Um. Sorry if this is the wrong thread. And sorry. Chances are existant I've bothered someone or will with this...

I love how tags can be so amusing with minimal... Oh right! Reading comprehension! Apple Bloom, not Applebloom. Grey Hoof, not Greyhoof. Most pony characters are the only examples of the names used. You probably don't get it. Adding _(mlp) to characters lacking presence outside of My Little Pony is redundant. The very concept insults the users' very intellect. Apparently, we were incapable of realizing it was My Little Pony by the "my_little_pony" tag.

There are also those who gripe about MLP related things like it isn't their own fault for seeing most of it. I never even use a blacklist, yet I avoid unwanted tags rather easily. Try searching for your interests, rather than unthinkingly complaining about something you don't want to see. Add the tag (or 3) you want and add -my_little_pony. I hate whiners, so the ignoring of such simple steps truly irks.

Know what you want, know what you don't, search, and be done with it. There is no need for "_(mlp)" and now you've been given my logic on why. Spike, royal guard, and maybe a few others. They actually need that extra. The vast majority don't. Come on...

Agreed/


The "_(mlp)" defines them as specifically being the MLP characters, in the case of another character wuith the same name appearing, it prevents that from bleeding into the same character and a separation needing to be done -after- the fact. It's just good common sense to distinguish them before it's necessary. And while yes, there are some names that are 'obviously' MLP only, there are cases where weirder names have been applied elsewhere. There's also the fact that it keeps the naming convention consistant across all aspects (Since multiple characters with the same name are denoted as <character>_(<origin>) ).


Not sure if this is the right thread. But i'm really glad with Hexxy being back to how he was. I didn't like the demonic one greetings me. x3

Can we put a link to the user listing in the name change request tickets?


Answered tickets should be reflected in mod actions.

I don't understand why.


You wanted someone who knows how to use ruby on rails?, I can use it but the question is what will I get for doing it for you?

I'm right here dude.. No need to step on anyone's toes here.


Every once in awhile i go though the most recent posts while having "rating:q" enabled for the search, most of the time its ok.. but recently a bunch of "approved" pictures got through with visible lower genitalia...and i don't mean partially hidden or hard to see stuff...

Examples: (Note: rating is Explicit now because i changed it, however it was rated Questionable and approved by moderators.)

Now i know being a mod is hard work and i appreciate the work they do... but up until now its only been one picture every, couple of weeks that slips through, not so many at once. you guys need some coffee? lol

Wait what? Are you implying that those images should not have been approved, or that it's the mods' jobs to make sure their ratings are always accurate? Because neither of these things are correct. It's the uploader's responsibility to apply the correct rating when uploading it, and the *Community's* (mods and users) responsibility to add tags and correct ratings. Questionable is the default rating when posting, and sometimes people can forget to change it. It's not a big deal, just fix it when you see it.


ippiki_ookami said:

no, im just saying that it might help if 'everyone' kept an eye out for such things. I'll just keep doing what ive been doing, checking from time to time and applying the fix's when i see it. I do alot of that, i look for Tag vandalism as well as note vandalism, and wrong ratings. everyone makes mistakes, but considering two of those posts you could see the guys junk from the thumbnails let alone having to click on them... im just saying, this is the feedback forum, here is my feedback, everyone should pitch in, not just the posters. I am not sure how things are "approved" like if you have to actually click the thumbnail to do it, but when you approve it, maybe just a quick glance to make sure its all in order. as i said, from time to time ive found, maybe 1 post like this out of 20 posts, but recently it was a handful. and ive found ones with "explicit tags" like "penis" without the Explicit rating from way back when. I have every respect for you and the other mods. I just prefer to keep XXX in the XXX section. don't want to pull up the site for my friend or something, type in Rating:q, or Rating:s and have them see stuff they would rather not.


Really, really crazy idea here...

But is there any way for a blacklist or search containing -rating:e to not only remove explicit images, but explicit advertisements as well?

I know nothing about the site's programming, and the coding for advertisement probably has nothing to do with the tag system so that kind of functionality would probably require a shit ton of rewriting. I'm also aware that it runs up against the whole Varka/Bad Dragon technically owning the site...

But again, it's just a crazy idea.

Edit: Maybe a "safe mode" that the user can toggle on and off would be much more straightforward and efficient...

I will talk to nemekh about generating sfw codes for e621

Feature request:
When you upload something to e621, but leave the "source" field blank, e621 should automatically put the file name in the source field.

Just wanted to say that I like the new hexagon background; and I apologize if it's not "new", I don't check the site every day (or even every week) ^^


It is new, fuckin' sweet~

Also, wasn't something special supposed to happen on e621 for christmas or new year's?

Who said it's gonna be on e621?


On post pages, shortened Pool names should expand when you mouseover (similar to source?) maybe with fallback to a "title" attribute.

It totally should :3


hmm, i thought of something that might cut back on these derps that flag out of dislike of images, or thinking they are wrong or illegal or whatever. has e621 ever used a checkbox that says "i have read and agree to the rules of *insert whatever here*" that they have to check before they are allowed to comment, post, flag, et cetra?

The FFD check box can have a link that takes them directly to the FFD rules, same with comments and posting though with posting would also include a link to the DNP section.

heck maybe the rules pops up in a little window and you have to scan to the bottom of the page before it allows you to click agree?

cuz i swear these people are mostly all newcomers to the site and its like "I reject your rules and substitute my own!" lol

An extra checkbox and link to the FFD rules may be a good idea, but I'm not so sure that the newness of FFD abusers is why.

After looking at the past two weeks of records, I'm seeing 8 FFD records, but only 3 of them are for users who are "newer" than 4 months. Of those 3, it appears one was deliberately abusing FFD and harassing the admins.

I know two weeks isn't much of a sample size, but from that sample there doesn't appear to be a clearly defined pattern of newbies making this specific error. It might be interesting to dig further into the records list to see if this holds up.

An extra click on a checkbox would serve as another mechanism to confirm "yes, I really mean to do this", and it may help to dissuade someone from abusing the FFD feature, regardless of how long they've been a member. That may be enough justification if the change is simple enough, but I'd also say it's up to the admins whether they feel "casual" FFD abuse is common enough to warrant a change to the system.


This has been brought up before. It was decided that there weren't enough to warrant changing code for it, especially in a way that isn't likely to actually deter anyone.
