Forgive me if I'm doing this wrong, but I didn't want to spam a few dozen threads all at once :) And some of these should be discussed a bit.

To start off, some quick and easy implications aliases:

spike_collar -> spiked_collar
spiked_choker -> spiked_collar
spiked_bracelets -> spiked_bracelet
spiked_cuffs -> spiked_bracelet
spiked_wristband -> spiked bracelet
skyscrapers -> skyscraper
armlets -> armlet

All Most of these were heavily used (10-60 posts) until I tidied them up. No big fuss, just a relatively common mistagging.

Also the skyscraper just snuck in. Didn't you know skyscrapers are sneaky? They are!

Now to the more complicated ones...

Pick one: spiked_armlet or spiked_armband.

Spiked_armlet has 164 posts, spiked_armband has 26.
These numbers are posted to indicate which language is more commonly used on the site, not as a recommendation of merging them: Armband has 2770 posts, armlet has 1515 posts.
Armlets has 56, and should be aliased off to Armlet.

Both spiked_armlet and spiked_armband, of course, have some other related tags that will need cleaning up too. (like "black_spiked_armband" or similar)... I like "spiked_armband" though. You could make an argument that an 'armlet' is for more delicate jewelry sorts of things, and this that spiked_armbands is more logical for the thick, black spiked leather straps that we see most commonly... but then, that would suggest that then our spiked_bracelets should be spiked_wristbands. However, people have already indicated that they prefer spiked_bracelet over spiked_wristband, by proxy of heavy use.

Pick one: spikey_hair or spiked_hair

Spikey has 28 posts, Spiked has 52. That said, I prefer spiked as it lines up with other tags about spiked things.

Pick one: tail_spikes or spiked_tail

They describe what is effectively the same thing: the spikes on a tail or a tail with spikes. Thus: having both would be redundant.

Tail_spikes matches with the naming trend of spikes-on-the-body (head_spikes, face_spikes, chest_spike).. however, while Spiked_tail DOES matches with all of the above clothing-related posts, it's more likely to be used on a character with other forms of spikes.. thus, it's more intuitive to have the 'body part spikes' all named as '(part)_spikes'. (Though, see below regarding plurality.)

Whichever is chosen, tail_spike (singular) should be aliased to it as well :)

Plurality of body-spikes?

We have head_spikes and face_spikes and shoulder_spikes... yet have a chest_spike. Should it be head_spike or head_spikes? Of course chest_spike is almost entirely used to describe lucario and gardevoir (each of which have a single spike.) ... with the exception of one neat spikey dragonish guy and one picture with spikes-as-nipples. (Oh e621. I missed you.)

I dunno. face_spikes seems more intuitive, but... post #1160974 technically only has one 'face spike' and we seem to prefer singular in most cases...

Eh, whatever. The answer is probably to leave it as is, but...

Spikes? On my hands?? It's more likely than you think

Good gosh, there's a lot of tags for spikes-on-hands... Spiked_knuckles, spiked_gloves, spiked_glove, spiked_gauntlets, spiked_bracers, spiked fists and I think I might be missing a few. Obviously, it can mostly go down to spiked_gloves but then you have brass-knuckles-but-with-spikes... and then there's the fact that some of these are tagged to pictures of Knuckles or similar sonic fan characters. Not that any of these are super commonly used. I'm getting tired and didn't feel like making a decision yet.

But seriously: what's up with Knuckle's hands? post #1361690 Are they spiked_gloves? are they hand_spikes? Both? Will the world ever discover the answer?

Wrapping up...

Spiked_collar and spiked_bracelet both imply spikes ... there are many other spiked_* things that should imply spikes. (obviously, I can put together a list, if people would like)

Spikeless seems to be used on 5 lucario pictures that lack a spike. However... this seems like a rather broad tag that shouldn't exist, IMHO... as it'd apply to most pictures. Maybe something like spikeless_lucario, but there are only 5 posts with spikeless anyway, and 2 of them I'm not even sure deserve the 'spikeless' tag.

