The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

@Turnways_Flip  
OK, I started writing a sympathetic post but I gotta get these out of the way:
 
  1. we’re not playing the “why me? why not him?” game, please do not make me explain why that is a total fallacy…It makes you look like you’re grasping at straws - it hurts your argument, which may already be perfectly rational on its own but you’re ruining it by bringing in not-so-sound reasons.  
    I don’t see any issues with “cool starry bra”. It refers to a specific underwear that some artists have put in their pics.  
    But suppose that wasn’t true, even if it was just a pun for bras with stars, that’d also be okay. We have a bunch of punny or in-joke tags.  
    What’s your beef with it? That it’s only on a few pics? We have tags that are on exactly ONE pic, and yet justified. (No, I think you’re just BSing. :/ )
     
    2-  
    You tagged >>7890 with “rape us punishment”. There is no indication of “punishment” there apart from the fact that DT could be called an antagonist type character.  
    If you’re gonna misuse your own tag then you should not expect any support from me.
     
    So yeah, don’t do stuff like that? (I want to help, but you’re making it kinda diffiuclt to care)
     
    That said! (back to the main topic)
     
    “it’s okay to do it in this case” seems to me highly subjective.  
    For example, on a “public use” pic, who told you that what the townsfolk is doing is okay? Similarly, how do you tell on a “normal” rape pic if the author is or is not on the side of the perpetrator?  
    Look at for example, >>9846 or >>7026. Neither of them fall under “punishment”, at least there is no visible clue there to justify adding that tag. But are you telling me that there is something there that tells you that these clearly depict it as wrong? Heck, both are grinning/apparently enjoying it!
     
    Now, I could see a case for a more filterable/specific “rape” tag, one that only covers the act itself (and not also mentioning/discussing it, ie. the Suggestive content). Though “rape” is currently only on 1400 pics out of 58,000 Explicit ones. (It also does not seem to be clear WHEN something is consensual. A bunch of Eplicit pics could be treated rape-y. So one could, perhaps, limit it to only the types of pics where it is clearly unwanted, and so your wish would be fulfilled too. We’d have to discuss that with the mods tho.)

  1. It was a legitimate question. I didn’t understand the context behind it. I need to ask questions if I’m ever going to figure out how this is supposed to work, you know.
     
  2. It looks to me like, given the fact that she’s wearing the bunny ears, the suggestion is that being raped is supposed to be comeuppance for her behavior in Apple Family Reunion - in that episode, her being made to wear the bunny suit at the end served the same purpose.
     
    “Highly subjective”? How? Absent context, it’s very simple; if a justification is given for why it’s okay to rape this character, and nobody seems upset by this other than the victim, it’s crossed the line.
     
    9846 and 7026 aren’t even relevant. Of course the rapist characters are enjoying it. They’re sadistic rapists. As you just said, however, neither presents any evidence that the rape is considered a punishment for anything, or justified in any way. That doesn’t match. I am only looking at the ones that portray it as justified. The tag is, as tags are supposed to be, about what’s happening in the image, not about the artist’s opinions. Death of the author must apply here. It doesn’t matter if the artist intended to say “it’s okay to rape people as punishment for something”, only if the picture communicates that message.

well, DUH. its the Tag discussion thread, the idea its to improve the site’s tags.
one word should be nuked as well methinks. sounds like a REALY pointless tag.
@barbeque
that sinfuly sexy thing sounds more like “explicit bedroom eyes” to me, kinda pointless, but whatever.
all the “flowers crown” thing should be allised into just ‘flowers on hair’ and leave “wreath” to the christmast thing.
by the by, whats the general tag-mod’s opinion on the boob names for chars? (titlestia, ballona, etc)
i personaly dont like them, should just go whit “big breast” for simplicity.
 
you seem very trigger happy when it comes to aliasing tags you don’t use, have only heard of or don’t like the sound of. for whatever pretty simplistic derpibooru you imagine, i’ll argue the real mess is untagged or vaguely tagged images. aliasing smaller tags into bigger tags only make it harder to find those smaller specific tags.
 
