Forum rules

2. Disrupting the forum by spamming new threads or flooding existing threads with off-topic replies is forbidden.
3. Necrobumping old threads without adding anything worthwhile to the discussion is not tolerated.
4. The forum is SFW and as such gore, porn, and fetish content is not permitted there.

Gallery rules

1. On the main gallery, all posts must contain a soyjak, soysphere meme, or 4chan /qa/ meme. Posts that contain templates for more 'jaks are permitted. Images of real-life soyboys are allowed. Photos that parody soy culture are also allowed (although more narrowly)
   • When determining if something is a soyjak, think the following: Would a reasonable person (possibly one that might be considered a normie) say the image you are planning on uploading is a soyjak?
   • When uploading a NAS soysphere meme, it is at the discretion of staff whether the meme is notable enough to be accepted.
2. On the artworks gallery, all posts must not meet the criteria for the main gallery, and must be original content
   • AI-generated content is not allowed on the artworks gallery.
3. Pornography is not allowed.
   • 'cado is exempted from this rule.
   • Crude comedic depictions of nudity and sex such as https://soybooru.com/post/view/2387 may be permitted at the discretion of staff. If you struggle to tell the difference between that and pornography, it may help to ask yourself if the post would look out of place on rule34. If the answer is no, it does not belong on this booru.
4. Posts that are not properly tagged by the uploader may be deleted. At least 5 tags must be present, and a variant tag for IAS posts is required.
5. Do not blank or vandalize post tags, sources, or other things.
6. Duplicates are not allowed, unless you have a higher quality version of an already existing soyjak.
7. Screenshots of soyjaks being featured on external social media, the Sharty, or SoyBooru, are not allowed. If you see a soyjak on social media, then download it directly. Sharty and SoyBooru screenshots may be posted on the forum instead.
8. Posts that excessively shill for offsite drama (e.g, splinter or Discord drama) will be deleted.
9. Extremely low-effort posts may be trashed at the discretion of booru janitors and above.
   • Unedited/untraced namefag AI posts are not allowed.
   • Attempts to upload NAS with loopholes like adding a soyjak to the corner will still be treated as NAS.
