Galleries
General Overview
The E-Hentai Gallery System is one of the core systems of the E-Hentai site, where users are able to contribute their own material in the form of one or more user galleries. A user can upload private and public galleries of hentai and anime-related content, which they can use on the E-Hentai Forums and other sites and forums in order to easily to maintain and share content with other people.
Sharing content can be done independently on the particular forums and sites on which a user wishes to do so. The system can generate BBCode and CSS-skinnable HTML for direct inclusion as external galleries, and can also host a customizable gallery for the user locally. All that is need for this is to register for an E-Hentai Forums Account.
Site Ads in the Gallery System
By default there are up to four ads of mixed type and content on the main page, and two when viewing a gallery. The locations of these ads are on the top and bottom of the page, and two on either side of the gallery search box, of which the top and bottom ads are persistent throughout the gallery system.
These ads can be disabled through gallery settings, for which a user must have a Silver Aura or the Hath Perk Ads-Be-Gone perk.
Rules of Engagement
Allowed Material
Users are allowed to:
- Post galleries featuring legally drawn characters of any kind, including anime-style drawings and American-style cartoons, both pornographic and non-pornographic. Alternative stuff is allowed, but please mark the gallery appropriately in the title and category.
- Post real high-quality cosplay and asian porn that complies with US law.
Prohibited Material
Users are NOT allowed to:
- Post any kind of material that contains or depicts people who are or appear to be underage (even if they are borderline), nor galleries that claim to contain this kind of content (using keywords like "lolita", "preteen", "incest", "lolicon" or derivatives, even if they do not contain this). This includes drawings and underage "models" who do not engage in actual sexual activity, as well as normal photos involving children. ANY KIND OF ILLICIT ACTIVITY INVOLVING CHILDREN WILL BE REPORTED ALONG WITH A FULL TRACE OF ALL YOUR ACTIVITY ON THIS SITE.
- To repeat, ANY KIND OF MATERIAL INVOLVING CHILDREN IS ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT PORNOGRAPHIC OR RISQUE IN NATURE, AND EVEN IF THEY CONTAIN NO NUDITY NOR POSES WITH SEXUAL IMPLICATIONS. JUST A SINGLE VIOLATION OF THIS RULE WILL CAUSE YOUR ACCOUNT TO BE PERMANENTLY BANNED, AND IF THE MATERIAL IS ILLICIT, YOUR DETAILS TO BE HANDED OVER TO THE GOVERNMENT OF YOUR JURISDICTION.
- Post any depictions of real people that can be considered "obscene" under US law. This includes extreme BDSM, bestiality, scat, and other stuff that is way "out there". [1]
- Post any kind of drawn or virtual material that violates the principles above. This explicitly includes, but is not limited to, computer-generated images ("rendered") and images created based on real people or pictures ("rotoscoped"). If it resembles or was obviously manufactured to resemble the real thing, this rule particularly applies.
- Computer-generated or "virtual" child pornography is just as prohibited as the real stuff. Uploading this type of images is a one-strike-and-you're-out infraction.
- Post material listed in our E-Hentai Prohibited Content and Artists thread.
- Post "mixed" real porn galleries, that is, collections of images that do not feature the same model(s). This is primarily due to the workload and difficulty of conclusively verifying the age of the people present in each picture.
- Post galleries of real people that do not fit under the Cosplay or Asian Porn categories.

As quoted from the Gallery Help page:
You agree that, upon uploading content to this site, the content you upload is either Public Domain, released under a Creative Commons-type license, or not copyrighted (i.e. it is within your rights to publish it here); or you own the copyright to the content and consent to it being fully published here; or you have a separate license from the copyright holder to make their content publicly available.

So be warned.