 
@Vree  
@paluzna
I think we don’t have a need to set it at 4 exactly (why 4? why not 5? or 8?) but I think it could be helpful to consider that mouthpiece images (or “old banner”…whatever) are always one complete sentence. (eg. “Kill all men!” is included in this definition but not in yours, so I think approaching it like this is better.
I’d rather define text as several sentences, and words as not a full sentence. (What to use for the in between, I haven’t got a clue.)
 
mouthpiece can have old banners, but old banners don’t necessarily need be mouthpieces. thought i made that clear by now.  
which is the mouthpiece?  
full vs full  
as for text, the related tags are  
one word, dialogue, quote, mouthpiece, caption, image macro, subtitles, metaphor gif, exploitable meme, vulgar,  
i think one word should stay as it is, one word.  
why not just make two words, etc?

Nah, you’re cool.  
Sorry I called “pal”. :p
 
@Background Pony #B3BC  
So who’s gonna be the lucky one to tag all the missing “old banner“s? ^^  
mouthpiece,-old banner
 
(I can also do it. I think once it is properly tagged awareness about “old banner” & use is going to increase too.
 
@Turnways_Flip  
Well at the end of the day I can probably only echo what LoneLampman said: best to tag “punishment” where it is justified (NOT because it’s a villain pic but because it is clearly said so in the pic) and wait for the day when we’ll have complex tag filtering that is able to filter “rape, punishment” or “rape,explicit,punishment” (ie. filter only what falls under those two tags, without completely filtering either tags).

i’ll do some dozen pages for today.  
but i’ve found a few pictures i want to untag as ‘mouthpiece
 
full  
i mean, is this a mouthpiece? i just added ‘motivational’ . should i remove the mouthpiece tag for ones that aren’t sjw? if mouthpiece isn’t exclusive to sjw, then i can only imagine how many caption images and image macros could also mean mouthpiece

@Vree  
what are you apologizing for? it was the first time i heard that one lol
 
 
complex tag filtering will change the world!

im pretty sure that map of earth is pretty fuck’d up…

@Background Pony #D825  
that would be more of a “case by case” thing, depends if the artist meant it as so. like, if he just did it becuse it looked nice or if he was directing that mesague at someone.
 
that last one would be more of a macro, its universal understanding that those are just random internet fuckery. i hope.

Do we have a tag for that persistent joke about Applejack being a “background pony”? If so, what is it? If not, what should it be?

@Turnways_Flip  
Let me demonstrate your problem with two tiny parts of your last comment:
 
  1. It looks to me like…
 
“Highly subjective”? How?
 
In the end it’s only your opinion and your way of interpretation. What you may see as “rape as punishment” may very well be seen differently by others. That’s why this tag has a problem. It’s hard to decide if it’s needed or not on some instances. And just saying “Let’s just ask Turnaway Flips for his opinion” can’t be the answer..
 
As long as you can’t give a clear and objective guideline with good arguments it’s not going to be accepted by people.
 
@Heroine Addict
 
hm, can’t find one. Is it even important anymore? I feel like this joke died long ago.
Background Pony #A68D
@Heroine Addict  
There used to be a tag applejack is a background pony. You can see it in the tag histories for some of the pictures tagged no applejack, for instance. But it looks like there’s some background pony who goes around removing it.

How big did this tag used to be? All I can find are “these”:i.imgur.com/4yYPLyX.png The user you’re seeing in there a lot also did some additions to who's a silly pony and also goddammit adds appledash to pics, then removes the implied lesbian+shipping tags, so… I guess if anyone has some time and wants to make him/her/itself useful, search for appledash,-shipping and either remove the appledash tag or readd the shipping,lesbian stuff again (except for maybe some stupid tags exploitable memes or something).

this seems like a good search to do this, and if you replace the “appledash” tag in the search query with any other popular shipping you’ll find many other pics that miss the “shipping, lesbian/straight/gay/whatever” tags.
 