Okay, I'm done now. <3

Ok... not to say you did it wrong, but it may have been a smart idea to make one singular alias/implication first, with a basic reason, and then go all out with additional aliases/implications, reasons, and et cetera. Reason being, any staff member (and user) can see the entire list of such with two different searches, Aliases and Implications. It’s much faster than dredging through the forum in any context.

But nonetheless, -1 on choker, cuffs, and possibly wristband. They are capable of being different:
A choker leaves very little or no room for air between it and the neck and can be wider, a collar does and is usually thinner;
cuffs can be wider than bracelets, as can wristbands.

You really shouldn’t have removed them and then did tag searches for them, how can we now tell the difference after you removed the tags? You also meant alias, not implication, right?

(edited a little for typos and clarity.)

Fair point! When I was most active here, the rule was "put it all in one post and don't spam the forums"... but that was a long time ago. :)

But nonetheless, -1 on choker, cuffs, and possibly wristband. They are capable of being different:

I certainly agree completely that collar and choker are different. However, I was referring specifically to spiked collars and spiked chokers, both which tend to be drawn basically identically. If I'm looking in my tag history correctly, there was one post labeled Spiked_choker: post #699331 ... Which is basically the same thing as the 2546 spiked_collar images.

So, while someone COULD draw a 'spiked choker' that is different than a spiked collar, if someone has, no one's has tagged it, so far. Plus it'll probably just get mistagged.

Of course, that's fair argument for perhaps going through said 2500 spiked_collar images to separate the two... but I suspect people interested in seeing one would be interested in viewing the other.

cuffs can be wider than bracelets, as can wristbands.

Certainly, but few people are so picky as to only want images of spiked wristwear of greater than 2 inches but smaller than 4. :)

That also said, spiked_cuffs consisted of about 25 images. (compared to spiked_bracelet's 1052)... most of the images, as I recall, were of Bowser, with Bowser's wristcuffs drawn basically like the majority of images in spiked_bracelet.

You really shouldn’t have removed them and then did tag searches for them, how can we now tell the difference after you removed the tags?

Mmm.. I did make a typo. I did mean to say that most of them had been used on 10-60 images, but not all of them. the alias suggestions were the most populated and common erroneously used tags.

That said, I haven't been around in a while, but this isn't my first rodeo. I know how to look at two tags and realize that they're referencing the same thing. :) (and that isn't meant to sound confrontational... just stating that most of the retagging I DID do was regarding errors: spiked_tailbands versus spiked_tail_rings, spiked_bracelets versus spiked_bracelet, spike_collar versus spiked_collar etc.)

Please note, of course, that I didn't touch armlet/armband, spikey/spiked hair, tail spikes/spiked tails, the inconsistency of the plurality of body_spikes, or the mess that is spiked handware. I'm not infallible, but I can tell (most of the time) when someone's using the wrong tag, versus a legitimate point of debate. (as can be found in the rest of my post).

Plus, there's a fully functional 'tag history' that I can use to revert any mistakes, and I do believe the mods have a tool to easily revert any changes I made should they disagree. Of course, that doesn't mean anyone should change tags willynilly (it, after all, causes more work for people!) but it does mean that I'm not too worried about adjusting some incorrect tag usage <3 it's not lost and gone forever, it's right there, for anyone to see. and I'm happy to change anything back if people disagree.

You also meant alias, not implication, right?

Yes, thank you. I fixed that. :D

Always did get them jumbled up, for some reason.

Well, how about aliasing and/or implying your suggested and any others to more general tags. For instance, there are still a couple wrist objects that aren’t bracelets that haven’t been brought up (spiked bangles do exist), instead of only spiked_bracelet we could use spiked_wristwear. Certain are better aliased to specific object locations, others (like collar to neckwear) are better implicated since it’s common and arguably diverse.

