Topic: What's are some rules of thumb when creating pools?

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Hello. So I've already read up on the official help page for pools, here: https://e621.net/help/pools

I was hoping for some more clarification as to when it is and is not appropriate for creating a pool. The reason why I ask is because I think there's some posts from various artists that haven't been grouped together that seem like it ought to, all though i'm not 100% sure (I'm having a hard time finding an official source outside of E621 whereby comics/pools/sets etc are actually maintained). To give an example, this site hosts many sets from Twinkle-Sez that, though the indivual posts themselves are on E621, they aren't grouped together as they are there (Warning: the site does contain ads leading to real life porn sites, but nothing out of the ordinary):

https://www.erofus.com/comics/twinkle-sez-comics/royal-stalls
https://www.erofus.com/comics/twinkle-sez-comics/the-roadwars

I'm not entirely sure why this site specifically seems to have such a comprehensive breakdown of Twinkle-sets various artworks, as well as other artists, but I am very keen to do the same on E621. I'm not sure if this is official, i.e, in that Twinkle-Sez himself intended it to be grouped this way, or if this was just done for convenience. In any case, I would like to create a series of pools that match what can be seen on that site, under the same denominations. Would this be something that would be allowed?

Thank you.

Hey, um, so can I go ahead and pool these things together? I think it would help people like myself who may want to see various posts that are part of the same theme, but I want to make sure it's not against the actual policy itself. There doesn't seem to be anything that suggests that it may be, since, though few if any of the above examples are part of a comic series, they definitely share the same theme.

This one looks like a comic, so it would benefit from being a pool.

https://www.erofus.com/comics/twinkle-sez-comics/dog-training

This one is a collection of pictures for the same commissioner, with the same title ("Dog Training") except for a change in numbers, so I'd probably go ahead and pool them as a collection.

https://www.erofus.com/comics/twinkle-sez-comics/royal-stalls

This is the same as "Dog Training" except, instead of one commissioner, it's a collection from a special commission session, so this one can be pooled, too, I think.

https://www.erofus.com/comics/twinkle-sez-comics/talent-show
https://www.erofus.com/comics/twinkle-sez-comics/house-of-detention

These two appear to be the same as "Royal Stalls", so these can probably benefit from being pooled as well.

Overall, I'd say that, since Twinkle-Sez does seem to have grouped them together (at least on SoFurry), go ahead and pool each batch together.
