Gallery Tagging

Usage guideline

In general, do not tag something unless it has a fair amount of presence in the gallery. As an example, if it exists in 8 or more images in an 80-image gallery, it would suffice for tagging. 2 or less images and it should not be tagged at all even in a small gallery.

An exception to this exists for tags like lolicon and scat which only require 1 applicable image to be present in the gallery regardless of the gallery's size. Such exceptions are noted as such below.

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

lesbian

While it can be used for real porn, stick to yuri for drawn content.

Locations

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

microphone

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 things 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.

cute

A personal opinion, not descriptive.

extreme

See above.

funny

See above.

hot

See above.

garbage

See above.

not bad

See above.

sad

See above.

scary

See above.

terrible

See above.

ugly

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 based on the tag. If two tags are present (which there should be no need for) the one with the higher power will be used. Do not vote on these tags after they have served their purpose of re-categorizing.

Variables

Publishers

Not to be confused with circles, they do not produce the material. Some exceptions apply if there is no other names that can be used to identify a work.

Writers

Not to be confused with the artist(s).

Scanners

Their names are not necessary, they do not produce the material.

Translators

See above.

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.

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 used specifically for languages only.
• Tag black and white as it is expected for many galleries. The only exception is for when it's referring to the creator's name. [1] [2] [3]
• Guess a character's name, there is a partial list that can assist you here.
• Use a language tag on an Image Set gallery unless a great majority of it (75%+) contains dialogue in that language.
• Tag animal names on furry galleries. For instance, dog on a gallery featuring dog furries. Unless an actual dog is involved sexually (and thus the bestiality tag applies) only the furry tag is needed.
• Vote up tags of a temporary nature past too much power (anything over 10 is satisfactory enough). These include incomplete, out of order, and ongoing. Should the tag become no longer applicable (e.g. the user completes the comic), the tag must be voted down.
• Use tags like not futanari. If you disagree with a tag vote it down and post in the forums [here].

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

This also applies to demon.

• pregnant will include male pregnant which is part of the mpreg tag group.
• avatar will include avatar the last airbender.
• inflation will include breast inflation which is part of the breast expansion tag group.

This also applies to expansion.

• mimi will include nekomimi which is part of the catgirl tag group.

Results will also include others like dog girl and fox girl.

• slave will include sex slave which is part of the mind break tag group.
• chinese will include chinese dress.
