Jesus Christ kid, what are you, 12?

Oh, gee. Now I remember seeing it like, well, probably 5 times using Gmail, when I replied to stuff using the reply function itself. But I delete the quoted part. I referred to noob visitors probably being REAL 12 year olds, or at least young teens not really accustomed to IT and stuff like the plain concept of tag negation.

And I'm sorry for not being old and experienced enough to know much about newsgroups, Usenet, AOL or IRC channels at the age of 25, being in a central european country which mostly had dial-ups up until the early 2000s, and being accustomed to the internet proper in around 2004. Also, I was a regular only on a few forums, I used IM much more.
(For the boring record, I had a Commodore 64, then a 80486DX2 80MHz back before 2000, both were presents from relatives or neighbors, since we couldn't afford a Celeron or Pentium. Used both Norton Commander and the CLI, typing CD and DIR *.* everyday. Even edited autoexec.bat. Win 3.1 was sweet ass. Yawn. Yeah, probably I'm 12.)

Fortunately I don't feel the need to visit 4chan, but based on my limited exposure, I find that it generally sucks. Moreover, I despise the mentality over /b/, and since they love to
>greentext
>even
>every
>word
to mock, dissect and use irony on the argument and/or the argument's owner, it's not that weird I associate greentexting with mockery and sarcasm.

Instead of knowing the origins of greentexting in the US internet culture, I know about Delphi programming and regex syntax. But I don't question your age even if you happen to be not knowing about these.

And I'm an agnostic, Jesus Christ probably does exist. Btw nice unique rank there.

And as for ILM:
I don't know what is the relation between my avatar, which I uploaded 2 years ago when watching Asobi ni Ikuyo with that catgirl, and between my explanation of my point. Let's not stereotype each other by what images we prefer to look at, kay? If I would have a lot of cash, I would buy any artbook by Sayori or Tinkle, and the latter doesn't draw any stupid, naked stuff, just pure, high-quality shit with frills and other nice details.
I don't like when the "you are still on that level to actually enjoy looking at drawn animu girls bending" people pops up. Especially because they usually try to use that bullshit to devaluate any logically sound and sane argument. But I might change my avatar finally to something more intellectual, like that guy from Durarara. Enuff said.

Okay, take this crap to the offtopic thread or somewhere else (preferably the latter). Or I'm going to get angry; and you won't like me when I'm angry.

Jerl is Buckley. Everyone knows this. Words are his waifu.






Sites that still use it are free to do so, maybe they aren't as strict about how this goes. That's fine, I was never concerned about what people who don't influence what we do here are doing.



I'm aware that this is a joke, but you honestly do not understand how lucky you got.

If this were Danbooru, they'd laugh at you and probably ban you around this point for still going on about it.



The website doesn't change the fact that saying something without examples to back it up makes saying it at all pointless.



I'd argue that the site is plenty user friendly, it's not rocket science and you'll probably understand it in a few hours if you aren't being silly.



We don't need a million tags to cover something one tag does just fine and we don't need several tags to cover something a tag combination can find.



That's like what, five seconds if you're terrible at typing? It's literally one key more.

And it's not even intuitive since if it WAS a tag, it would be covered under the tags we already kept.

The same goes for the "fellatio under covers" tag that you suggested.



Since we're playing the assumptions game, we can also assume someone who's looking for X would look for a character who's has those features and go from there.

In fact, this whole argument is silly.

>Someone who first visits Gel might not know the Japanese name of their favorite character, therefore we should use the english names

>Someone who first visits Gel might not understand the breast scale so we should just tag everything with breasts and nothing more

>Someone who first visits Gel might not understand that from behind DOESN'T MEAN THE SEXUAL POSITION HOLY FUCK so we should just let them keep shitting up the tag

It's a slippery slope and it doesn't make sense at all. You learn to adapt and you move on. You don't demand that a system that works fine change because you are unwilling to learn.



Well-intentioned implies they're doing anything other than being lazy.

They aren't.

There are plenty of people who have had their questions answered without people snarking because they're asking questions that couldn't be solved with one search.



If they can't figure out that girls who might be called catgirls would have the cat_ears tag on the image, then they should just sit in a corner somewhere because that's like beyond stupid.

You say it is pointless because it is an alternative way to find stuff. I don't (wouldn't) find it pointless.





It's quoting, as Gyro covered.

/b/ didn't invent it and I have never been to /b/, so

You can take the /v/irgin out of /v/, but you can't take /v/ out the /v/irgin



This is the second time you've made this assumption, but have absolutely nothing to back it up with.

When I nuked the tag, I took the time to point people in the right direction.

It's been several months now, everyone knows which tag is the right one.

The fact that nothing has been tagged with catgirl in about half a year proves you wrong. If it were a massive issue, people would be using the wrong tag all the time. This doesn't happen.

The same goes for schoolgirl. Sure, it shows up, but we point people to the right tag and it stops.

This isn't nearly as big of a thing as you're making it.

We shouldn't build the tagging system around the users, it's in everyone's best interests to LEARN how to use it properly and changing easy to find tags just because one in sixty is too dense to figure it out helps no one.



The burden of proof is on you, though. You've made the claim, you should be able to back it up.

But, I did your work for you. According to Dan, there are thirty four pages of images with the cat tail tag and no cat ears tag. At least two pages of that are simply missing the right tag, about seven pages have fake animal ears, which one would reckon you'd want to see if you were looking for X girl and not being picky anyway.

This shows that there simply isn't a need for the tag because it's already covered any you can find whatever you're looking for with a minus.





At least the first page has a few useful threads on it, even if it's been slightly derailed.

Maybe someone will find it and actually need some help.

No one else ever answered my object head tag question, so bringing us back on topic with that

I guess head variant could work too, since it's the literal translation or something.

I'm totally done now, I promise

Stop. Now. This topic is about subjective tag discussion, not page-long quotes dissecting the minutiae of each other's posts.

This last reply by Baroness (although malformatted regarding the quote blocks) was actually the kind of reply I hoped for all the way. Explaining the stuff about building or not building the tag system around the userbase. I guess it boils down to the fact that I would make a more idiot-friendly system, and the mods wouldn't. It's pretty much settled, now that Baroness elaborated on it, she actually had a point, not saying stuff like "redundant tags are useless", and didn't dismissed my ideas as being bad in themselves because of some arcane tagging ideology.

And didn't wanted to derail the thread. But hey, this probably generated some of the longest comments here which aren't tag lists.
About the Danbooru stuff: if they would ban me because I would argue with logically sound assumptions, that would tell something about them, not me. Arguing isn't bad generally, if done in a well-intentioned manner. Okay, I'm giving back this thread to questions about individual random tags.

So thanks, Jerl, Baroness.

So much for staying on topic~

what should we do about dark_penis? it seems kinda redundant with dark_Skin and penis.

Not exactly. The tag "dark_penis" is only to be used when the penis is darker than the rest of the body. "dark_skin", on the other hand, refers to a character's entire body's skin tone. This can be interpreted to mean that "dark_penis" and "dark_skin" are mutually exclusive.

Even if they are not, though, since there isn't any way to further narrow it down, you are likely to find one image that would have been tagged "dark_penis" every few pages at most. Likewise, it's impossible to blacklist

Danbooru uses the tag. It makes little sense to break it down when doing so wouldn't actually help anything.
