Topic: [Bug/Invalid_tag] Invalid_tag bug?

Posted under General

From time to time I take a swipe at the Invalid_tag posts. I noticed a number of recent posts with Invalid_tag, but I can't find a problem. Many of them involve colors, some of those have the Invalid_color tag also, but not all. One had Invalid_tag, Invalid_color, and Blue_fur as the only color involved.

I've also found a string of Invalid_tags, with Butt all in common.

I've combed through the Invalid_tag list, read wikipedia articles until my eyes have crossed. Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help.

the tag that was invalid was aliased to invalid tag.
for example
yellow is aliased to invalid_color
So when ever there is a post that says invalid_tag it means a tag that someone tried to add isn't aloud.
invalid_tag

sometimes invalid tags are hard to spot. I'm short on time, so my example here isn't gonna make a lot of sense, but pretend that it does okay?

Let's say on_penis is a valid tag. If someone times on penis ... penis will get tagged, but on... on is, or should be, an invalid tag. I think words like on and in are the most common sources of invalid tags. :)

In YOUR case...

if you had invlid colors and invalid tags...

I bet someone entered blue fur and not blue_fur ... fur is, I beleive, an invalid tag. :) and blue is, as Verperus said. :D
