15. Why do I get malicious popups and virus warnings when I use your website??

We get these questions from time to time and Most of the time it's either malware they you got through downloading some app, or you clicked something you should not have and got your browser hijacked. Either way it's not our adverts, our adverts are checked and from reputable ad providers only.

To be sure, just use rule34 with another machine, another phone etc and see if you get the same issue, if you don't then it is a problem at your end, if you get the same problem on different devices and you are sure it's our ads causing the issue, then sent me an insite mail, with links to screenshots of the issue.

16. You -flagged the comment I flagged, you did not remove the image I reported, how come?

We mostly remove images/comments that violate the terms of service on the forum sticky, if we don't remove it you can be sure your reason given was either incorrect or not detailed enough, to find out which please contact Kielan.

Please never ever report based upon your opinion of a genre.

Please give a few words to explain your reason for reporting, don't just write 'spam' etc. otherwise we don't really know why you are reporting it and therefore it will most likely get -flagged in one click.

17. How can I get my image back/restored?

Images are removed for various reasons, quality, age appearance, duplicate, unauthorized edit etc etc, basically reasons layed out in the Terms of Sevice sticky.

If you feel an image has been deleted in error, please send an in-site mail to Kielan giving a link to the image in question and why you think it was removed by mistake.

If the image has no link then a minimum of 48 hours (often much longer like 2 weeks) has transpired and the image has been permanently deleted, there is no restoring the image after that, however you can offer a link to it and ask if it is alright to re-upload.

17a. Why did you remove my clothed image due to not porn?


Because the subject is clothed, especially fully clothed models will get removed, semi skin tight/body suit clothing also, but shots through pants etc.

We sometimes make some exceptions like if you can see the chest and nipples and crotch through the fabric (or butt).. but only if it is really clear and of particular sexy value, also if the cleavage is amazing.

But we do so on a case by case basis, if your image was removed for being "not porn" it is because we think it's not titillating enough in general, this is a porn site, it is not a fetish porn site for those who like clothing fetish.

18. How do I remove a comment or an image?/How do I remove my own comments?

You cannot remove them is the basic answer, we cannot give the permission of users to do this for security reasons, however, you can report a comment using the 'Flag for deletion' link which is beneath every comment, give a good reason like "I am the one who made the comment and I want it removed" or "this comment is insulting, racist, spam, unconstructively negative etc"

If you want an image post removed there is under the options in the left column next to every image you click on a link that says 'Flag for deletion' Click it and give the reason you think the image should be removed eg. "I uploaded this by mistake, I am the uploader", "This image is loli" .

Using these links is the absolute best way to ensure something is removed, please do not ever rely on making comments or talking about the problem, this solves nothing.

If you have a problem with a forum topic or comments made on the forum, please send a mail to or giving a link to it, also if possible take a screen shot (google how to screenshot a webpage if unsure and upload to a free image hosting service and give us the link)

Will we one day allow users to remove their own comments? maybe, but it would require making new site software, this will take time.

19. How to search images by score?

score:> for ascending
score:< for decending

For a score higher than a certain value score:> (value)
eg. score:>100
Using tag eg. big_breasts score:>100

If you want to ignore old downvotes:

You can see everything voted down by going to rule34.xxx/index.php?page=account&s=options

You just alter the comment and the post threshold in my account>options to -1000, then you will see everything hidden.

20. I have a problem with an ad/An ad tried to give me a virus!

Please check the Broken things thread and report there if you have any issues, we work very hard to ensure that all our ads are as invasive as possible and we'd like to know if any ad provider is not providing that.

This website has never offered ad's that contain viruses, this is the last thing any site would want to have, it's common sense really, no business would allow that kind of thing anywhere near it, only small time sites do that kind of thing and we are way bigger than those and part of that reason is this site is 100% safe.

To date no one has ever offered one scrap of evidence for a virus being offered or anything from this website, even screenshots on popup ads don't feature this website, they get it from elsewhere and just happen to be using Rule34 as well.

Truth is pretty simple, those claiming to have gotten viruses offered from this website are a couple of people who got banned from here making up lies to try and punish the site.

