<h2><a name="1"></a> <a href="#1">#1</a> Respect artists and their artwork</h2>
Tantabus is intended to host images created using AI, either in their entirety or as a major tool in the creative workflow. We want to ensure that the rights and wishes of artists are respected while also creating a space for the sharing and creation of AI creations. Please follow the guidelines below to ensure that the site is used appropriately and ethically.
- Do not attempt to deceive or mislead regarding the origins or creators of an image. Regarding artists in the pony and furry fandoms, this can include copying their signature, or perfectly mimicking their unique style (combined with themes) to the point viewers would believe it's their work.
- Do not use artworks created by others as a raw base image for generating new images without obtaining proper permission and crediting the original artist; this includes WIP art, stream-sniped sketches, YCH (“Your Character Here”) base images.
- Do not upload images that were not publicly released by their creators or that are meant to be behind a paywall of any kind.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="2"></a> <a href="#2">#2</a> Properly tag and source images</h2>
Proper tagging is fundamental to any linear imageboard, it’s what allows anyone to find exactly what they are looking for quickly and easily, while filtering out anything they may not want to see. Anyone can edit an image’s tags to help organize it better, but it is important to keep tags consistent and accurate.
- **If you can prompt, you can tag.**
- All images must have 1 or more rating tags. Note that `safe` is overridden by any other.
- Images originally posted first on another site should source to the image’s page on the other site.
- If an image is not adequately tagged or sourced, please correct it yourself (when possible, report the image otherwise) and do not complain in a comment. If someone is consistently tagging/sourcing inadequately, report them.
- If there’s disagreement over tagging/sourcing, defer to staff judgment, and report as necessary. Do not engage in “tag wars”.
- Tags should describe the “facts” of an image, like the characters, their relationships, events happening, and the image’s composition. When these are in dispute (such as whether an image with a couple is “shipping”), the creator’s intent takes precedence. Tags should not be used to state opinions – that’s what comments are for.
- Tags should be useful to the site overall. Do not create tags for personal organization, or with very vague or inconsistent definitions; use Galleries for that purpose.
- Tag and source vandalism will not be tolerated. This includes bulk changes (like removing a tag present on dozens of images) without speaking to staff first.
- Images that have rapidly-flashing animation must be tagged with “seizure warning”.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="3"></a> <a href="#3">#3</a> Do not upload unrelated content</h2>
Tantabus is intended for images made by AI or with AI as a major tool, with content focused on MLP and its surrounding community.
- Images not made by or with AI should have a clear relation to the topic, or one's workflow. For example, a guide on how to use a tool, or a sketch to be used for a controlnet image.
- Do not upload images without a clear relation to MLP.
- An image isn’t pony-related just because something pony is in it; for instance, exploitable meme templates with unrelated content or ponies pasted into real-life pornography should not be uploaded.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="4"></a> <a href="#4">#4</a> Use filters to hide unwanted content and follow local content law</h2>
Tantabus is extremely permissive as to what we allow, which means we allow images that contain themes that some may find objectionable or disturbing. To help users avoid seeing images they may not wish to see, we have a tag filtering system, which allows for hiding images that contain specific tags, as well as a per-image Hide feature, that will hide specific images.
- If you see images that contain themes you do not like, you should add the appropriate tags to your filter. Do not post comments complaining about the theme of the image, and do not vandalize tags.
- If you find an image that you believe violates the site’s rules or content guidelines, please report the image so that the site’s staff may look into it. Do not post comments claiming an image violates the site’s rules.
- Do not view or post any content you are forbidden to in your jurisdiction. For images, filter them.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="5"></a> <a href="#5">#5</a> Do not post forbidden content</h2>
We do not allow the uploading of certain types of content under any circumstances.
Note that ‘sexual’ refers to any content rated “suggestive”, “questionable”, or “explicit”; and ‘underage’ means below 18 years old.
- Do not upload photographs of real life humans, or AI images that simulate apparent real humans (be they real or fictitious persons) in violent or sexual depictions or scenarios.
