<p>Uploading to art.mobius.social (AMS) is simple - just hit the upload button and follow the form! However, we have a few guidelines to make certain people can find art.</p>
<h2>Tags</h2>
<p>The most important aspect of AMS are the tags, and we <b>require</b> 3 tags and at least 1 rating tag per image. If you don't know the name of a tag, just begin typing and it'll automatically suggest tags at the 3rd character. The most important tags are the rating tag, the subject tag, and the artist tag, so start with those.</p>
<h3>Is it safe?</h3>
<ul>
<li><tt>safe</tt> - perfectly squeaky clean, incompatible with other tags. Or, it can have one of the other categories of tags:
<li>Erotica tags:</li>
<ul>
<li><tt>suggestive</tt> - saucy or risque, but no more than a comic pinup would be.</li>
<li><tt>questionable</tt> - too hot for TV but not showing an overt sexual act.</li>
<li><tt>explicit</tt> - showing an overt sexual act.
</ul>
<li>Dark tags:</li>
<ul>
<li><tt>semi-grimdark</tt> - nightmare fuel for kids.</tt></li>
<li><tt>grimdark</tt> - nightmare fuel for adults. Horror, gore, and overt traumatic events.</tt></li>
</ul>
<li>Gross tags:</li>
<ul>
<li><tt>grotesque</tt> - anything disgusting and disconcerting.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
These tags are not rating tags, but are often used to filter out unwanted results, so they should be tagged even if the image as a whole is from a lesser rating category:
<ul>
<li><tt>blood</tt> - any amount of blood</li>
<li><tt>seizure warning</tt> - any image that blinks 5 or more times per second (or 3 or more times per second if it includes a flash to or away from a red color).</li>
<li><tt>vulgar</tt> - foul language.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Who's in it?</h3>
<p>Just start typing their name in, and it'll suggest tags below.</p>
<p>If you see a <tt>(0)</tt> next to the tag, that means it's probably an <i>alias</i>. For example, trying to put the tag <tt>tails</tt> will automatically insert the tag <tt>miles "tails" prower</tt> when the upload is processed. (It works for search, too!)</p>
<h3>Who made it, and how?</h3>
<p>After rating and character, the most important tag is the artist. All artist tags start with <tt>artist:</tt>, so make certain to put that in before typing in the rest of the tag.</p>
<p>If you don't know the artist, and you can't find the artist after searching, the <tt>artist needed</tt> tag flags that image for any later web searchers to look.</p>
<h3>What're they doing?</h3>
<p>Tag for their pose, their facial expressions, and their overall action.</p>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>If the source has a title, use <tt>_original title:_</tt> and the title underneath in <tt>*bolded text*</tt>.</p>
<p>If the source has a description, use <tt>_original description:_</tt> and the description underneath it.</p> Simple "be sure to like and subscribe" boiler plate doesn't need to be copied. If the original description uses platform-specific tags that we can't emulate, note <tt>_original description (sans platform-specific tags):_</tt> instead.</p>
<p>If the source has tags, treat them carefully. Generally, we'll have an equivalent tag in our list. However, some sites (e.g., Tumblr, FurAffinity) use tags humorously - if so, put them in the description instead of as a tag.</p>

<p>If you cannot find a source, tag it <tt>source needed</tt>. This flags the upload as erroneous, so treat this as a last resort!</p>
<p>If you find multiple sources, and can't determine which one is preferred by the artist, use this rough order of priority for which to use:</p>

<h2>Creating Tags</h2>
<p>Anyone can create a new tag just by typing it in and hitting enter. (On mobile, use the simple editor to put the tag in the list.) We have a few simple guidelines:</p>
<p>Tag for their pose, their facial expressions, and their overall action.</p>
<ul>
<li>Artist tags should begin with <tt>artist:</tt> followed by their <b>preferred handle</b>. We use all-lowercase for artist tags on AMS. Examples: <tt>artist:matt herms</tt> (goes by their real name), <tt>artist:bigdad</tt> (goes by a handle).</li>
<li>Original characters should begin with <tt>oc:</tt> followed by their name. Use a full name if you can find it, because there is a <i>lot</i> of potential for multiple people to use identical names over the years. Examples: <tt>oc:ember the echidna</tt>, <tt>oc:angelia the jaguar</tt>, <tt>oc:hilda the hyena</tt>.</li>
<li>Things should use the singular form. Examples: <tt>boomerang</tt>, <tt>loop</tt>, <tt>ocean</tt>, <tt>sunflower</tt>.</li>
<li>Actions should use the gerund (-ing) form of the verb. Examples: <tt>blushing</tt>, <tt>cooking</tt>, <tt>crying</tt>, <tt>flying</tt>, <tt>leaping</tt>, <tt>sleeping</tt>.</li>
</ul>

