Topic: Someone Is Removing My Epilepsy Warning Tags

Posted under General

This topic has been locked.

I myself do not have epilepsy, but I know someone who does. Listen: if you like images with flashing lights, that’s fine. But by removing those warning tags you risk HURTING PEOPLE. People can DIE from seizures. If someone adds an epilepsy warning, DO NOT REMOVE IT. You might see the flashing and think “it’s not that bad.” Whoever is doing this doesn’t know what they’re talking about because I’ve SPECIFICALLY tagged some rapidly-flashing images and someone removed the tags. Do not do this, please!

Update: It appears I made a mistake. So, there was one post where I added a tag, and then, I believe, saw it removed, and immediately added it back. Maybe that specific one doesn’t show up as changed. But other than that one, I don’t think anyone removed the tag ps (it’s possible that not even the one I mentioned was actually removed).

Here’s what happened: I would add the tags, then check to make sure they were there the next day. So I would search for the tag. And I forgot that the posts would show up as default order:set, not the order in which they were tagged. So, basically, the images that I tagged would get buried under tons of more current stuff with the epilepsy_warning tag, and so I thought they were being removed. My bad guys. Thanks everyone who took the time to check.

Could you link some of the posts?

That’s the thing: I don’t remember specifically which ones because the tag was removed. I suspected this was happening so I searched the tag and sure enough, they had been untagged. I don’t remember enough about the image to find it again from scratch. Next time I have a specific post I’ll link it here.

Looking through your tagging history I can't find anyone removing your epilepsy_warning tags.

On your profile is a link called post changes. The link provides a list of all tag edits you've made, so you can search for your epilepsy_warning tags and see who removed them... however, when I looked through to find who "removed" them, I discovered that your epilepsy warning tag edits have not been removed.

Thank you for checking. I’ve made an update