This system should be easier to follow since you can follow the implication tree instead of looking through many aliases. It also helps remove the argument of cosmetics: should spiked jewelry deserve it’s own tag, since we have a jewelry tag that is not comprised of cloths and leathers. An alias and implication chain, spiked_bracelet implies jewelry and spiked_wristwear, whereas spiked_wristband is aliased to spiked_wristwear, should be easier to follow. There’s more path and less fat, poetically speaking.

Presuming we're talking about bracelets and cuffs specifically.. this is pretty fair, but no one's tagged 'spiked_bangles' either. I'm not saying they don't exist, but they haven't been tagged. I searched for *Spike* on the tag page and have thus looked at all of the tags in use. :) No 'Spiked_bangles' .... though I admit personally, I would swap 'bracelet' for 'wristband' fr clarity. But, bracelet is rather clearly established as the favored language.

Certain are better aliased to specific object locations, others (like collar to neckwear) are better implicated since it’s common and arguably diverse

True but 99.99% of spiked neckwear is collars. Plus, you could always tag differently if you suspect that there's enough difference.

That said, the only one I saw--and i did glance at everything I retagged--that could be not-a-collar, was post #1100863 ... which was actually named spiked-necklace originally... but it was the ONLY one named spiked_necklace. I almost didn't change it, but then I recalled that a horse collar sits at just about that same spot. And for that matter, I'm not actually sure that the collar is a collar so much as part of her shirt/bra thing? There are the odd lines that go down over her breasts from cups to collar. So I dunno. I'm not opposed to other forms of spiked neckwear, I"m just not sure that we should give up the 'classic flavor' of 'spiked-collar'.

This system should be easier to follow since you can follow the implication tree instead of looking through many aliases. It also helps remove the argument of cosmetics: should spiked jewelry deserve it’s own tag, since we have a jewelry tag that is not comprised of cloths and leathers.

Well... there are already a few implications involved for some of the parts. spiked_collar implies collar and spikes, while spiked_bracelet implies spikes and bracelet, which implies jewelry. And no matter how you look at it, jewelry is something worn to adorn one's self--and a spiked collar fits that bill.

That said, spiked_jewelry as an implication from all of the bits of spiked body wear is an interesting idea, as there's not really a way that one can search for that 'aesthetic'... (sorry, even though you were trying to discourage the idea. :) ) ... it would also make it easier for people interested in spikes on the body (face spikes, tail spikes etc) to remove the spiked collars/bracelets/armlets/belts/etc from the search.

An alias and implication chain, spiked_bracelet implies jewelry and spiked_wristwear, whereas spiked_armband is aliased to spiked_wristwear, should be easier to follow. There’s more path and less fat, poetically speaking.

My problem with that is that an armband goes around the upperarm, whereas wristwear goes around the, well, wrist.

...I swear, spiked doesn't look like a word anymore.

Ok, third submiting time’s the charm...

And more if I didn’t have search limits...

But, the point should come across nonetheless: this site distinguished between jewelry and non jewelry. Bracelets and wristbands. Necklaces and collars. You have blurred that line. Not only do you suggest that these are the same, you tagged them as such, even hesitating when it didn’t belong.

Are you still to suggest that they are the same? The site seems to disagree with you, there are wikis to suggest that they are different. That wristbands are not the same as bracelets and that collars are not the same as necklaces.

Siral_Exan said: But, the point should come across nonetheless: this site distinguished between jewelry and non jewelry.

Okay... I believe I recall agreeing on this note.

Bracelets and wristbands. Necklaces and collars. You have blurred that line. Not only do you suggest that these are the same, you tagged them as such, even hesitating when it didn’t belong.

Are you still to suggest that they are the same? The site seems to disagree with you, there are wikis to suggest that they are different. That wristbands are not the same as bracelets and that collars are not the same as necklaces.

But, uh... No.

I feel like my point is being misunderstood.

Okay.

