h4. Selecting images to upload

While the ultimate decision to approve or decline an image is up to the tastes of individual approvers, the primary guiding principle is that images should be [i]of potential interest to other users[/i] and [i]have lasting value[/i]. In other words, high-quality original artwork is preferred to page after page of image macros.

Don't treat Omnibooru as a general image hosting site. We allow the posting of [[homegrown]] images because they may be of interest to other users, not as a guaranteed service. Hotlinking directly to images from other sites is blocked for this reason. If you merely want someplace to put personal images, use a service designed for this purpose, like "Dropbox":https://www.dropbox.com/ or "imgur":http://imgur.com/.

Omnibooru also houses a lot of IllFlower's web manga translations, but IllFlower does as IllFlower pleases.

h4. Image metadata (tags and sourcing)

h4. Flagging unacceptable images

If you believe a post contains content that is not suitable for Omnibooru, you can bring it to the attention of the moderators by flagging it. This places the image back on the moderation queue; if it is not subsequently re-approved within the usual three-day window, it is deleted.

Note that flagging images for frivolous reasons will earn you a negative user record, at the very least, and possibly a block or ban.