<li>Artist tags should begin with <tt>artist:</tt> followed by their <b>preferred handle</b>. We use all-lowercase for artist tags on AMS. Examples: <tt>artist:matt herms</tt> (goes by their real name), <tt>artist:bigdad</tt> (goes by a handle).</li>
<li>Original characters should begin with <tt>oc:</tt> followed by their name. Use a full name if you can find it, because there is a <i>lot</i> of potential for multiple people to use identical names over the years. Examples: <tt>oc:ember the echidna</tt>, <tt>oc:angelia the jaguar</tt>, <tt>oc:hilda the hyena</tt>.</li>
<li>Things should use the singular form. Examples: <tt>boomerang</tt>, <tt>loop</tt>, <tt>ocean</tt>, <tt>sunflower</tt>.</li>
<li>Actions should use the gerund (-ing) form of the verb. Examples: <tt>blushing</tt>, <tt>cooking</tt>, <tt>crying</tt>, <tt>flying</tt>, <tt>leaping</tt>, <tt>sleeping</tt>.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>If the source has a title, use <tt>_original title:_</tt> and the title underneath in <tt>*bolded text*</tt>.</p>
<p>If the source has a description, use <tt>_original description:_</tt> and the description underneath it.</p> Simple "be sure to like and subscribe" boiler plate doesn't need to be copied. If the original description uses platform-specific tags that we can't emulate, note <tt>_original description (sans platform-specific tags):_</tt> instead.</p>
<p>If the source has tags, treat them carefully. Generally, we'll have an equivalent tag in our list. However, some sites (e.g., Tumblr, FurAffinity) use tags humorously - if so, put them in the description instead of as a tag.</p>
<h2>Sources</h2>
<p>If you do not know the original source, first check <a href=https://tineye.com/>Tineye</a>, <a href=https://saucenao.com/>Saucenao</a>, <a href=http://images.google.com/>Google Images</a>, and <a href=https://images.bing.com/>Bing Images</a>.</p>
<p>If you cannot find a source, tag it <tt>source needed</tt>. This flags the upload as erroneous, so treat this as a last resort!</p>
<p>If you find multiple sources, and can't determine which one is preferred by the artist use this rough order of priority for which to use:</p>
<ol>
<li>An artist's own website</li>
<li>FurAffinity</li>
<li>Pixiv</li>
<li>Newgrounds</li>
<li>Twitter</li>
<li>DeviantArt</li>
<li>InkBunny</li>
<li>a Mastodon instance</li>
<li>Weasyl</li>
<li>Tumblr</li>
<li>SoFurry</li>
</ol>
<p><b>Image aggregators that do not prefere the source in an accessable format, such as VK or Pinterest, are never acceptable sources.</b></p>
<p><b>Image aggregators that do not preserve the source in an accessable format, such as VK or Pinterest, are never acceptable sources.</b></p>
<p>Uploading to art.mobius.social (AMS) is simple - just hit the upload button and follow the form! However, we have a few guidelines to make certain people can find art.</p>
<h2>Tags</h2>
<p>The most important aspect of AMS are the tags, and we <b>require</b> 3 tags and at least 1 rating tag per image. If you don't know the name of a tag, just begin typing and it'll automatically suggest tags at the 3rd character. The most important tags are the rating tag, the subject tag, and the artist tag, so start with those.</p>
<h3>Is it safe?</h3>
<ul>
<li><tt>safe</tt> - perfectly squeaky clean, incompatible with other tags. Or, it can have one of the other categories of tags:
<li>Erotica tags:</li>
<ul>
<li><tt>suggestive</tt> - saucy or risque, but no more than a comic pinup would be.</li>
<li><tt>questionable</tt> - too hot for TV but not showing an overt sexual act.</li>
<li><tt>explicit</tt> - showing an overt sexual act.
</ul>
<li>Dark tags:</li>
<ul>
<li><tt>semi-grimdark</tt> - nightmare fuel for kids.</tt></li>
<li><tt>grimdark</tt> - nightmare fuel for adults. Horror, gore, and overt traumatic events.</tt></li>
</ul>
<li>Gross tags:</li>
<ul>
<li><tt>grotesque</tt> - anything disgusting and disconcerting.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
These tags are not rating tags, but are often used to filter out unwanted results, so they should be tagged even if the image as a whole is from a lesser rating category:
<ul>
<li><tt>blood</tt> - any amount of blood</li>
<li><tt>seizure warning</tt> - any image that blinks 5 or more times per second (or 3 or more times per second if it includes a flash to or away from a red color).</li>
<li><tt>vulgar</tt> - foul language.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Who's in it?</h3>
<p>Just start typing their name in, and it'll suggest tags below.</p>
<p>If you see a <tt>(0)</tt> next to the tag, that means it's probably an <i>alias</i>. For example, trying to put the tag <tt>tails</tt> will automatically insert the tag <tt>miles "tails" prower</tt> when the upload is processed. (It works for search, too!)</p>
<h3>Who made it, and how?</h3>
<p>After rating and character, the most important tag is the artist. All artist tags start with <tt>artist:</tt>, so make certain to put that in before typing in the rest of the tag.</p>
<p>If you don't know the artist, and you can't find the artist after searching, the <tt>artist needed</tt> tag flags that image for any later web searchers to look.</p>