- Do not upload images of characters in sexual depictions or scenarios who look underage and look human or human-like (anthro), regardless of style. Do not discuss or link to sites that knowingly host such content.
- Do not roleplay sexual situations involving underage human or human-like characters.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="6"></a> <a href="#6">#6</a> Do not abuse site functionality or intentionally derail discussion</h2>
- You are permitted to have multiple accounts for purposes of roleplaying, maintaining different sets of filters, different creator identities, or for personal privacy.
- You may not use multiple accounts or anonymous posting for the purposes of evading bans, voting on images multiple times, sockpuppeting, or otherwise appearing to be multiple people within the same conversation.
- Do not spam or put off-topic content – such as fetishes, roleplay or political subjects – in comments, forum posts, reports, tags, or other areas.
- Do not indiscriminately downvote images based on their tags and/or content. Instead, filter content you do not wish to see.
- If you think someone is violating a rule, submit a report instead of otherwise calling them out (such as with a comment). Don’t submit reports in bad faith, such as frivolous reports to attack others.
- Do not upscale or otherwise manipulate existing images to artificially create a “better” image solely to bump the image’s positions up in a merger.
- You may not post images or image descriptions that are intended to game the site’s vote system by offering specific incentives (such as alternative versions of an image) in exchange for upvotes, downvotes, or faves.
- Do not impersonate site staff, such as by setting your “personal title” or username to anything closely resembling those of a staff member.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="7"></a> <a href="#7">#7</a> Unfilterable content must be shown with care</h2>
We allow content of many kinds, and one must be mindful where and how adult, graphic, or potentially seizure-inducing content is posted. Our ratings distinguish levels of sexuality, grossness, and darkness for these purposes.
This doesn’t apply to filterable content like uploaded images or embeds using on-site (>>) syntax as this format will respect viewers’ current filters.
- Forum threads intended to contain sexual and/or graphic posts must be marked with [NSFW] in the title.
Content in comments/posts above the image or thread’s rating must be surrounded with ||spoiler|| tags and, if considerably outside the rating, have a clear warning.
- Above-rating content cannot be the entire point of a comment/post.
- Images that may cause seizures, like rapid flashing, must be spoilered and come with a clear warning.
- Avatars must not be potentially seizure-inducing and, along with usernames and personal titles, must be reasonably safe-for-work (no sexually graphic, overly violent, or controversial content).
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="8"></a> <a href="#8">#8</a> Respect privacy and do not misrepresent yourself or others</h2>
As noted above, we allow a wide variety of content, and some people may not necessarily wish for their name or online identity to be publicly associated with certain subjects. We take privacy extremely seriously, and attempting to breach one’s privacy is strictly prohibited.
- If you are aware of a creator or member using multiple names/aliases to keep content separate (such as clean vs sexual content), or using an alternative name as to not be identified, do not call them out or highlight it.
- Do not share private or personal information about a third party, such as personal contact information, private messages, off site conversations, and other information that they may not want publicly known, without their permission.
- Do not impersonate other individuals, with the exception of clear parody of public figures, via names, comments, posts, or images.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="9"></a> <a href="#9">#9</a> Be mindful of image quality</h2>
We strive to create a community that showcases the best of what AI has to offer, from raw generations to artworks that used AI as part of their creation process. For more information please check <a href="/pages/aibasequality">this page</a>.
- Images should not contain clearly broken anatomy, flesh melding into other areas or objects, or similar aberrations.
- **If you can see faults like these from the thumbnail, it's a problem.**
- Images should not contain clearly visible fake signatures or logos, aka “ghost signatures”, that distract from the image, resemble a real artist's signature, or resemble a logo (eg. Patreon logo).
- Do not spam the site with large numbers of variations of the same image / prompt.
We encourage everyone to experiment with refining their images using inpainting and external tools rather than just depend on pure AI generation. When possible you should share any relevant techniques so as to help others learn and improve their own work.

