These are expected.

Bad Gallery Descriptors

adult comic, censored

These are expected.

cute, extreme, funny, gross, hot, garbage, not bad, sad, scary, terrible, ugly, weird

A personal opinion, not descriptive.

need translation

Requests should be made on the forums, not via tags.

softcore

Far too common to point out.

Categories

Category tags should only be used to change an improperly categorized gallery. Once it receives 100 power the category will switch to that of the tag. If two tags are present (in which case 1 is incorrect and should be downvoted) the one with the higher power will be used. Please do not vote on these tags after they have served their purpose of re-categorizing.

Bad Variables

Convention

Can be in the gallery's name, but not as a tag.

Date

The month and year of publication can be in the gallery's name for magazine releases, but not as a tag.

Publishers

They do not produce the content. Rare exceptions apply if no other names that can be used to identify a work's creator.

Resolutions

This is technical and not helpful for searches.

Scanners

They do not produce the content.

Software

The tools with which the artist created the content are irrelevant.

Title

The title of a gallery is NOT something to be tagged unless it is otherwise an already appropriate tag. Manga titles are also not needed.

Translators

See "Scanners".

Websites

See "Publishers".

Writers

Not to be confused with the artist(s).

Year

See "Date".

Other

Do not:

• Use real porn fetish tags, such as hardcore, on drawn content galleries.
• Tag a person's nationality such as korean, these tags are for indicating languages only. Also do not use the names of countries for either of these purposes.
• Guess a character's name or use just their first name. There is a list that can assist you with names here.
• Use a language tag on an Image Set gallery unless a vast majority of it (75%+) contains text in that language.
• Tag ANY animal names on anything that is not in conjunction with the bestiality tag. This includes furry content.
• Tag mother on anything that is not in conjunction with the incest tag. This includes women giving birth, women who happen to have children, or for "milf"s.
• Vote up tags of a temporary nature past too much power (anything over 10 is satisfactory enough). These include incomplete, out of order, and category tags. This is because such tags can become no longer applicable if the gallery changes.
• Use negative tags like not futanari. If you disagree with a tag vote it down and post about it in the forums here.
• Use the cosplay tag when characters in drawn works are cosplaying as other characters. This tag is only for re-categorizing. Use the cosplaying tag instead.
• Combine tags (e.g. "furry yaoi"). Each tag should be separated by a comma. This also includes artist/circle names or character pairings (e.g. "naruto x hinata").
• Use catgirl, bunny girl, etc. for furries.

What are slave tags?

Slave tags are tags that have been grouped together under one dominating master tag. Searches for these tags will yield results from all tags within the same group. (e.g. searching for "dildo" will result in all galleries tagged with "sex toys")

Why Should I Tag?

It helps people find the things they are looking for in the galleries.

Tagging earns you points toward a toplist position and the rewards that come with it. You score 3 points for adding a new tag and 1 point for voting on a tag. Tags that are contained within the gallery's name also only give 1 point each. You can score for up to 5 tags on any one gallery. New tags are given priority for score. So if you added 3 tags and voted on 2 or more existing ones you would get 11 points (3 * 3 + 2 * 1).

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)

Tag Mod Power

Tagging, like many functions on E-Hentai, operate on users' mod power.

• Upvotes use mod power equal to that of the user; downvotes use half that.
• Tags only become visible on a gallery when they have at least 2 mod power.
• The Tag Flagging Hath Perk only works on tags with 5 or more mod power.
• Tags become searchable when they have at least 10 mod power. Note that this takes ~1-5 minutes to activate in the system.

Known Issues

Creator Names

Some artist/circle names are too short (less than 3 characters) or may have been grouped or blacklisted for various reasons. In these cases use "artist {name}" or "circle {name}". See Creator Tags for a partial list of these.

Longer String Issues

The search engine includes shorter strings in larger strings containing the term (e.g. "job" will give results including "blowjob" and "titjob"). Tags can also be grouped with other tags (titjob is part of the paizuri tag group). Thus search results for one tag can include galleries containing the larger tags' grouped tags.

Instances of this include:

Tag	Will Include	Tag Group(s)
rape	gangrape	group
mother	smother	asphyxiation
guro	ganguro	gyaru
monster	monster girl	monster girl
^ This also applies to demon, robot, and slime, etc.
pregnant	male pregnant	mpreg
avatar	avatar the last airbender	avatar the last airbender
inflation, expansion	breast inflation	breast expansion
mimi	nekomimi, inumimi, and kitsunemimi	catgirl, dog girl, and fox girl
slave	sex slave	mind break
chinese	chinese dress	chinese dress
insert	large insertions and urethra insertion	large insertions and urethra insertion
horse	horse dick	big penis
anal	anal beads	sex toys
nichijou	danshi koukousei no nichijou	danshi koukousei no nichijou
inazuma	inazuma eleven	inazuma eleven

Workarounds

In order to search for just galleries that use the shorter tag:

• Use an exclusionary search command. For example, to find just rape galleries use a search phrase such as "rape -group". For the reverse use "group -forced".
• Use a direct tag link (e.g. http://g.e-hentai.org/tag/rape/)
