It is a pity that the tagging system of that site is currently less than mediocre, and it is doubtful if half the stuff that would have been on here have even made it onto there.

Since Gelbooru's creation it has been a Japanese-themed website. This fact has never changed. New written rules that further define this theme have been created, yes, but again: it further defines the theme. They are not arbitrary and are not an abuse of power.

So please, read the Terms of Service. gelbooru.com/tos.php


(Comment: this is to serve as a pre-written response to those accusations that we are "abusing our power" when we delete images for reasons such as "Not anime" or "Non-Japanese artist", etc. This also does not excuse actual mod abuse; if it should occur -- and please check the Terms of Service beforehand to make sure it just wasn't your misunderstanding -- please PM the admin Lozer.)

EDIT: The reason for the enforcement of the non-Japanese artists is because there were people claiming that "anime-style" makes it acceptable even when the art itself was vaguely "anime-style".

Read gelbooru.com/index.php?page=forum&s=view&id=653 before you make a response in this thrad. It'll save you heartache.



If I know a piece of art is made by a non-Japanese artist BUT it is VERY OBVIOUSLY anime style art (which obviously was pioneered in Japan) and NOT a pseudo-anime style (like the American cartoon Teen Titans) is it ok to post? Or does the ACTUAL ETHNICITY of the artist HAVE TO BE Japanese?

You see I'm a white man (who does not have one drop of Japanese blood in me from my ancestry) and I was born in the USA (not Japan), but I've been considering taking classes to learn how to draw anime/manga style artwork, so I could make this type of art and do it well so it would be indistinguishable from anime art made by actual Japanese people. If I ever do get this training and do make decent anime art, would I be allowed to post my own art here? Or would I be FOREVER excluded from posting my work here, just because I'm not Japanese?

Self-uploads aren't allowed either.

Are in-game cut scenes from anime games (aka CG graphics) allowed? I managed to dump a ton of graphics from this game I have and would like to upload.

They are if you're Japanese, we just don't particularly like the people who do it.

From the ToS:
Screen captures: Screen captures are not allowed unless given exception due to work in compiling said screen shot.


Screencaps generally aren't allowed unless it's a really good job of it, is what I get from that.

No screencaps. I have dumps. These are made with hacking software that rips images that normally are embedded in the game's resources files, and puts them into normal picture files (such as BMP, JPG, or or PNG). I try to avoid screencaps myself because they are hard to get right, and lose formatting (screencaps are 3 color channels, 8 bits per channel, even if the original image is 4bit indexed palette image).

Am I allowed to use game picture dumps?

lol no offence but probably this site wouldn't have bandwidth issues if the mods deleted quickly all the crap.