<h2><a name="1"></a> <a href="#1">#1</a> Respect artists and their artwork</h2>
Tantabus is intended to host images created using AI, either in their entirety or as a major tool in the creative workflow. We want to ensure that the rights and wishes of artists are respected while also creating a space for the sharing and creation of AI artworks. Please follow the guidelines below to ensure that the site is used appropriately and ethically.

We want to ensure that the rights and wishes of artists are respected while also creating a space for the sharing and creation of AI creations. Please follow the guidelines below to ensure that the site is used appropriately and ethically.
- Do not upload images that directly mimic a specific artist within the pony or furry fandoms without their approval. If someone could confuse the image with their real work, it will likely be removed.
- Do not attempt to deceive or mislead regarding the origins or creators of an image.
- Do not use artworks created by others as a raw base image for generating new images without obtaining proper permission and crediting the original artist; this includes WIP art, stream-sniped sketches, YCH (“Your Character Here”) base images.
- Do not upload images that were not publicly released by their creators or that are meant to be behind a paywall of any kind.

<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="2"></a> <a href="#2">#2</a> Properly tag and source images</h2>
Proper tagging is fundamental to any linear imageboard, it’s what allows anyone to find exactly what they are looking for quickly and easily, while filtering out anything they may not want to see. Anyone can edit an image’s tags to help organize it better, but it is important to keep tags consistent and accurate.
- All images must have 1 or more rating tags. Note that safe is overridden by any other.
- Images originally posted first on another site should source to the image’s page on the other site.
- If an image is not adequately tagged or sourced, please correct it yourself (when possible, report the image otherwise) and do not complain in a comment. If someone is consistently tagging/sourcing inadequately, report them.
- If there’s disagreement over tagging/sourcing, defer to staff judgment, and report as necessary. Do not engage in “tag wars”.
- Tags should describe the “facts” of an image, like the characters, their relationships, events happening, and the image’s composition. When these are in dispute (such as whether an image with a couple is “shipping”), the creator’s intent takes precedence. Tags should not be used to state opinions – that’s what comments are for.
- Tags should be useful to the site overall. Do not create tags for personal organization, or with very vague or inconsistent definitions; use Galleries for that purpose.
- Tag and source vandalism will not be tolerated. This includes bulk changes (like removing a tag present on dozens of images) without speaking to staff first.
- Images that have rapidly-flashing animation must be tagged with “seizure warning”.

<h2><a name="4"></a> <a href="#4">#4</a> Use filters to hide unwanted content and follow local content law</h2>
Tantabus is extremely permissive as to what we allow, which means we allow images that contain themes that some may find objectionable or disturbing. To help users avoid seeing images they may not wish to see, we have a tag filtering system, which allows for hiding images that contain specific tags, as well as a per-image Hide feature, that will hide specific images.
- If you see images that contain themes you do not like, you should add the appropriate tags to your filter. Do not post comments complaining about the theme of the image, and do not vandalize tags.
- If you find an image that you believe violates the site’s rules or content guidelines, please report the image so that the site’s staff may look into it. Do not post comments claiming an image violates the site’s rules.
- Do not view or post any content you are forbidden to in your jurisdiction. For images, filter them.

- Do not spam or put off-topic content – such as fetishes, roleplay or political subjects – in comments, forum posts, reports, tags, or other areas.
- Do not indiscriminately downvote images based on their tags and/or content. Instead, filter content you do not wish to see.
- If you think someone is violating a rule, submit a report instead of otherwise calling them out (such as with a comment). Don’t submit reports in bad faith, such as frivolous reports to attack others.
- Do not upscale or otherwise manipulate existing images to artificially create a “better” image solely to bump the image’s positions up in a merger.
- You may not post images or image descriptions that are intended to game the site’s vote system by offering specific incentives (such as alternative versions of an image) in exchange for upvotes, downvotes, or faves.

This doesn’t apply to filterable content like uploaded images or embeds using on-site (>>) syntax as this format will respect viewers’ current filters.
- Forum threads intended to contain sexual and/or graphic posts must be marked with [NSFW] in the title.

- Above-rating content cannot be the entire point of a comment/post.
- Images that may cause seizures, like rapid flashing, must be spoilered and come with a clear warning.

<h2><a name="1"></a> <a href="#1">#1</a> Respect artists and their artwork</h2>
Tantabus is intended to host images created using AI, either in their entirety or as a major tool in the creative workflow. We want to ensure that the rights and wishes of artists are respected while also creating a space for the sharing and creation of AI artworks. Please follow the guidelines below to ensure that the site is used appropriately and ethically.
- Do not upload images that directly mimic a specific artist within the pony or furry fandoms without their approval. If someone could confuse the image with their real work, it will likely be removed.
- Do not attempt to deceive or mislead regarding the origins or creators of an image.
- Do not use artworks created by others as a raw base image for generating new images without obtaining proper permission and crediting the original artist; this includes WIP art, stream-sniped sketches, YCH (“Your Character Here”) base images.
- Do not upload images that were not publicly released by their creators or that are meant to be behind a paywall of any kind.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="2"></a> <a href="#2">#2</a> Properly tag and source images</h2>
Proper tagging is fundamental to any linear imageboard, it’s what allows anyone to find exactly what they are looking for quickly and easily, while filtering out anything they may not want to see. Anyone can edit an image’s tags to help organize it better, but it is important to keep tags consistent and accurate.
- All images must have 1 or more rating tags. Note that safe is overridden by any other.
- Images originally posted first on another site should source to the image’s page on the other site.
- If an image is not adequately tagged or sourced, please correct it yourself (when possible, report the image otherwise) and do not complain in a comment. If someone is consistently tagging/sourcing inadequately, report them.
- If there’s disagreement over tagging/sourcing, defer to staff judgment, and report as necessary. Do not engage in “tag wars”.
- Tags should describe the “facts” of an image, like the characters, their relationships, events happening, and the image’s composition. When these are in dispute (such as whether an image with a couple is “shipping”), the creator’s intent takes precedence. Tags should not be used to state opinions – that’s what comments are for.
- Tags should be useful to the site overall. Do not create tags for personal organization, or with very vague or inconsistent definitions; use Galleries for that purpose.
- Tag and source vandalism will not be tolerated. This includes bulk changes (like removing a tag present on dozens of images) without speaking to staff first.
- Images that have rapidly-flashing animation must be tagged with “seizure warning”.

