Yeah to the peeps introducing all the random action and angle and location tags you might have to be on top of those cause they seem most likely to be overlooked.

That's probably all me. And they're all in "my tags" so I don't miss 'em.

I should have mentioned I'm slowly working my way through the posts from the very beginning, taggin' what wants taggin'. And also filling my villainous lair with cache after cache of post #s for tags I want to add in the future, so that when I introduce a new one and you say "you better go back and tag that shit from the beginning" I can laugh like a maniac and bellow "IT IS ALREADY SO"

So I noticed we have a few dirk/karkat pictures...

Should we give it a shipname y/n?

:U I'm not against tags I just want this place like... clean instead of messy?


Yeah that's all.

Also yeah go let the shipping name thread know. I think we have enough to warrant one.

I have the feeling this has been brought up before, but the tags "lemmy_telya" and "let_me_tell_you_about_homestuck" seem to be experiencing some confusion and ambiguity.

Shouldn't "lemmy_telya" be a character tag just for the original grumpy black guy, and "let_me_tell_you_about_homestuck" should be for any image that draws on that general meme? Like, posts such as post #2985 and post #18130 shouldn't be tagged "lemmy_telya", isn't that right?

We originally used "lemmy_telya" in place of "let_me_tell_you_about_homestuck" because it made tagging/looking for it much easier. I dunno how exactly we're running it now, but that sonds like a good plan for now.

Another suggestion, but should we have an "animated_at_source" tag or at least something similar? Maybe a pool for it could work...

e: Maybe we should tag the rings too, make a "ring" tag.

Hey guys, a reminder to please mark any questionable images properly! I just went through the Undergarments pool and marked a bunch of images as such.

Also, by the way, should we be tagging certain troll ships as incest? Stuff like Karkat/Kankri, Porrim/Kanaya and Nepeta/Meulin? Now I do know incest isn't a thing in troll society, but neither is troll quadrants or blackrom for humans. (Yes the quadrants are based off aspects of love, but humans don't have the concept of quadrants themselves, and blackrom is pretty much abusive/getting off abuse which is not really a thing we have either [though in the end I guess it depends how you interpret blackrom or not...]) Incest also functions as a trigger tag, and we need to be sure to tag images correctly as such to help people with blacklisting and similar. And regarding troll/troll incest, do remember that the Alternians and Beforus trolls are genetically related by their ectobiological slime (at least IIRC), and if that's not the case then do remember that they 1. share last names 2. share horns, signs and blood colors, (especially important regarding the Vantases, Maryams and Peixeses!), 3. I am not too sure about this one, but I believe at one point it was mentioned that in troll society, horn, blood and sign sharing mean genetic relation, and 4. also not too sure about this one, but Vriska mentioned at one point that signs and blood colors are connected so that may have a hand in all this genetic relation stuff, so as far as I'm concerned we should tag troll/troll as incest REGARDLESS of whether it exists in troll society or not, but what are your guys' stances on this? (Ugh that's a lot of text)

I guess it would depend how people who block the incest tag actually feel about it? I don't think those relationships give off the same feeling necessarily or necessarily inspire disapproval in people who disapprove of say john/jade or dave/rose, but then again incest doesn't bother me either so idk.

IMPORTANT BUSINESSTAG: I added "native_source" for images that seem to have been uploaded directly by the artist, not hosted anywhere else on the web. It's a good way to deal with Flaxseed's giant art dump, and also covers that manip I did of English eating a Clover sandwich.

I'm letting you guys know in case you've ever done any art, manips, graphs, etc. which you've uploaded directly here onto the site. Better to tag them "native_source" than to leave them without a source tag (which will eventually mean someone'll come along and tag them "source_needed" without knowing better).

Could we possibly change it to something like "MSPABooru_original" or the like? There's still a "skaianet_original" tag from when the same policy was in effect on the old board and I'm hoping we can have some consistency there.

I didn't know that. But why not just change those to "native_source" in the name of consistency with all the other "_source" tags? Want me to do that?

Especially because people who are new to the booru aren't even necessarily going to know the name of the old site anyway. The meaning of "skaianet_original" might not be clear to them.

I'd rather keep the skaianet_original tag in for historical sake. Just add 'native_source' in addition to 'skaianet_original' to them if we're going for that particular name. It's not like any new images are getting added to that tag anyway.

Oh, I wouldn't want to add a tag that didn't actually convey any new information... Still, I'm more in favor of consistency with tags we're using currently (broken_source, deleted_source, inexact_source, partial_source, private_source, and sometimes forum_source) than consistency with a tag that's basically frozen. How about this? I'll change the eight images tagged "skaianet_original" to "native_source", but in the Source field (which would otherwise be empty) I'll put "skaianet original". That way, those to whom it means something will still be able to appreciate the fact that those eight images are Skaianet relics, but the tags will be streamlined for more utility. Best of both worlds, no?

If you could search by source it would be, but as far as I know that isn't the case. The putting the original tag in the source field would be a fair substitute for 'mspabooru_original' though. Just slap that in the source field for the current native source images (-skaianet_original of course) and I'm sated there.
