post #2298853 post #2717083

Sorry to go offtopic on this, but these two are getting through my blacklist. How can I fix this? I'm still trying to find out how to avoid blacklisting things like post #146528 while making it so I only see those ones when I click through intentionally.

On topic, I'd say the two that did get blacklisted, post #2726941 and post #2727716, they just show nudging against the belly, and I feel that should still be solo. post #2298853 looks more like eggs, and so that would also be solo. post #2717083 actually shows defined outlines, so far that I'd say the outlined characters should count. The species of dragon, wolf, and fox do appear to be the more outlined in this one, and they are in the tags.

You could add "same_size_vore" or "vore big_belly"

I have the same opinion. I think this should be defined in the vore wiki. But I also think changing it, based on two opinions, isn't a good idea. Also, I don't believe my English is good enough to change it by myself. So, maybe we wait for some more opinions.

IMO it's probably best to avoid "solo" or "duo" for vore images that don't show the prey character, and maybe stick to "solo_focus" if anything.

If you're worried about the number of prey, IMO unless the belly is much larger than what you could reasonably expect from a single similarly sized character or there are multiple body outlines, it's best to leave the multiple_prey tag out

The problem with solo_focus is, that it shouldn't be used without duo/group. And I think the character count tags are some of the fundamental tags that should be used for most images. I asked Millcore about it. She said TWSY applies. So I guess what Furrin Gonk and I had in mind was right.

If solo is the right "TWYS" solution, then the unseen character tag should be applied as well, though it does seem that the prey is more than what would usually constitute an "unseen character" going by the wiki page. But, since there's usually clear visual indication there's at least one other character involved, unseen character could work - and duo should be added to vore images where there's a distinct body outline.

On a related note, vore solo really needs to have some retagging done, there's a large number of images explicitly showing more than one character, and many are tagged both "duo" and "solo".
