@Zharkaer  
Thank you. Contacted the one behind it. Hopefully they’ll get the message. If you see it happening again, please report it.
 
As for the tags themselves: Most of the clothing ones technically apply. They aren’t needed or required on the image, but not a big deal if thy’re on there. But tagging things like window or escalator when they’re not a focus of the image, or butterfly/jewel, or clothes of a character off in the distance. Yeah, feel free to remove those.

What is the tag tinyface for? As far as I can tell, it’s only ever been added by Onerandomaccount, which might violate rule 2.7.?

@dt  
Shitposting, maybe? I figured it was similar to the woll smoth one, but it has nothing to do with it.

@dt  
@Deserter  
The only connection I’m seeing is it’s mostly focused on a couple of artists. And has nothing to do with any small faces, urls, or any similarity among the images. So… removing it.
 
Edit: Also aliased it into woll smoth so hopefully it will be easier to notice if it’s tagged on the wrong images now.

@Zeb  
Tinyface refers to this face:  
•c•
 
There’s different variations of it, but it’s often seen in. ShinodaGE’s works as a sort of inside joke or “Where’s Waldo” for his fans. So it is not on any dirt if way relating to shitposting. Even I on the Pony Town website you can find it.

@Binkyt11  
Ahhh. Well. Now I know the tag is actually referring to something. But, I’m not really sure we need a tag specifically for an really tiny easter egg on one artist’s works. But I’ll think about restoring it since I know it’s not just random nonesense now.

Well I know that other artists (especially those who join the Saturday streams) and in some Pony Town snapshots they use them as well.  
 
(This was from a while ago, but it’s there. Also I used a different tag with the face.)
 
Though while I understand, I can confirm it’s something that Shino, Aggie, and their fans do this for fun. And it’s become very popular among them.  
For Example…

What should we call Spider Celestia?

@Meanlucario  
Does that really need a name?

@Dragonpone  
Yes. I need more of it in my life.

@Meanlucario  

 
Arachnalestia?
 
I’m only half-serious.

@Vinyl Fluff  
Like Sunspider being half-pony?

The image itself doesn’t have anything to do with drama, why is it being tagged with it?

@Background Pony #EC55  
Probably because it’s about Starlight. And people in the comments are arguing about Starlight.

@Zeb  
I thought tags were supposed to describe the image, not the comments. Wasn’t the “drama in the comments” tag destroyed as well?

@Background Pony #EC55  
Indeed.

Should images where single characters are clearly interacting like in these:  
 
>>1371147t (deleted)  
 
Get the solo or duo tag? Or neither?  
I’d generally default to ‘solo’, but there’s a not-insignificant portion of them tagged ‘duo’.

@Dragonpone  
Ponies and their EG counterparts should probably be tagged as duo, since they’re technically different characters (unless stated otherwise)

@Zharkaer  
Makes sense. That leaves what to do with pure pony/pony interactions.

@Dragonpone  
I’d say: Where the characters are clearly interacting with eachother. Go with Duo, or multeity or too much pink energy is dangerous, whichever tag is appropriate for the number/situation/characters.
 
In cases like this:  

 
I’d say the solo tag does apply. Since it’s only the one character. And multiple images of her just happen to be on the same picture.

@Zeb  
Yeah, I figured ‘solo’ would apply to the montage type images, but I’ll be sure to tag ‘duo’ on the interacting ones then.  
~Also we apparently have two multeity pinkie tags.

@Dragonpone  
Not anymore~

@Zeb  
I’m glad you kept the best one. :D

@Zeb  
We’ve also got the same multeity situation with Scootaloo.
