Topic: Let's talk about TWYS, Lore Tags, and descriptions.

Drama is a red herring, and we shouldn't allow the system to be held hostage by it. Many of the drama mongers appear to not only fail to understand TWYS, but have no interest in understanding TWYS, or worse, have a commitment to not doing so.

While there is often some ambiguity about TWYS as it applies to a particular image involved, their misunderstanding of TWYS seems to be largely their responsibility.

(conversely, I think e621 may have some responsibility to make clearer the related fact that 'e621 is an archive, not your personal gallery')

While you may not have intended to place lore tags on a level with normal tags, I think injecting lore tags into the normal tagging system has that effect.

Lore information is never going to be as reliable as TWYS tagging, just out of pure logistics. So I'm really against presenting it in any way that suggests otherwise.
