duplicate

A post that is the same or inferior to an already existing post.

Duplicates should not be confused for the following:

  • image sample, an image typically used by sites to load images faster.
  • md5 mismatch, an post that has a different md5 from the file at the source.
  • revision, a post that has been revised by the artist from a previous version.
  • scan, a post that has been scanned from another source.

A few cases where the tag applies:

Before you upload something, check if it has already been uploaded by using the IQDB image search or the "Find similar" button.

Most duplicates are tagged manually; only pixel-perfect duplicates are tagged automatically. There is no automated system in place to accurately tag non pixel-perfect duplicates given how easy it is to confuse them for the above (with the exception image samples where the original is already uploaded).

Notes:
  • Do not flag a duplicate post for deletion if your only reason is that the post is a duplicate.
  • Don't add the duplicate tag on posts with visual differences (revisions, textless versions etc.).
  • Avoid uploading visually identical posts.
    • Check for differences with DuplicateBooru if you are unable to confirm with your own eyes.

Related tags

Not to be confused with multiple sources, although they may overlap sometimes.

  • multiple sources is about outside sources -- it means that multiple copies are available outside AIBooru.
  • duplicate is about AIBooru -- it means that we have multiple copies of the same image.
