I'd like some thoughts and suggestions on using tags that indicate the posts relationship to its parent post. I don't know of any currently in the wild.

Some ideas so far are

clip_of_parent
part_of_parent
version_of_parent

I'll put these here for now:

post #876138 post #859908 post #851834 post #851833 post #851831

is that necessary? is it benefitical for searching? is it benefitical for blacklisting?

More to the point would anyone actually bother tagging it?

Absolutely. It shows there's a whole work associated or a finished work associated. Maybe I only wanna see one version of a post instead of seeing a flash version, a gif version and a webm version?

As to who'd bother tagging well thats always a problem isn't it? I wouldn't be asking about it though and posting examples I find if I didn't intend to tag.

Example: post #875153

You mean cropped? Already exists, and is kind of useful.

Really don't see a use for these. You can already use search term isparent:true if you want the parent posts, or ischild:true if you just want the child posts.

And there's even parent:### (Example: parent:569326) for searching children of individual posts.

Metatags are fun.

I think based on this maybe I didn't communicate the point very well. For some posts the parent is useful. (its a no-cum version for example) and in other cases not so useful (it is a clip of the last scene of a flash). or really not useful (it the same post in another format.)

Note that this is usefulness in how I see it which won't be how others see it and thats the whole point in having different tags for it.

Precisely, except that the parent post may or may not be the uncropped version.

I'm still not seeing how these become useful to searching/blacklisting beyond what we already have.

Want the no cum version of the picture/animation? Add -cum to the search. Want the dickgirl or male version instead of female? Apply those tags.

In the case of clip from animation versus full animation, that's where searching for the parent comes into play.

If you want it in a particular format: type:gif, type:swf, type:webm, etc.

This is all true if I'm searching. But I was thinking about browsing. However things get strange. Say I wanted to see sketched and colored versions but not short loops of an interactive animation? -loop hasparent won't work in cases where the parent is a loop as well.

Basically all cropped and cut animations are usually gifs, because if you try to shove long full HD 60 FPS into gif, you only get hundreds and thousands of megabytes large file and would still have inferior quality, so it has to be resized, cut, cropped, lower frame rate, ditherered, optimized, etc. to make it useable.

however that also hides stuff which has WIP, static image or alternative version as parent post, if those animations were posted as gifs directly.
