Slave tags.

Slave tags.

Variables

Cirle

Name of the circle that published the manga.

Convention ^[contested]

Popular conventions like Comiket and Reitaisai are where many doujinshi are released. For these two, the tagging standard would be c# and reitaisai #, # denoting exactly at which convention the release took place.

Mangaka

Names of the artists who drew parts or all of the manga. Note that these names are often pseudonyms, but credited in the manga.

Original series

Names of the series that appear or are being parodied. Parodies should be obvious and relevant. For instance a cosplayer cosplaying a certain character.

Participant

Names of characters or people participating in the gallery. Note that only female characters apply unless the gallery contains males participating in yaoi or that become genderbent. Character names are preferred in full and in their western order (given name(s) followed by family name; e.g. hinata hyuga). Spelling is best checked for on Wikipedia but there are exceptions.

Note that the title is not something to be tagged unless it is otherwise an already appropriate tag (e.g. if the title also happens to be the name of a participant, the original series, or the artist's name).

Bad tags

Note: This list does not include all bad tags, but some examples that help people get the general idea.

Language

Japanese

It is expected.

Content/fetishes

gay

While it can be used for real porn, stick to yaoi for manga.

lesbian

Same as above, stick to yuri for manga.

microphone

No one cares. It's not a common fetish, and when used it is likely that it has no sexual connection to the gallery.

nymphomaniac

It is expected.

sex

It is expected.

skirt

Such common cloth items aren't useful for searches.

vaginal

It is expected.

Gallery descriptors

censored

It is expected.

comiket

Use the variable c# instead. Comiket alone is not a good search term.

hot

A personal opinion, not descriptive.

garbage

See above.

Categories

(See here)

Category tags should only be used to change an improperly categorized gallery. Once it receives 100 power the category will switch to the given tag. If two tags are present (which there should be no need for) the one with the higher power will be used.

Variables

Year

The release year alone isn't needed. It might be paired with the name of a monthly publication, but on its own it is completely useless.

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. Scoring works like this: 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).

Known 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 the search results for one tag can include galleries containing the larger tags' grouped tags. Thus, in order to search for just galleries that use the shorter tag one must use an exclusionary search command.

For example, to find just rape galleries one must use a search phrase such as "rape -group".

Instances of this include:

• rape searches will include gangrape which is part of the group tag group.
• mother searches will include smother which is part of the asphyxiation tag group.
• guro searches will include ganguro which is part of the dark skin tag group.
