The tag toned has the description:

Toned describes characters that have visibly defined muscle structure, but the overall topology of their body is still relatively smooth and within "normal" proportions.

Not to be confused with muscles. A character may be toned but not muscular, muscular but not toned, or both.

But I managed to come across images like:

I'd say many pictures under this tag fails the "within "normal" proportions" criterion.

This is just an observation and I would like to be able to search for the given definition. What are your suggestions on what to do with this?

None of the images you linked are toned.

That's toned.

I understand that, I'm just asking what to do about it. =P

Do we not have a muscular tag? Or is it aliased to something else?

Are we just to do a whole-tag clean-up, or is there some easier way to get the wanted results?

-and I would want to know if there is someone against people removing all them there tags that could undo the work put into it...

We might have to do a tag cleanup on it, because even a cursory glance over the images tagged toned certainly are more cut than what's required for that tag.

The above image definitely qualifies for the toned tag, while the below image does not.

And I'm seeing a lot more of the second type of image than I am the first.

I'd say the latter is borderlining it (Just my personal opinion and I am aware that most disagree with me on that xD), but the first one is definitely what we are going for.

I thiink the rule of thumb could be:
"A character that would be seen as muscular IRL should be tagged muscles. If otherwise fit but not bulky, tag toned"

Is that Ok or does it need tweaking?

I agree that the second one is borderline, but I wanted to find the bare minimum for the tag muscular; there are far worse offenders tagged as toned right now.

The problem is what you consider toned may be someone's muscular; someone who is not themselves muscular may think toned is muscular simply because it's a greater amount of muscle and tone than they themselves may possess.

I think the current definition is fine, people just need to start using it properly. I understand that's expecting a lot from some of our users, but I don't think changing the definition is going to help, unfortunately...

I was thinking for the people potentially reading this xD

all both of them... :3
