Haha, okay, cool!
Also, something I've been wondering is whether it would be worth adding additional categories of tags, besides General, Character, Artist and Copyright. Ship might be a good idea since there are so many ship tags. Class might be another, since there seems to be a class tag for every variety of godtier apparel.
On the other hand, I'm not even sure if there's any real practical benefit to sorting tags into categories, beyond differentiating them with colors...

I've been wondering about additional categories for a while now, since it really would be a benefit for shiptags. A majority of them might be confusing for an outsider unaware of them, so it'd help to have a color seperating them.
Class is another good idea, but I see less purpose for it. They don't exactly have the same confusion around them, except for perhaps the "waste", "gent", and "nick" tags, so they wouldn't need the seperate colors as much. If we put one in for that, I'd recommend something like a general Godtier category, for anything related to godtiers (codtier, ducktier, and dogtier included).

Similar to how duplicate works, could we have a blacklisted_artist tag?

It is silly to compare tagging a term commonly used in the comic to refer to a markedly different group of individuals to tagging arbitrary things like "red."

Well I'm not saying that there SHOULDN'T be a "sprite" tag, I'm saying that
1) the previous sprite tag should have first been converted into a "fansprite" tag vel. sim. (I think non-fansession hypothetical or AU things like "Johnsprite" oughta be included too)
2) "because someone might want to see all of them" is a bad reason for having a sprite tag
3) "because sprite is a common thing with all of those" is a bad reason for having a sprite tag
Yeah, I nitpick about logic even when I mostly agree with the conclusion, bite me. ;b

Why no upset feelings over the Felt tag which works in the exact same manner? I'm genuinely curious. Never once has the Felt tag been compared to the color red or glasses.

It has been tho, in the past on Skaia.

For users, yes — as long as they have some degree of completeness. Having a complete "glasses" tag, a "red" tag, etc. in fact would be helpful. The best reason not to have those or similar ones is that nobody is being paid to go thru 70000 images every time someone has the idea that "alternian_window" or "computer" or "group_of_five" should possibly be a tag, & incomplete tags are not very useful. (There was an episode on Skaianet where someone untagged John from a hundred or so old pics - you can imagine that, from the user's POV, this just about amounts to deleting them.)

Nothing objectionable about this.

Yeah, I think those should be monochrome. Limited palette should be for things in like red + off-yellow + teal (usually it's done on purpose, but then there are also several pics that are "color-coded monochrome").

…we can do that??
Could we change the sketchdump tag to sketch_dump? For some reason, the lack space on that tag bothers me?
EDIT:No one have any objections of me changing the above?

^ I'm fine with either.
I'd like to start tagging the Dave outfit with the red-and-white record shirt. Does anyone have any name suggestions? If not, I'm just going to go with lohacse_outfit.

Okay, as a suggestion for Meenah's modtier outfits... Well, exactly that: modtier. I guess we may want to keep it to canon variants though? Thoughts?

I think a tag for that shirt already exist. I think it was labeled as red_sleeves something like that. I can't recall who created that tag though.
I thought there was one called record_shirt?

As the guy who introduced the "monochrome" tag I guess I better step up to the plate on this one.
I originally envisioned monochrome to be pictures in just black and white or with shades of grey. However, I can see in retrospect that I should have named it "greyscale" instead. (Before clarifying the definitions, I had this strange notion that with "greyscale", shades of grey were MANDATORY, and it couldn't just be pure black and white.)
The only thing I can say in my defense re: "monochrome" is that it says right there on the Wikipedia page (our ageless pillar of objective truth and guidance) that "the term monochrome is usually taken to mean the same as black and white or, more likely, grayscale". But then the page goes right on to say that monochrome "may also be used to refer to other combinations containing only tones of a single color" so this is a Pretty Weak Defense you guys. It's the best I got though.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochrome
So do you think we should add a greyscale tag to all the b&w monochrome pictures?
So it is! But that's a lousy tag for it since Dave's original short-sleeve shirt is a record shirt. I think red_sleeves_shirt is a much better tag. I guess the only problem is that it is going to be one hellva pain to tag them all since that article of clothing dominates Dave's images.
Also does anyone else have no objections to me changing sketchdump to sketch_dump?

Merchandise wise, in the Topatco store, it is called the broken_record_shirt with the original just being record_shirt, right? That would serve to differentiate.
That being said, yeah, I feel kind of weird tagging it since it's Dave's most common piece of clothing by far, far more common than his starter shirt which might be more useful to tag.
No objections to the sketchdump nameswitch here.

Okay! All sketchdump tags have beed switched to sketch_dump