I also have another question related to shipping tags.  
spoiler because nsfw:  
Futa charakters are basically females with a dick, aren’t they? So, is it right to tag Futa on Futa with the “lesbian” tag, or do we have another tag for this stuff?

Well, if futa characters are female with penises, then futa on futa is female (with penis) on female (with penis) and female on female is called what?  
What I’m getting at is, that definition kind of includes the answer to that question. :P

@barbeque  
I never paid that tag too much attention, so I dunno; that could well be it. It’s not like it was the most broadly applicable tag in the world.
 
Is that “tag changes” page only visible to admins? I’ve been kinda curious how many different people delete unicorn twilight.

@Background Pony #66F9  
Yeah, currently it’s still admin-only. There’s a number of reasons for it, although we (or at least, I) really want to have that page visible for everyone at some point.  
The reasons include not being able to filter out merged images**, not respecting your hidden tags**, and it being enough of a hit on the server as it is.
 
  • = I did look into this, but as of now the server would have to load ALL the images and their current tags for every tagchange, and see whether it needs to be filtered or not, which is extremely expensive. Like I said, it’s fairly slow even with the few mods and admins that can actually access it (probably still missing some index somewhere) so we really can’t handle thousands of people accessing it.  
    It’s not something I can fix easily either – it’d require a rewrite of pretty much the entire way tag changes are handled.
     
    -> unicorn twilight  
    Quite a lot of different people – looking at the 20 most recent removals, I can see 2 Background Ponies and 5 different users spread over the past 2 months – but what was this tag for anyway? I can’t think of it having any use for people that don’t like pt (those can filter pt) and people that don’t mind pt can just search for ts,-pt. Maybe it was for pictures that have multiple twilights, of which at least one princess and at least one unicorn?

artist needed is just an excuse to not look for or tag the artist. It’s counterproductive. Get rid of it.

@dt  
You have a bunch of these angry, useless ideas :I I don’t think you think deeply enough into what purpose the things you diss serve.  

 
I don’t think @dt will care (‘cause I don’t think he makes these suggestions with caring much) but:
 
More often than not, I am the one adding the “artist needed” tag. Many users have absolutely no qualms about uploading pics without any artist tag at all. Trying to blame this on a tag that aids us in actually looking for missing sources/artists is wrong, wrong, and wrong.
 
Try a quick search for images that simply lack an artist tag, too (“-artist:***”) and you’ll see that it is not so easy to simply use that instead because it has more than just pics from unnamed artists. There are a bunch of edits, meta, texts, etc. etc. in there.  
And even if it wasn’t like that, there’s no search to replace the “source needed” sister tag.

@dt  
And what if I told you that I sometimes go into it and try to find some missing artists via google image search? This works better with older posts because google had time to add them to their search. New images are almost never displayed.  
I admit I haven’t done that in a while because other stuff, but still.
 
Please don’t just assume things. just because you don’t care about missing artist-tags doesn’t mean no one does.

@Background Pony #7C65  
Curious indeed, my hunch is that it seems to be a misunderstanding.
 
The first 10 pics it was tagged on are the “ask vinyl and octavia” blog, and it seems probable that it originally stood for that blog only. Then >>107372 where the artist: tag was used wrong; I’m inclined to think that this was a well intentioned mistake too. Then there are a bunch of pictures that had “scratchtavia” added later, so it almost definitely was meant as that tag.  
The interesting ones are those where our named, regular users added this tag, and in fact it is a named uploader that adds it most of the time (there doesn’t seem to be a single tagger/uploader responsible for it). Maybe we could ask them what they intended it for. :p  
(Only person I see actively tagging this later was MaggieXawesomeness and even her only added it to only a couple images.)
 
So yeah, my impression is that this is not a tag people 100% consciously add, they probably just did because it comes up in the drop-down suggestions when they add Vinyl.  
The first 10 pictures could be more correctly tagged as “ask vinyl and octavia” instead, and I’d delete it on the rest of them.

How about sunshaft shimmer or sunset shaft? For Maud it is kinda difficult with such a short name, maudta doesn’t sound right and I can’t think of a pun for this. Maybe Maud’s rod?
