"Horrible" tag?

In category: Tags and Wiki

Is this a valid tag? it's purely negative, and almost never used.

The comics that it is associated with are actually really well drawn. :/


Also I'd like to make a spectacle of this user's comments.

they're pretty negative, about 90% of them have nothing nice to say about the pictures he/she comments on.

Im not trying to start a flame war or anything but judging by the frequency of the tag "empa" I think it may be an alt account. Just saying. Might want to have an admin check it out, make sure she isn't just using it to evade hostility from admins.

Hopefully I don't get targeted by empa's fans when they read this and flamed or whatever -- oh wait.


I don't think "horrible" applies to anything on this site. It's subjective and not very accurate


There's also disgusting, wrong, grotesque etc. etc.

Think they should all be aliased to invalid tag?


-Grotesque is legitimate. I describes grotesque imagery but we already have a tag for that.
-Wrong, it's abused and serves a similar function to What has science done, what, why and the like.
-Disgusting is way too subjective. Especially given our context

the what tag has been used frequently though, and a lot of the images are actually pretty what-worthy.

What is a hard to control but very well placed tag. I'm suggesting the tags titianchkt mentioned should be merged into some of the ones I mentioned.


No, to answer your question. Horrible is not a valid tag.

And yes, netto is empa. But that's fine since no ban evasion is occurring.

The more I wade through this drama pool the more references to cruxes and erk I'm seeing. How odd.


Also, do we really need a pixiv tag? Not that I have any problem with it, but the same effect can be achieved with source:*pixiv*, though the former would probably be a bit easier on the server

People don't always put a source. But I think we don't need it like we need tumblr


Like furaffinity or inkbunny, the site should only be a tag when it's a prominent component of the image


Right, like tumblr always having the ask XXX pane
oh and it's your turn sir double post phobe


And there's the pretty tag

Oh, you're right, I see what you did there


Yeah my tag limit went back up. Anything else?
