Topic: [Bug]character tag not working

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Bug overview description.
I keep trying to add a character's name to an image but it's not letting me do so.
What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?
character: tag
What is the expected behavior?
I expect when I type the tag character:[name] it will upload the character's name in the tag section of characters in the typical green font I see all character tags under.
What actual behavior is given instead?
Instead, it simply adds the name as a general tag instead of as a character tag/
Time of incident (if applicable).
As soon as I tagged it.
Can you reproduce the bug every time?
Yeah, so far. Same results every time.
What steps did you take to replicate this bug?
I tried typing in character:[name]. That only adds a general tag. I tried typing in Character:[name]. That also adds a general tag. I tried typing in chara:[name]. This adds a funky general tag with the chara: still in front.
Errors or other messages returned (if any).
When I try to add the character tag it says there's an error because there's no change.

Character's name is Crystal. (crystal is listed as general instead of as character even though I tagged character:Crystal )

You cannot use crystal, because it's for cystals as in gems. One tag can only be used for one thing, don't change tags which are used for something already without good reason. Either use characters full name or character_(owner) because of name being so generic.

I just changed the character name, but also found out my post was deleted for being human only, yet there are 221 posts that are human only that are still up. Why was mine deleted & those not?

Grandfathered posts, better versions of grandfathered posts, wrongly tagged posts, posts which have relevant content like tentacles, couple accidental approvals and posts with direct relations to other post via parent/child or pool.

Actually entirely unsure why foxdad comics are approved as those only contains humans wearing clear fursuits, which count as accessorie.
