If I browse this website, I see lots of posts without gender tags.
For some people, it might be a small thing for others, it is a big turn-off.

I think it should be obligatory to tag the gender.

As an example of my idea:
The people have to add one of these tags:
male, female, dickgirl, herm, cuntboy, ambiguous_gender, etc.
or the picture/video/flash/etc. will not be posted.

And I'd use ambiguous_gender for something like a robot without
genitals.

It would improve this website by far, in my opinion.

So, this was my first post in the forum.Please point it out, If I did something wrong.I hope my English wasn't to terrible and you did understand what I mean :D

This would be a great way to force someone into tagging something gender related, that isn't actually there. Take, for instance: zero_pictured. Ain't no genders for that. And what about the people that may abuse this to excuse themselves for incorrectly gender tagging, under the possibility that they "didn't know which gender they were"?

@Siral Exan
well, like you said. If there is nothing gender related the people should tag "zero_pictured" (I didn't know this tag before).

And If they don't know the gender they should tag ambiguous_gender.

What about people who know a character is a dickgirl even though the image only shows boobs? As it stands, they avoid tagging gender because they refuse to tag the character as female, but your idea would force them to mistag it as dickgirl.

"Don't know gender" =/= ambiguous_gender. Ambiguous gender is when you cannot see the gender, not if you do not "know" the gender. There is a point of distinguish: you can know that a character is a female, and/or you can see that a character is female; if you do not see a female but know the character is female, and you can not see any details that make any gender, then you use ambiguous gender. This is not the only example, though, but reading the wiki can enlighten you.

@Sirial Exan
ok, I think I expressed myself wrong. I know how to use the ambiguous_gender tag. English is not my mother tongue.

@Furrin Gok
In this case, you should tag female because there is a rule called Tag what you see. you can see it in the third paragraph.

People don't act the way you anticipate. Unless you're a psionic and have both omniscience and precognition, you cannot assume that people will tag the way you expect. Hell, just look through any of the intersex posts with copious amounts of comments, and you'll see arguments about gender tagging. With those as an example, your suggestion will either get many people in trouble because they didn't tag it right, or get people intentionally mistagging out of trouble because they were forced to tag a gender.

This isn't even the first time a suggestion involving forced tags has occurred. And, the answer is unanimously and always the same: the system won't work as well as it looks on paper.

Yeah I only see this causing more problems than it would solve.

Like many bad ideas that look good on paper, it fails to account for human error.

@Siral Exan
I see what you mean. The Idea seemed easier to me than it is :/

@Ratte
I don't know how much influence you have to the page design. But maybe it would help to add an extra text like:"Think about the gender and obvious fetishes" or something like that, near the tagging box on the upload page.

This site's tags are straight froward and self explanatory enough. I may be going blind, but I easily navigate my way via the tags.

Your idea will just bring about the heated drama, and those folks whom will assume certain artists are "genderphobic."

@MrKranberryJam69

I already understood that my idea wasn't as go as I thought.
