Jan 7th: Small update to the Uploading Guidelines today: We now no longer allow paintovers of AI generated content. Or in other words AI generated content that has been edited to some degree by humans.
Dec 1st: If your account has been hit in the most recent ban wave of compromised accounts please reach out to us at management[at]e621.net and we'll help you get your account back.
If you've already contacted us give us a moment to get to you, though if it takes longer than a day for us to get back to you do feel free to reach out again!
Dec 2nd: If you got got and suddenly aren't able to see any of our exquisite selection of sausage and taco posts double check that Safe Mode is disabled in your account settings (Account -> Settings -> Safe mode [right above the blacklist text box]).
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberKind of a joke that this has to be rated explicit for those like 5 pixels there

Former StaffShock horror, on an image board anything remotely nsfw (which animal genitalia is) is explicit. e621 has to take an overabundance of caution to avoid getting sued for showing nsfw content to minors (yes the site as a whole is 18+ but there's still e926 & other sites to access e621 that may block explicit posts)
Sure it's natural and all, but that's how the world is.

MemberHow do you know their internal politics?

Former StaffI can make an educated guess? I run my own websites and navigating around explicit content and minors is a very touchy subject and an overabundance of caution is much better than getting sued

MemberFair enough. Don't know why someone didn't like my question though.
