So, first I want to say that this is probably something I'm doing wrong.

I have noticed that despite doing all the things that should allow me to see every single image on this site, I am not seeing as many as the number next to the tag suggests. For example searching for the tag sarah_(the_last_of_us) shows me 12 images, when the number next to the tag says 90 (for me).

Things I have done:
checked the option to display all site content
not checked the option for general only listing
I don't have a single thing in my blacklist
I have ratings set to display everything above -1000
I cleared cache with these settings and relogged after that
disabled adblock

Now, maybe the number next to the tag means something else entirely (like maybe total images uploaded with this tag, with some of them having been deleted since?)

Anyway, I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. Thanks in advance
Gary

That number includes deleted posts. Yes.

Well that explains it. I guess it's the ban on photorealistic images?

Yes. This is an anime focused place after all.