21. I'm being harassed wont you deal with it?

Many people who inform us they have been harassed forget that every harassment report needs to be backed up by proof, if on the site one can link to comments easily on images or on the forum and we will investigate, but in mail it is more difficult as we cannot read your mails.

If you are being harassed in insite mails please send a screenshot (you can google easily how to screenshot) upload it to one of many free image hosts and send us the link.

Also describe what dealings you had before with this user, remember without evidence we just have your word for it and that isn't enough to take action sadly, we need to see what's going on to help you.

22. Can you ban all anons from commenting and just make registered users be able to? it would fix everything.

23. Why do you keep debates from the comments section? Why do you remove comments responding to trolls etc etc?


The comments section is not a place to debate anything, it's there so you can talk about what you like about the porn, to meet likeminded people and for light hearted chat/rp.

Many debates about a subject can quickly escalate into a flame war and therefore if it moves towards a situation where it might distract people from the porn, we remove those comments, it's that simple.

Rule34's comment section is the last place you should be having a debate about a certain genre of porn or whether a definition is right or wrong, site policy, trolling etc, this is better done on the forums and even then you need to keep it civilized and respectful, since otherwise you're just having a back and forth with no point to it.

24. Hey why you remove my stuff, what about that other stuff that's just as bad? why you allow that huh huh? hypocrite/weak/bias etc etc. "insert subtle jibe" we've heard many times before


It will get removed too eventually, if you want to speed up the process, by all means report it too, you haven't been singled out, you just got caught, others haven't yet, it's kinda how humans work, we are not everywhere at every time and it is unreasonable to expect it.

Most times when someone reaches for this kind of thing, it is is a fallacy called 'whataboutism' which we have heard dozens of times and which is a complete non-sensical argument.

What about this other content/person? is nothing but a deflection tactic to move the subject away from your own infraction, it won't work, kindly stop wasting your/our time and take the warning and never do it again or we will have to permanently ban you, you are not going to make any kind of point with this fallacy, you just look like you are trying to shirk responsibility and your supposed to be an adult here.

See FAQ 13 for more.

This however does not excuse you what so ever of uploading what you should not upload ;), all you gotto do is stop uploading that kind of thing.

25. Hey I have this problem with this troll can you deal with it please? I have a stalker etc

9 times out of 10 trolls and stalkers do so because they got a response, they got a reply, they got you frustrated and you vented at them, the solution? stop, simply stop interacting with them in any way and just report their comments. Be it image comments or just the thread they are harassing you in, report and do not interact with them under any circumstance, feeding the trolls attention makes the problem worse, trolls like bullies thrive on the attention you give them, STOP giving them attention, they are not worth it.

Most cease to continue after a while without a reply, they get bored and move on.

26. Why are certain images not showing up for me,
when I use another browser or am not logged in I see them!

bipface - try setting your post threshold to "-9999"

This is good so you can see all downvoted images, certain fetishes are downvoted allot because of loser no life biggots.

You can find your options page at: rule34.xxx/index.php?page=account&s=options

Check your tags that you have blackted, remove any that might be obscuring those images you want to see, failing that remove your cookies and cache for Rule34 in your web browser to start fresh.

28. how can I make an existing tag into an artist tag?

Simply add "artist:" to the front of the tag when editing the tags of an image, then save your tags, this will make the tag turn red for artist.

29. How do I report an image?

(Do not flag images for reasons of copyright theft etc, see the forum sticky for takedown email)

Simply go into the image you think should be removed and hit 'flag for deletion' in the left hand column.

If it is a duplicate that you are reporting make sure you report the duplicate by being in the duplicate image when you flag, do not flag the original!

A duplicate is an image uploaded after the original time-wise, the earlier image is always kept unless the newer image is a larger resolution in which case it replaces the original (except when it's double scale up in which case it will be deleted with zero tolerance, no scaling up!)

Most importantly you must give the image number of the original when reporting the duplicate, we haven't the time to track it down, if you fail to include the number your report will be ignored and if you continue you will be warned.

If it is for something against the Terms of Service, clearly t why the image is against our terms of service on the forum sticky, failure to give an adequate reason will result in your report being ignored or you being warned for wasting time, report well or not at all.
