F95 Jr Uploader Handbook
Summary Of Duties:
Welcome to your new position as an Jr Uploader on F95! The general duties of Uploaders and Jr. Uploaders is to make sure there is a constant flow of new game threads and updated threads. This keeps moderators and staff free to do their duties and keep the site running smoothly. We strive to maintain consistency and quality in every new and updated thread. This guide will give you a detailed breakdown on how to do just that!
Guide Sections:
To start here are the uploading rules and approved file host, these are two VERY useful links to save.
Uploading Rules (kinda outdated)
When creating a new game thread make sure to follow the template exactly. You may come into a situation where a game has some sort of special circumstance. In these situations it is very much alright to reach out to another Uploader or Staff. Uploaders need to be on our Discord. It's a quick and easy way to get help and communicate with staff and other uploaders and be notified of any changes to rules, etc.

Tags and Genre Tags:
Most of us don't play the games we upload and that's totally fine. We need to make sure though that we are adding proper tags to each post. It will be worth it to use UnRen or do a little extra digging to have the tags be as accurate as possible. This is especially crucial for games with more extreme content that might not be hinted at in the previews.
Note:
Every thread should have these tags: 2dcg or 3dcg or 2d game or 3d game or real porn or text based. Also male protagonist or female protagonist. Also don't forget animated tag for animated games.
Here is the current tags list and a link to UnRen:
Additional notes:
Make sure that there are no old links in threads. There is no need for version 0.25 staying in the thread if it's being updated to 0.26.
Do not leave work for other Uploaders. If you find a thread that needs updating and you don't want to do it - or don't have time: Report it. Under no circumstances should you make mirrors and leave them in a thread, tagging another Uploader to take care of it.
Rule 7 (officially General Rule 1.7) is the big one.
It bans any content that shows nudity, sexualization, or sexual/erotic activity involving characters who look prepubescent.
There’s zero tolerance here. No gray area loopholes. No “but technically” arguments.
If something violates Rule 7, it’s gone.
This rule isn’t about taste, preferences, or what other sites allow. It exists because without it, F95Zone wouldn’t survive.
F95Zone operates under real laws in real jurisdictions. Hosting this kind of content can put the entire site in legal danger. Not just a thread. Not just a user. The whole platform.
Payment processors, hosting companies, and CDNs all have strict policies against this content. Break those rules, and F95Zone loses the infrastructure that keeps it online.
One serious violation can be enough to pull the plug.
F95Zone has a firm stance against sexual content involving minors. That applies whether it’s a render, a drawing, pixel art, or text. Medium doesn’t change responsibility.
This is the part people get tripped up on.
It does not matter if:
If the character looks prepubescent, it violates Rule 7. Period.
Visual presentation is what counts.
That does not mean stylized art is automatically safe. It just means borderline cases are reviewed carefully.
When there’s doubt, the safest move is not to upload.
A decent rule of thumb:
This isn’t a guarantee. Steam bans things for different reasons, and Steam approval doesn’t override Rule 7. It’s just a useful reference point.
Some things are an automatic no.
If a developer:
All of their games get removed. Even the clean ones.
This exists to stop developers from playing dumb while technically complying on paper.
That advice exists to protect you and the site.
Yes, it takes longer. That’s still better than a removal or ban.
Do not:
Removed threads aren’t logged publicly. That’s intentional. The site will never provide a convenient shopping list of banned content.
If something disappears, it violated the rules.
Rule 7 violations can result in:
There is no warning system and no “three strikes.”
Staff decisions on Rule 7 are almost always final. The stakes are simply too high to treat this casually.
Arguments like:
Don’t change outcomes.
Rule 7 isn’t flexible, negotiable, or up for debate.
If you’re an uploader, you’re part of the first line of defense. That means thinking twice, asking questions early, and choosing caution over convenience every time.
Protecting the platform matters more than any single upload.
Link safety is a big part of being an Uploader, we have a responsibility to the large number of users who use the site every day. We need to make sure that we aren't uploading harmful files into threads. It may seem simple but scanning a file can save a lot of headache down the line. Generally, links from developers are safe, but it never hurts to double check. If a link comes from a user, you NEED to make sure the files are clean. kaspersky is a pretty good anti-virus but even something like windows defender works.
In the event users report a bad file, using the history button, revert back to the previous update. If the link came from user make sure to report them to a moderator or staff.
You don't want to make staff mad. One of the easiest ways to get an angry PM or ping on Discord is to title your post wrong. Luckily making your titles correct is pretty easy!
Good Titles:
[Game Name] [v0.5.1] [Author Name]
[Game Name] [v1.0.5 Fixed] [Author Name]
[Game Name] [v0.0.01 BETA] [Author Name]
[Game Name] [2018-07-18] [Author Name]
[Game Name] [Ep. 1] [Author Name]
These are all acceptable title formats. Note that none of them have an extra spacing. Also the removal of the version "v" when its not needed. There shouldn't ever be a period after the "v" examples below.
Bad Titles:
[Game Name][v0.5.1] [Author Name]
[Game Name] [vEpisode 1 ] [Author Name]
[Game Name] [v.0.5.1Fixed] [Author Name]
[Game Name] [0.5.1] [Author Name]
I exaggerated a number of these but they are all incorrect in some way. Some have extra spacing. Some have an extra period after the "v". While others have a "v" that shouldn't. Using the good titles as a guide you should have a pretty solid template on how a post titles should look.
Update:
We've updated uploading rules. In regards to variations in titles, we've set a new standard to be used.
Variations of titles allowed:
[v1.5] | [2018-07-18] | [Ch. 1.5] | [Ep. 1.5] | [Ch. 1-5] | [Ep. 1-5] | [Ch. 2 v3.0] | [v1.0 Alpha]
This means [Chapter 1], [Episode 1], [Ep. 1 to 5] etc are no longer allowed.
It's always good to skim the request section now and then when you're online. Users will sometimes fill request and you need to update or create a thread using the link. After the request is filled please make sure to link the updated or created thread. Then make sure to move the thread to the completed section.
If a user posts a request that does not fit the request thread template, please link the request template.
If the request requires creating a new thread, make sure you let others know you are working on it in the comments to avoid duplicate threads.
Check the Jr. Uploaders Queue, but only if the request requires a new thread and no one is working on it.
If you're unsure if a thread should be rejected, contact an uploader, mod or staff.
As an Jr Uploader you have access to 1 new Queues. Jr Uploader Queue.
An Uploader, Mod or Staff will move a Uploader Queue item to Jr Uploader Queue for you to work on.
Everytime you choose to make one thread make sure to assign that corresponding report to yourself.
Once you're done with that thread and report make sure to mark that report as resolved.
If you can't resolve that report due to something unforeseen just unassign it so another uploader can reject it.
New thread if:
Sequel or Prequel
Major refactoring or remaking of an already established (not 0.1) game
eg; different art style (DAZ<->HS, 2D<->3D, different artist),
different or major changes to story and/or characters, major change to gameplay or engine (open world<->VN) Questions to ask when considering if it's a "major refactor/remake";
Is the developer attempting to abuse the system?
Does the old/original version and remake offer different experiences?
Can they be played/enjoyed independently?
Would the comments and reviews be at all relevant to the remaster?
Keep thread if:
New chapter/episode
Standalone holiday special
In place re-rendering/remastering of images
Minor story/gameplay changes that have no real bearing on the game, don't offer a different experience, and wouldn't be unusual to see in a normal update
Note: When a side story/special features a fetish not contained in the main game, list the fetish in the spoiler rather than adding a new tag to the thread
If you're unsure, ask a mod or staff
