General Tag Discussion

What is the difference between the tags edited vector and vector edit? Isn’t it the one and same thing?

@Markiz93  
Looks like “vector edit” is always a vector, but “edited vector” is sometimes a bitmap based on a vector. I do agree tho, the two tags need to be merged, or better distinguished.

@LightningBolt  
Hey Lightning, I saw when you were cleaning up misapplied ‘gay’ tags that you hit some safe pics with ‘solo male’. I’m assuming that was accidental overspill from a bunch of not!safe pics you were editing tags on?

@LightningBolt  
Because straight is one hell of a seemingly oft-forgotten tag…

@DoesNotExist  
You are correct. You have my permission to fix any. Sorry about that.

Huh, weird thing is, they slip past my “solo male & safe” filter, and I have to remove the tag twice. First time just makes the filter catch them again.

Would someone consider un-implying bondage from straitjacket? It doesn’t seem like those two things automatically go hand in hand often enough to justify an implication.

@Background Pony #3A6A  
Mind, bondage’s use on the site is as literal as “being restrained”, which a straitjacket in most of the images cases accomplishes. Unless you’re referring to something else?

@Dragonpone  
I see. I can’t help but think we should have picked a better generic term for a character being restrained, seeing how “bondage” as a term has largely been swallowed up by fetish art.

@Background Pony #3A6A  
I suppose unsexy bondage fills that role, though naturally it’s vastly undertagged.

Does anybody know if we have a tag for that thing like a long strip of cloth that hangs between someone’s legs? Like what Rarity’s wearing here.

Failing that, does anybody know if it has a name?

@Frustration in Excelsis  
A loincloth?

@Princess Luna  
Does that count as a loincloth though?

@LightningBolt  

 
Jizz from futas counts as what?  
Also, cum-on-self is masuturbation and has no direct relation to gay/straightness.

@Background Pony #F3C9  
Futa is considered its own separate sex here on DB, and that means a futa character cannot participate in “gay”, “straight”, or “lesbian” action any more than a male character can participate in “lesbian”. The relevant action-orientation tags are “futa on female”, “futa on male” and “futa on futa”.

princess shining armor should not imply rule63 and should be merely an alias of prince shining armor, not princess gleaming shield.  
The reasoning is that some ponies (especially in transhumanist circles) use the term “princess” for alicorns irregardless of gender, and anyone uploading rule63 is not likely to forget the correct tag. Compare princess big mac.

@Background Pony #D4AA  
Not gonna lie, that’s a pretty dumb reasoning.

@Background Pony #D4AA  
Problem with that reasoning, I’m looking at the tag history for Princess Gleaming Shield and I don’t see evidence that there’s been any confusion around that tag being aliased. If there was, I’d expect to see a lot of additions to pictures of Prince Shining Armor followed by a swift removal after whoever added it realized what it was aliased to.
 
As for Princess Big Mac, that was a joke that came from a conversation between M.A. Larson and Peter New (Big Mac’s voice actor) shortly after Twilight’s ascension became known.

There is a serious need to fix the subway tag as it is tagged more as a transportation that a sandwich.

The new pony life short Fashion Failure needs a yellow tag
 
 
@DR35  
Maybe make a separate tag for it?  
Maybe something like “Subway (food)”?

@icey wicey 1517  
I was thinking more of “Subway sandwich” as the food while “subway” is the vehicle.

@DR35  
You’d also need a “subway (restaurant)” tag, because some of the pictures under that tag just have the Subway Restaurant logo but no actual sandwich.
 
And the “subway” tag currently implies “food”, so if we retooled it to refer to subterranean train systems, one of the mods will need to change the tag implications.

@radpanic  
Makes sense.

@DR35  
The transport system is already covered by metro , but don’t confuse with metro store!
