That’s actually pretty good.

@noobiestbrony  

 
I’m just going to ignore all the drama in the comments and concur with this statement here.

@Lunarchow  
ZONESS can also remove all the improper shipping tags. Sounds like he’s already doing that. Maybe tell him to double his effort if he’s so damn eager. Noobiestbrony just made a relevant point.

@Lunarchow  
I could, but I wont be here 24/7 to do it on all the new images. In my opinion it should be laid out so no one makes the same mistake I did. But, hey, that’s just me.

@noobiestbrony  
Y’know you could do that yourself. That’s why users have tag editing.

@ZONESS  
The edit is unnoticeable. But I admit defeat. Still, all others should be edited if this is the case.

@Lunarchow  
If that’s the rule then all unedited screencaps with shipping tags need to be removed. It’s not fair to do it on one image yet not the others.

@noobiestbrony  
The first image was an edit and the second two probably should have had their shipping tags removed.

Don’t add the shipping tags back.

Here are several examples of unaltered screencaps with shipping tags.

We’ll see what the mods say. If the rules don’t explicitly state it, then it’s unnecessary to remove the tags. If they do, they need to be enforced. Also, I am not at all trying to be disrespectful if I have sounded as such, and apologize if I have.

@noobiestbrony  
Fine, I’ll report the image and let the moderators sort this out. As I have said, it’s my understanding that shipping tags do not belong on unaltered screen captures from the show and I have had a few discussions with some of the moderators to back that up, but it is true that I’ve never actually seen that rule spelled out anywhere.

@ZONESS  
You really need to learn a bit about tagging.

@Omegastyle  
The original poster is not the one who added those tags. And the original poster often has their tags removed and changed by users when it is deemed they have added incorrect tags.

@ZONESS  
No, you leave them be. I’m pretty sure I know what I’m doing.

@Omegastyle  
OP did not, I added them. He either forgot them or did not intend to add them. When people make collages of screencaps with two characters showing one another affection or simply in a seemingly intimate situation, the shipping tags are applied. This has been the case for countless images on this site, whether the screencap in question makes a reference to shipping or not. Here are some examples I will fetch.

@noobiestbrony  
Nope. And I’m serious about the tags. Leave them be.

@ZONESS  
Doesn’t matter what you say. The same law for all, if op inserts shipping tags, then they have the right to stay.  
So stop fucking remove the tags.

@ZONESS  
You’re new here, aren’t you?

@Omegastyle  
Spike’s romantic feelings towards Rarity are well established part of the series. Whether Rarity reciprocates those feelings or not is a matter of debate, but as far as Spike is concerned, the Sparity tag is applicable to any screen captures with the two interacting in a suitably intimate fashion.

@ZONESS  
Then go, and do it even with Sparity screen captures.

I can’t get over how much I really, really love these two together. Hopefully we get more of this duo. <3

@noobiestbrony  
I removed them. Shipping tags do not belong on unaltered screen captures from the show or comics with the exception of a few canonical instances of in universe romance. This isn’t opinion, it is site policy as far as I have been made aware.

Whoever keeps removing the shipping tags, stop.