<h2><a name="3"></a> <a href="#3">#3</a> Do not upload unrelated content</h2
Tantabus is intended for images made by AI or with AI as a major tool, with content focused on MLP and its surrounding community.
- Our site is centered around AI Generated and AI Assisted artworks, and should not be used for other images with no or little AI involvement.
- Do not upload images without a clear relation to MLP.
- An image isn’t pony-related just because something pony is in it; for instance, exploitable meme templates with unrelated content or pony merchandise as decorations in real-life pornography should not be uploaded.

<h2><a name="4"></a> <a href="#4">#4</a> Use filters to hide unwanted content and follow local content law</h2>
Tantabus is extremely permissive as to what we allow, which means we allow images that contain themes that some may find objectionable or disturbing. To help users avoid seeing images they may not wish to see, we have a tag filtering system, which allows for hiding images that contain specific tags, as well as a per-image Hide feature, that will hide specific images.
- If you see images that contain themes you do not like, you should add the appropriate tags to your filter. Do not post comments complaining about the theme of the image, and do not vandalize tags.
- If you find an image that you believe violates the site’s rules or content guidelines, please report the image so that the site’s staff may look into it. Do not post comments claiming an image violates the site’s rules.
- Do not view or post any content you are forbidden to in your jurisdiction. For images, filter them.

- Tag and source vandalism will not be tolerated. This includes bulk changes (like removing a tag present on dozens of images) without speaking to staff first.
- Images that have rapidly-flashing animation must be tagged with “seizure warning”.

<h2><a name="3"></a> <a href="#3">#3</a> Do not upload unrelated content</h2
Tantabus is intended for images made by AI or with AI as a major tool, with content focused on MLP and its surrounding community.
- Our site is centered around AI Generated and AI Assisted artworks, and should not be used for other images with no or little AI involvement.
- Do not upload images without a clear relation to MLP.
- An image isn’t pony-related just because something pony is in it; for instance, exploitable meme templates with unrelated content or pony merchandise as decorations in real-life pornography should not be uploaded.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="4"></a> <a href="#4">#4</a> Use filters to hide unwanted content and follow local content law</h2>
Tantabus is extremely permissive as to what we allow, which means we allow images that contain themes that some may find objectionable or disturbing. To help users avoid seeing images they may not wish to see, we have a tag filtering system, which allows for hiding images that contain specific tags, as well as a per-image Hide feature, that will hide specific images.
- If you see images that contain themes you do not like, you should add the appropriate tags to your filter. Do not post comments complaining about the theme of the image, and do not vandalize tags.
- If you find an image that you believe violates the site’s rules or content guidelines, please report the image so that the site’s staff may look into it. Do not post comments claiming an image violates the site’s rules.
- Do not view or post any content you are forbidden to in your jurisdiction. For images, filter them.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="5"></a> <a href="#5">#5</a> Do not post forbidden content</h2>
We do not allow the uploading of certain types of content under any circumstances.
Note that ‘sexual’ refers to any content rated “suggestive”, “questionable”, or “explicit”; and ‘underage’ means below 18 years old.
- Do not upload photographs of real life humans, or AI images that simulate apparent real humans (be they real or fictitious persons) in violent or sexual depictions or scenarios.
- Do not upload images of characters in sexual depictions or scenarios who look underage and look human or human-like (anthro), regardless of style. Do not discuss or link to sites that knowingly host such content.
- Do not roleplay sexual situations involving underage human or human-like characters.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="6"></a> <a href="#6">#6</a> Do not abuse site functionality or intentionally derail discussion</h2>
- You are permitted to have multiple accounts for purposes of roleplaying, maintaining different sets of filters, different creator identities, or for personal privacy.
- You may not use multiple accounts or anonymous posting for the purposes of evading bans, voting on images multiple times, sockpuppeting, or otherwise appearing to be multiple people within the same conversation.
- Do not spam or put off-topic content – such as fetishes, roleplay or political subjects – in comments, forum posts, reports, tags, or other areas.
- Do not indiscriminately downvote images based on their tags and/or content. Instead, filter content you do not wish to see.
- If you think someone is violating a rule, submit a report instead of otherwise calling them out (such as with a comment). Don’t submit reports in bad faith, such as frivolous reports to attack others.
- Do not upscale or otherwise manipulate existing images to artificially create a “better” image solely to bump the image’s positions up in a merger.
- You may not post images or image descriptions that are intended to game the site’s vote system by offering specific incentives (such as alternative versions of an image) in exchange for upvotes, downvotes, or faves.
- Do not impersonate site staff, such as by setting your “personal title” or username to anything closely resembling those of a staff member.

<h2><a name="7"></a> <a href="#7">#7</a> Unfilterable content must be shown with care</h2>
We allow content of many kinds, and one must be mindful where and how adult, graphic, or potentially seizure-inducing content is posted. Our ratings distinguish levels of sexuality, grossness, and darkness for these purposes.
This doesn’t apply to filterable content like uploaded images or embeds using on-site (>>) syntax as this format will respect viewers’ current filters.
- Forum threads intended to contain sexual and/or graphic posts must be marked with [NSFW] in the title.
Content in comments/posts above the image or thread’s rating must be surrounded with ||spoiler|| tags and, if considerably outside the rating, have a clear warning.
- Above-rating content cannot be the entire point of a comment/post.
- Images that may cause seizures, like rapid flashing, must be spoilered and come with a clear warning.
- Avatars must not be potentially seizure-inducing and, along with usernames and personal titles, must be reasonably safe-for-work (no sexually graphic, overly violent, or controversial content).
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="8"></a> <a href="#8">#8</a> Respect privacy and do not misrepresent yourself or others</h2>
As noted above, we allow a wide variety of content, and some people may not necessarily wish for their name or online identity to be publicly associated with certain subjects. We take privacy extremely seriously, and attempting to breach one’s privacy is strictly prohibited.
- If you are aware of a creator or member using multiple names/aliases to keep content separate (such as clean vs sexual content), or using an alternative name as to not be identified, do not call them out or highlight it.
- Do not share private or personal information about a third party, such as personal contact information, private messages, off site conversations, and other information that they may not want publicly known, without their permission.
- Do not impersonate other individuals, with the exception of clear parody of public figures, via names, comments, posts, or images.

<h2><a name="1"></a> <a href="#1">#1</a> Respect artists and their artwork</h2>
Tantabus is intended to host images created using AI, either in their entirety or as a major tool in the creative workflow. We want to ensure that the rights and wishes of artists are respected while also creating a space for the sharing and creation of AI artworks. Please follow the guidelines below to ensure that the site is used appropriately and ethically.
- Do not upload images that directly mimic a specific artist within the pony or furry fandoms without their approval. If someone could confuse the image with their real work, it will likely be removed.
- Do not attempt to deceive or mislead regarding the origins or creators of an image.
- Do not use artworks created by others as a raw base image for generating new images without obtaining proper permission and crediting the original artist; this includes WIP art, stream-sniped sketches, YCH (“Your Character Here”) base images.
- Do not upload images that were not publicly released by their creators or that are meant to be behind a paywall of any kind.
</div>
<div class="rule">
<h2><a name="2"></a> <a href="#2">#2</a> Properly tag and source images</h2>
Proper tagging is fundamental to any linear imageboard, it’s what allows anyone to find exactly what they are looking for quickly and easily, while filtering out anything they may not want to see. Anyone can edit an image’s tags to help organize it better, but it is important to keep tags consistent and accurate.
- All images must have 1 or more rating tags. Note that safe is overridden by any other.
- Images originally posted first on another site should source to the image’s page on the other site.
- If an image is not adequately tagged or sourced, please correct it yourself (when possible, report the image otherwise) and do not complain in a comment. If someone is consistently tagging/sourcing inadequately, report them.
- If there’s disagreement over tagging/sourcing, defer to staff judgment, and report as necessary. Do not engage in “tag wars”.
- Tags should describe the “facts” of an image, like the characters, their relationships, events happening, and the image’s composition. When these are in dispute (such as whether an image with a couple is “shipping”), the creator’s intent takes precedence. Tags should not be used to state opinions – that’s what comments are for.
