Topic: toned vs. athletic

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Similar tags, and yet not totally alike, I know ... yet are they similar enough to do away with one of them?

#1 reason I am submit this: the frequent misuse of the toned tag to describe huge, bulky, ripped-to-shreds 'roid-monsters, and by more than a few users.
These posts should be tagged with big_muscles.

Please refer to the toned wiki.

Between the two, I would always search athletic for the body-type I am looking for, yet this is a personal preference, I know.

In short, you rarely have athletic without being toned, yet it is not uncommon to be toned by virtue of being a gym-rat, while not particularly athletic.

There was a thread discussing the "muscles" style tags a long while back and we decided to stick with the current system.

I agree that there's a lot of fuzzyness between the two tags, but I think that the current wikis have enough info to differentiate the two. Especially for diligent taggers.

I'm fact, I'd motion to alias athletic to toned

I have no problem with the current system, it is the users tagging wholly inappropriately, as defined by the respective wiki pages.

This sounds like a good idea.

(as an aside: your avatar looks both toned and athletic. Just sayin')
