Topic: Advanced Policy Discussions: Implicative/Conjunctive/Redundant/Mutually-exclusive tag usage [mouseover for simple title]

AKA: 1. Tagging things not there, 2. Using 2+ tags to replace 1 tag, 3. Using 'redundant' tags, 4. Assuming only 1 tag from a related set is applicable

[incomplete]

Ok this isn't completed, but might as well bring these up in one place while I'm at it in the hopes it'll generate positive discussion and we can come to a useful conclusion about this

-----
It seems some [citation needed] members are of the opinion:

  • 2. Using multiple tags are an adequate replacement, or even better in a situation where one tag can be made
    • eg. [too many to list right now without going through a bunch of forum posts, TBU]
    • forum #183087 - Tag Alias: clothed_female_nude_male -> cfnm (Feb. 2016)
  • 4. Posts only require at most 1 tag from a set of similar tags to accurately identify the theme of the tag
    • e.g. only tagging one breast size, only one physical age description (young OR adult OR old etc.
    • Somewhat of an interesting case - semi-anthro, which is used for characters that display both 'anthro' and 'feral' qualities

Why?
