bad source

A post whose source doesn't directly link to the image or page where the image is from. This includes redirect links and links to an artist's gallery or profile page.

  • https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/1234/artworks
  • https://twitter.com/noguy/media
Redirect links
  • https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=longurl

This tag is automatically added to posts for sites that Cosbooru recognizes, and cannot be removed from those posts. It can be freely added or removed to posts for sites Cosbooru doesn't recognize.