Bracelet: post #1374943 post #1371206
Wristband: post #1370123 post #1348867

bracelet and wristband are different things.
Are they jewelry? Bracelets are. They have an implication that says so. Are wristbands jewelry? I don't know and I am not asserting that they are or are not. There are some images where they appear to be chosen as aesthetic enhancing accessories (or, more simply, worn to make the outfit look better) and others where they appear to be sportswear.

I am not arguing that wristband should alias to bracelet, or that bracelet should alias to wristband. I have never been saying that {{wristband}] should be jewelry. I have never been talking about the validity of either of these tags. These are both good tags.

My original post was talking about spiked_bracelet and spiked_wristband.
Spiked_bracelet is tagged in 1052 images. The wiki says "Pretty self explanatory, a bracelet with spikes on it. Commonly worn by Bowser."

This implies that these are spiked_bracelets: post #1310091 post #1362737 post #1321893 post #1280272

Going into my tagging history... again.. to find the pictures that were previously tagged spiked_wristbands...

post #793954 post #195654 post #771971 post #791155 post #785550 post #776754 post #776752 post #772027 post #795021 post #1046985 post #796624 post #1134709 post #855270 post #1225919 post #855271 post #1271101 post #881789 post #1305401 post #949388 post #1312426

Of the above linked pictures, all of them are basically the same as that is linked under spiked_bracelet. There are a few that were--somewhat--different.
post #771971 post #795021 post #1225919 post #1305401

1 appears to be more like a piece of spiked_armor. 2 and 4 are drawn in a different style. 3 is slightly thinner than usual.

So. With that statement:

I feel confident in asserting that what had previously been tagged 'spiked_wristband' is functionally identical to spiked_bracelet.

I am NOT saying that EVERYTHING in spiked_bracelet is a spiked_bracelet. Indeed not: while I was browsing spiked_bracelet, there were several instances where a spiked_armlet was called a spiked_bracelet. I saw several studded_bracelets mistagged as spiked_bracelets. Is there enough "spiked bracelets" within spiked_bracelet to justify moving 'spiked wristbands' out into spiked wristband and to, in the future, distinguish between spiked_wristband and spiked_bracelet? I don't know. I didn't look.

Spiked_bracelet already means one thing on this site, and the contents of spiked_bracelet were functionally identical to spiked_bracelet.

I feel like one COULD make an argument that spiked bracelets are a thing and different from spiked wristbands, but I think that it would be a very tricky distinction.. mostly based on rather small differences... for example: thickness, looseness, or other nearby 'bling'... I feel like the two tags would be used incorrectly a large portion of the time and it would be a headache to maintain the cleanliness of both tags.

Thus: I am suggesting that spiked_bracelet and spiked_wristband as they existed when I changed the tags, were not different. Bracelet and wristband, however, are the same.

*sigh*

Necklaces and collars. You have blurred that line. Not only do you suggest that these are the same, you tagged them as such, even hesitating when it didn’t belong.

Are you still to suggest that they are the same? The site seems to disagree with you, there are wikis to suggest that they are different. That wristbands are not the same as bracelets and that collars are not the same as necklaces.

Okay. necklaces and collars. SEe everything I just wrote up there? Repeat that here. necklace and collar are different.

spiked_collar and spiked necklace, on the other hand.. well hell. Fine.

I have now retagged every single picture that was changed from spiked_necklace to spiked_collar back to spiked necklace. All of them.

There is now one picture--one whole picture--on the website that is labeled spiked_necklace. Here it is: post #1100863

I'm still not sure that's a necklace. Or a collar. but there. THAT line is no longer blurred.

Shall I retag all of the other pictures I linked in this post? Ain't no fur off of my back.

You initially suggested aliasing them. Even if you mean implicating, it’s still wrong. We shouldn’t imply choker to collar; we shouldn’t imply wristband to bracelet (cuff is disambiguated, so withholding a decision). We shouldn’t pick between armlet or armband, they are two different things. They are not identical in comparison and if an artist draws them identically go with the closest one since we can’t use TWYK.

If you do not mean to alias or imply, cross them out. While I can’t blame you for it, it would be easier if you did.

The one spiked necklace you are confused on is a type of necklace, intentionally drawing attention to the neck instead of showing off jewelry (except this one has spikes).

Now, why don’t you reorganize your suggestions so there is no confusion or mistakes. I won’t play “holier than thou”, but it’s harder to read if you appear to be contradicting yourself.

I'm getting pretty frustrated here.

Can you please give me examples of how a spiked_collar is different from a spiked_choker?

(to help, there was only one post tagged with Spiked_choker. It's this: post #699331 )

Can you show me examples of how a spiked_wristband and a spiked_bracelet are different?

As for armband and armlet... I literally covered this in my first post: Spiked_armlet and spiked_armband appear to be identical. armlet and armband are both heavily used. Armlet seems to refer to jewelry. I only mentioned the post numbers for armlet and armband for the sake of comparison to the rest of the site.

(If I had read a post asking about spiked_armbands or spiked_armlets, the first thing I would have done was checked armbands and armlets to see if we have a preference for one word or the other on the website. Hence, I was trying to save everyone a step. I have now edited to clarify my post on several aspects.

If you do not mean to alias or imply, cross them out. While I can’t blame you for it, it would be easier if you did.

Honestly, I'd be willing to do this, but I'm not convinced yet. There are a few I'm a little more 'uncertain' about... but that's only because they were not widely tagged. -- like spiked_choker, which had a single post.

You've TOLD me about hte differences between some things, but not provided any posts to back up your argument. Of course in real life there are differences between a spiked_bracelet and a spiked_wristband, but it's hard to see in illustrations

And honestly, you've spent most of the time telling me about how necklaces are not collars, which wasn't even mentioned until my third post in this thread. c_c And I've never said that spiked_necklace should be aliased away.

The one spiked necklace you are confused on is a type of necklace, intentionally drawing attention to the neck instead of showing off jewelry (except this one has spikes).

Like I just said, I never recommended aliasing spiked_necklace away and that image, again, is tagged spiked_necklace.

Now, why don’t you reorganize your suggestions so there is no confusion or mistakes. I won’t play “holier than thou”, but it’s harder to read if you appear to be contradicting yourself.

Let me look back up at my suggestions...

most of them are corrections of typos.. like spike_collar and spiked_collar.

I will strike through spiked_cuffs → spiked_bracelet... (though, to clarify: I retagged about 30 pictures from spiked_cuffs to spiked_bracelet. ALL of them were, what we are currently tagging "spiked_bracelet".... most of them were of bowser. ONE image had the character's hands bound in some manner. It's been tagged spiked_cuffs again.

I'm honestly not sure it's worth continuing this argument, honestly. I was feeling nostalgic the other day and thought it'd be fun to do some tagging and tag-clean up like I used to... but I think my ruby colored glasses have been rather firmly snatched away and thrown aside. I forgot how frustrating it could be and why I left in the first place. I guess I ought to thank you for that as I really don't have the time to 'waste' trying to be helpful on a website I rarely visit... no matter how much I enjoyed my prior time here.

I will probably contact an admin and ask which of the changes I've made they would like me to revert. Would you have a recommendation of who I should speak with who handles tag changes and whatnot most frequently? (My information's about 5 years out of date... and, at the time, would have been "talk to SnowWolf..." which obviously doesn't apply here... :P)

I already pointed it out when I showed you relevant tags. The site has implications from certain spiked tags, ones you removed, to their base form ( IE spiked_wristband -> wristband). If you don’t trust me, trust the site.

I can’t show you an example, because you took it upon yourself to remove the tags that you suggested to alias, and I don’t have the spare time to find the most accurate of images when I am going off of one tag and not multiple.

An armlet is a type of jewelry, an armband is a type of square or triangular cloth (or other, depends on the uniform) band, often with a symbol.

You shouldn’t have saved steps for anyone, you caused the opposite effect: it now takes more steps to look for something to show you.

You suggested chokers to collars, and in some cultures (and thus art styles) they’re a type of jewelry that are different than collars. It doesn’t need an alias if it isn’t always a collar and can instead be a kind of necklace.

While I can appreciate nostalgia and trying to do the right thing, you should have looked at what you were doing before you did it. There are things that’re different from between your time and now, and such is true for me as well. I can’t suggest any admin, since no matter who I suggest they’ll all talk about it.

And I greatly apologise for frustrating you. I assure, that was not my intent, and if we were able to converse IRL a lot of the chaff we’ve been through would not have happened, which’d probably make you less frustrated. But so is the woes of communicating big ideas online, it never comes out right the first time you say it.

The site isn't always right. Just because something HAS been a way doesn't mean it should CONTINUE to be that way. There is no wiki for spiked_wristband.

I can’t show you an example, because you took it upon yourself to remove the tags that you suggested to alias, and I don’t have the spare time to find the most accurate of images when I am going off of one tag and not multiple.

I literally gave you a link to each individual post that I removed spiked_wristbands from. I cannot make it any easier for you to do this shy of retagging all of them. Would you like them in thumbnail form? Here:

An armlet is a type of jewelry, an armband is a type of square or triangular cloth (or other, depends on the uniform) band, often with a symbol. You shouldn’t have saved steps for anyone, you caused the opposite effect: it now takes more steps to look for something to show you.

Like I said: "I only mentioned the post numbers for armlet and armband for the sake of comparison to the rest of the site." At no point did I advocate changing those.

I also did not CHANGE anything in regards to armlets or armbands, spiked or otherwise. they are EXACTLY like they were before.

I really feel like you're just trying to pick a fight with me, man. That or you're not really reading what I'm typing. I don't know how mentioning the number of posts using a tag on the website can make it harder for you to look at posts. and I didn't touch armlet or armband c_c.

You suggested chokers to collars, and in some cultures (and thus art styles) they’re a type of jewelry that are different than collars. It doesn’t need an alias if it isn’t always a collar and can instead be a kind of necklace.

No, I suggested spiked_choker to spiked_collar. Spiked_choker only had one post. Which I've now linked twice for you. I agree (and have from the start) that a choker and a collar are different things. But as far as spiked_collars go, I haven't seen any posts--here on the website--that really make me say "wow! That's a spiked choker!"

I haven't change any posts here. Nothing stops you from looking through Spiked_collar to try and find a spiked_choker. If there is a whole subgroup of spiked_chokers I'm not seeing because I'm looking through quickly, then I happily and eagerly admit I'm wrong. But outside of some pictures which are mislabeled (for example, a picture where the choker has no spikes at all) I"m not seeing a wide amount of variety between how the spiked_collars are being worn. I am happy to go through the whole spiked_collar tag and separate the _collars from the _chokers if given reason to, but right now, I'm not seeing much difference aside of the fact that SOME pictures artists are very visually descriptive of how much 'wiggle room' there is between collar and neck. But there are many more that are vague and difficult to tell and I think that differentiating between the two will only cause confusion and frustration for people interested in searching for that tag.

While I can appreciate nostalgia and trying to do the right thing, you should have looked at what you were doing before you did it. There are things that’re different from between your time and now, and such is true for me as well.

I did. and I made a relatively minor change and made some suggestions. You're acting like I casually decided to rename "female" to "girl" or "rabbit" to "lagomorphia". I changed literally 200 posts. and most of those were typo fixes. like Spike_collar to spiked_collar. The thing you're complaining most about is like a grand total of 25 posts.

I can’t suggest any admin, since no matter who I suggest they’ll all talk about it.

Okay, let me phrase this differently. I notice that each admin seems to have a particular specialization these days. I know that some only deal with reports, while others focus on the coding. I have noticed specifically that one mod's profile says SPECIFICALLY to not contact them about non-developmental activities. I would not like to annoy anyone. I would like to contact the person who's most frequently involved with tags, aliases and implications. I am well aware that i could contact anyone and be pointed in the right direction, but I'd rather start at the right person. You seem like you are interested in the comings and goings of various tags and enjoy participating in tag-oriented discussion. Thus you seemed like a logical person to ask about who the proper admin would be. I"ll jsut pick someone randomly. thank you.

And I greatly apologise for frustrating you. I assure, that was not my intent, and if we were able to converse IRL a lot of the chaff we’ve been through would not have happened, which’d probably make you less frustrated. But so is the woes of communicating big ideas online, it never comes out right the first time you say it.

This is very true. and for what it's worth, I"m sorry also. Real life communication does make things a lot easier. most of the time anyway.

...maybe I shoudl start over and try again c_c

armlets -> armlet Approved
skyscrapers -> skyscraper Approved
spike_collar -> spiked_collar Approved
spiked_bracelets -> spiked_bracelet Approved

spiked_choker -> spiked_collar
spiked_wristband -> spiked_bracelet

Not sure about the remaining ones, might be worth it to keep those separate for cases where the spikes are actually clearly on a piece of jewelry (eg metal band) instead of being attached to leather or cloth.

Oh! Thank you for approving those, NotMeNotYou. :)

I'll probably go through all of the spiked* tags to make sure that all of the appropriate items are tagged. I noticed there were a lot of, like, untagged spiked_thighbands and stuff.

For now, I'm not gonna be renaming anything else, but I will keep an eye out for any bracelets with spikes, and similar that might justify having both spiked_bracelet and spiked_wristband.

For now, I will use the spiked_armband tag, as that seems most accurate for the item in question. :)

In the mean time:

1. tail_spikes or spiked_tail?

2. Spikey_hair or Spiked_hair?

For me: I like tail_spikes and spiked_hair, but I have no horse in that race. :)

SnowWolf said:

spikey_hair is misspelling of spiky_hair

Commander_Eggplant said:

Whoa, thank you. By the time I got to 'spikey,' all meaning had been stripped from the letters.

Regardless, then, the question remains:

2. Spiky_hair (294) or spiked_hair (52)?

and 1. spiky_tail (10) or tail_spikes (2) or spiked_tail (329)?

I mean, if it comes down to my opinion:

Alias: Spiky_hair -> Spiked_hair
Alias: Spikey_hair -> Spiked_hair
Alias: spiked_tail -> tail_spikes

I prefer spiky_hair to spiked_hair because spiked_hair seems to imply something was done to the hair to make it spiky.

That's a fair point, though I"m not sure if it changes my initial opinion... but like I said, I don't have strong opinions here!

Hmmm...never thought of that, but I suppose that's probably why I also prefer spiky_hair.

It's my same issue with shaved_pussy...unless there is stubble to indicate that some shaving took place it's presuming that at one point there was hair and then it was shaved, which is a lot to presume when you're dealing with fantasy creatures, and it simply doesn't work with things like reptiles who most likely never had or never will have hair there. I usually use hairless_pussy instead.

Btw...what tag do you guys use around here for that? neither shaved_pussy nor hairless_pussy are very popular tags here.

Hell, even if hair was removed that doesn't imply shaving. There's also waxing, threading, laser treatment, electrolysis, and epilators.

The one thing about the tag though is that this is a furry focused site, so it'll have limited use. There's also a lot of furry characters drawn in a way to have the aesthetic of no hair but there's still technically fur. That technicality alone is probably enough to discourage people from using either tag. I think something like 'smooth_pussy' would work better since it'd cover both humans/humanoids as well as furry characters.

Yes, most tags that deal with pubic hair were not designed to deal with such a situation, that's true.

That would probably work about 99% of the time until you come across like a lizard character with scales around their pussy...but it's probably the best suggestion I've heard for a tag that can apply to furries and humanoids alike.
