Tagging Mechanics

This is for more technical and advanced information about the tagging system.

What Are Slave Tags?

Slave tags are tags that have been grouped together under a single master tag. Tags may be grouped because they are misspellings or they are closely similar concepts, and the master will be the most correct spelling or a usefully abstracted term (for instance, sex toys is the master for the group that includes "dildo").

When a tag is slaved, current instances of that tag remain on galleries and searchable, and the master of that tag does not appear on those galleries until placed there by a user (which may be done simply by voting up the slaved tag).

Attempting to tag a slaved tag will automatically tag the master instead. Searching for a slaved tag will yield any results from that tag, as well as from its master. Searching for a master does NOT return results from any of its slaves.

Example: Searching for "dildo" will return any gallery tagged with "dildo" as well as all galleries tagged with sex toys.

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

Like many functions on E-Hentai, tagging operates on users' mod power.

• Upvotes use mod power equal to that of the user while downvotes use half of that.
• Certain tags cannot be voted on without a minimum amount of mod power. This is to prevent abuse/misuse by newer users.
  • Tags that have never been used before require 10+ mod power to be used for the first time.

Tags gain certain attributes if they reach specific amounts of mod power:

Mod Power	Effect on Tag
1+	The tag become visible on the gallery
5+	The Tag Flagging Hath Perk works on the tag
10+	The tag becomes searchable by default. Newer galleries take between 1-5 minutes while older ones can take up to 1 hour to register into the search system. To find tags with less mod power advanced search options are available
100+	A language tag designates the gallery as being in that language. This also applies to language status tag (translated or rewrite)

Known Issues

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
mother	smother (asphyxiation)
guro	ganguro (gyaru)
monster	monster girl
^ This also applies to demon, robot, slime, etc.
cat	catgirl, catboy
^ This also applies to dog, fox, wolf, etc.
spider	spider-man, spider-woman, spider girl, spider-girl
horse	horse dick (big penis)
avatar	avatar the last airbender
inflation, expansion	breast inflation (breast expansion)
mimi	nekomimi, inumimi, kitsunemimi (catgirl, dog girl, fox girl)
slave	sex slave (mind break)
chinese	chinese dress
insert	large insertions, foot insertion, urethra insertion
anal	anal beads (sex toys), anal play (fingering)
nichijou	danshi koukousei no nichijou
inazuma	inazuma eleven
corruption	corruption of champions
eggs	i my me strawberry eggs

Workarounds

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

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

Namespace

Namespaces indicate a tag's purpose, especially in cases of multiple uses. Some tags cannot be entered without an accompanying namespace; this is intentional. This occurs because the tag has no valid usage without one, e.g. a tag that is both a "character" and an "artist" but not a fetish. Please attempt to use the tag in conjunction with the correct namespace.

Limitations

• Once a user adds a tag to a gallery they may only add to a different gallery after 10 seconds
  • This limitation is reduced for users with over 25 mod power
• The field to add tags limits input to 200 characters
