Topic: Pool Tags

Posted under e621 Tools and Applications

I find it very hard to search the pools. It's also a bit of a crap-shoot to try to find one part of a comic containing what you want via regular image search, then go back to the pool, then find out the other pages have stuff you blacklist, and blah.

I'd propose that pool pages be set up like regular image pages, with a list of tags on the side. The tags on the side would contain every tag from every image in the pool. It could be quite easy to automate this, so that the pool page just automatically posts any tags from the images within it.

I suppose this suggestion could be used by trolls, who would put one stupid tag on a single image in a huge pool so someone has to dig for it - but it should be easy enough to find that page using the regular image search and delete the troll tag if such a thing happens.

As of right now I have only been able to search pools by name, which is not very useful, or by typing what I want and 'comic' into the image search - but that tends to start you in the middle of a comic and could be a spoiler. The same would be true if you replaced 'comic' with 'inpool:true'.

Tagged pools would not show up under the 'post' search, there'd just be a better search feature for the pool section of the page.

edit: A problem occurs to me that I might blacklist a whole pool because of one page. For example, I do not want to see just naked duded, so I have penis -female and balls -female in the blacklist. If a pool had a single page where the guy is sitting on the bed with his dick out waiting for the girl, this would blacklist the whole pool for me. Any suggestions?

The best I can think of is having a second blacklist for pools but that might be a lot to ask for from the webmaster.

This would be great