Copyright and Imaginary Property
As quoted from the Gallery Help page:
E-Hentai Galleries complies with applicable copyright law. Unfortunately, due to sheer volume it is impossible for us to verify the copyright status of every single gallery uploaded to our site. If you find that your copyright has been violated by one of our members, please report this using the Report Gallery button on the gallery in question, or email a list of links to the galleries in question to ehentai@gmail.com. Please make sure to include some proof that you are the copyright holder (your real name and website address where content may be found/purchased is usually sufficient), as well as a statement that the copyright on the content has not expired, and that the content has not been released under an irrevocable license (like Creative Commons) that would have allowed the content to be made freely available. You may send it to the specified email address in the form of a DMCA Takedown Notice if you wish, as it contains sufficient provisions. Normally we respond within the hour, but please allow six to twelve hours in case there is no qualified staff available to process your claim. Please note that using the report button or sending an email to us directly is faster than whining to our hosts. They are well informed of our takedown procedures, and they will simply forward the complaint to us with a day or two delay for their own processing. Please be aware that all copyright claims are made under perjury of law, and false claims may be prosecuted.
Content Categories
There are eleven categories that a user gallery can fall under. See Gallery Categories.
Subsystems of the E-Hentai Gallery System
User Overview and Control Panel
The User Overview and Control Panel is the primary location of information regarding a users activity on the E-Hentai User Galleries. Included are your visits and hits stats, GP conversion, settings, etc.
Public Gallery Moderation (Expunging)
Gallery Moderation (commonly referred to as expunging) allows users to petition for the removal of galleries from the front gallery page, primarily in regarding duplicate and inferior copies of already established galleries.
The Toplists
- Toplists
The E-Hentai Toplists are a set of listings that showcase users who contribute the most to the galleries in many ways. There are currently 7 toplists: individual galleries, uploaders, taggers, Hentai@Home participants, EHTracker seeders, cleanup participants, and rating and reviewing.
Gallery Manager
The Gallery Manager is the most important system of the User Galleries. It allows uses to upload and maintain their own galleries for public and private use. It also allows a user to categorize and sort their galleries using gallery folders.
The rules for when a gallery can be deleted have changed. The deletion limit has been removed, but you can no longer delete galleries that are published and older than three days (same as for making it private), unless the gallery has been expunged or is private.
The Bounty System
The Bounty System is designed to give users a direct incentive to help other users in finding doujinshi, manga, and other material that can be posted on the galleries or in other mediums.
The Doggie Bag System
The Doggie Bag system allows users of the site to download archived versions of a gallery for a fee, either in Credits or Gallery Points. This system is shared by both the user galleries and the main galleries.
Gallery Favorites
Gallery Favorites allow a user to save a large number of galleries to a list of favorites. These favorites are saved a user chosen category which is customizable by the user.
Gallery Rating System
The rating system of the user galleries allow users to rate their own galleries as well as others. A gallery's rating is viewable on the front page of the galleries as well as within the respective gallery.
Gallery Tagging
The tagging system allows users to indicate the content and other properties of a gallery such as its author, language, themes, characters, etc.
Quick Browse in the User Galleries
The Quick Browse system is a JavaScript based prefetching system that loads images of a gallery in the background, allowing faster gallery loading. This can be enabled through gallery settings, for which the user must have a Gold Aura or the Quick Browse Hath Perk.
Searching System
The search system of the site includes:
- Exclusion searching (adding a '-' to exclude keywords from a search) as well as exclusive searching (using quotations to allow forced string searches)
- Formal support for pattern matching using '_' and '?' to match any character in a keyword, as well as '*' and '%' to match any character sequence in a search string.
Example
comic*lo*4? would match everything with a title/tag starting with "comic" followed by any sequence of chars (including none) followed by "lo" followed by another any-char-sequence followed by a 4 and a wildcard (like 40, 41, 42 and so on) "comic rin" -2007 -2008 would match "comic rin" (but not permutations of this), that does not also contain 2007 or 2008 in the title or tag comic -"comic rin*2008" would match "comic", excluding everything titled/tagged as "comic rin" followed by any-char-sequence followed by 2008
Search by Hash
Users may also search via SHA-1 hashes.
Just enter the URL with the hash like this:
