Comments

Leave comments on any post when logged in. Comments are flat (no threading) and shown oldest first.

- @mentions: Type @username to mention someone -- it appears highlighted in orange and links to their profile - Character limit: 2,000 characters per comment - Rate limit: 5 comments per minute - No URLs: Links are blocked in comments to prevent spam - Moderation: You can delete your own comments. Admins and moderators can delete any comment.

Voting

Click the thumbs-up icon on any post to upvote it. Each user gets one vote per post -- clicking again removes the vote. The displayed score combines the original imported score with platform upvotes.

You can also upvote albums from the album page. Album votes help surface popular collections on the browse page.

Direct Messages

Send private messages to other users from the Messages page. Click "New Message", search for a username, and start a conversation.

- Character limit: 5,000 characters per message - Rate limit: 20 messages per 5 minutes - No URLs: Links are blocked to prevent spam - Conversations: Messages are organized into conversations. The conversation list shows the most recent message and unread count.

Notifications

The bell icon in the header shows your unread notification count. Notifications are sent for:

- Admin messages: Important announcements from the platform - Upload approved: When your uploaded post passes moderation - Album status: When your album is approved or rejected - Purchases: When someone buys your premium album (creators)

Click any notification to navigate to the relevant page. Use "Mark all as read" to clear the badge.

Reporting Content

Click the flag icon on any post to report it. Choose from 8 reason categories:

Underage content, Copyright violation, Spam, Harassment, Wrong tags, Duplicate, Low quality, or Other.

Add optional details (up to 1,000 characters) and submit. Reports go to the moderation team for review. You can submit up to 5 reports per hour. You cannot report the same post twice while your first report is pending.

Blocking Users

Block a user from the conversation view or from Settings > Blocked Tags (the blocked users section is below blocked tags). When you block someone:

- They cannot send you messages - Their conversations are hidden from your list - You can unblock at any time

Account Bans

If your account is banned by an admin, all write operations are blocked: you cannot comment, vote, upload, send messages, report, or make purchases. A ban reason is shown on your profile. Bans can be temporary or permanent at the admin's discretion.
