What is Rule34? Simple. "If it exists there is porn of it. No exceptions." This is an adult only subreddit. You must be over the age of 18 or whatever age limit your local law deems fit to view adult content.
Rules:
1. Properly title & format your post.
You must include every character's name in the title.
You must include the artist's name if it is visible on the art, put it in (parenthesis)
If you omit the artist but a mod can find it you will be asked to resubmit
You must include the name of the series the character(s) are from in [square brackets].
No Character/Series name shorting, merging, abbreviating.
No "by me", "self", "OC" or similar words in the title.
No questions in the title
Correct spelling is a necessity.
2. Properly link flair your post.
When making a new post:
After filling out the title & url text fields boxes,
Click the select button in the Choose A Flair box.
If you already made a post:
You must add flair to your post, open it and click the button labelled flair beneath your title.
From the menu, select the most appropriate category, and then hit save.
Do not delete or resubmit your post!
Do not write the flair in the title. This will get your post removed.
3. No random / miscellaneous album dumps.
No more image dumps of random Rule34.
Every single post needs to follow the above rules.
If you have a collection from a single artist, you still need to post them separately.
Only those albums are allowed that are from the same series, of the same character, by the same artist in the same set.
4. No depictions of child porn.
In USA drawn images of underage looking people is considered CP.
If a character looks like a child or under 18, we consider it CP according to United States Criminal Code: Title 18, 1466A.
All CP will be immediately removed and user permanently banned.
There is no appeal.
We take this matter extremely seriously.
5. No repost before 120 days.
Check the new tab
Search "Character artist" to see if something's already posted
If you see a repost, report it and link the original post in the comments or in the report message
Do not repost something that already has > 12,000 upvotes
No piecemeal posting
Cosplays of the same character count as reposts
Exceptions:
Something significant has been changed/updated (higher quality/resolution/longer video etc).
Artists, cosplayers, etc are allowed to post their own works.
6. Limit of 10 posts per day.
Users can only post 10 posts per day.
It does not matter what type of posts they are.
Strive for quality instead of quantity.
7. No unreleased or exclusive content
•Do not post any content that is currently unreleased to the public, is exclusive, or behind a paywall
•If the content becomes available at a later date it will be allowed at that time.
•Doing so will result in a 30-180 day temporary ban.
8. Additional rules:
Please visit the rules wiki to see details on additional rules. Those being:
A. Request posts.
B. Learn to search.
C. Ask before posting sketchy things.
D. Rehost your content when needed.
E. Not all porn is rule 34.

9. Request posts.
Requests post are no longer permitted. You can visit subreddits such as /r/tipofmypenis if you are trying to request a source. Or /r/NSFW411 to subreddits for specific kinds of porn.
If you still try to make a request post, you can be banned for 30 days.
Nobody wants to DM or RP with you, don't ask. You will be banned.
10. Not all porn is rule 34.
Doing rule34 of someone only you or a few people know is not okay to post here.
Making your own OC character will not be allowed. Your post will be removed.
The minimum is if that character is semi popular.
For example: There is a super popular artist by the name of MeruNyaat. His OC character is "Meru". Everyone knows who Meru is. Doing rule34 of Meru would be perfectly acceptable. Because a lot of people know who Meru already is.
11. Self promotion & advertising.
Artists, cosplayers, editors, & content creators are allowed to post their own works.
Images themselves can't have advertising / promotional text.
The artist's signature or link to the artist's official site is the only text allowed on the image itself.
Link(s) to official sites are allowed only in the comments.
(twitter, patreon, instagrams, websites, subreddits etc etc)
Blatantly spamming your content can get you permabanned for breaking this rule.
12. Cosplayers Harassment
We at /r/Rule34 welcome cosplayers.
We just require quality over quantity.
This will be monitored at the Mod's discretion.
Regarding commenting on cosplayer posts:
You can be creepy and cringey just don't insult them.
If you insult cosplayers in anyway you will be temp banned for 90 days on first offense.
Constructive criticism is the only form of "negative" comments allowed.
13. Cosplay standards
Should be able to tell who the character is without seeing the title
Putting on a piece of merchandise is not cosplay. For example wearing a batman t-shirt is not a batman cosplay
Focus should be on cosplay and not regular porn. For example showing cosplay for a few seconds and then the models naked body for the rest would not be allowed
14. No AI art.
AI-Generated art is not to be posted to /r/rule34.
