Basically; I think there should be a new tag category, like 'General' 'Artist' and 'Species' categories. But for genital types.
I make this suggestion because I am just done with the fact that the 'humanoid_penis' is NEVER used. I have it on my blacklist but even posts with humans; nope! Never tagged. Ever. Sucks on me for having it blocked and no one ever thinking to use it.

So I'm suggesting a new tag category for genitalia types. Maybe THEN, when people can flag it from the get go because it's its own setting, it will be used properly. I hope.

Edit: Added to the proper forum after I derped last night.

Except that like half of the images don't depict genitalia.

Also, why don't your just blacklist "penis -animal_penis"

1. If they don't depict genitalia; why would would they have the humanoid_genitalia tag? I'm referring to images that show human dick but no one tags properly, because I don't want to SEE human dick.

2. How would that work? It blacklists 'penis' but then un-blacklists 'animal_penis'?

You should read the blacklist help page.

Each line of the blacklist is a separate subject.

cat
dog
rabbit -mouse

In this example, every image of cats and dogs would be blacklisted, but images of rabbits would only be blacklisted if there's no mouse also in the image. Of course, even if there is a mouse in the rabbit image, if there's also a cat or dog, those subjects would blacklist it too.
When blacklisted terms show up, every relevant line blacklists an image
If the terms are crossed out, such as breath_play -dr.bubblebum, that means you have temporarily disabled that line, either by clicking on it in that search (which should revert the next time you run a search), or by clicking Disable all which will remember that you turned your entire blacklist off until you click Re-enable all.

So that means the suggestion would blacklist all 'penis' unless 'animal_penis' was in the image.
Which is only a band-aid fix; what if the image has 2 furries, and one has an animal peen and one has human peen? Now the image dodges my blacklist settings because it's tagged 'animal_penis'.

It seems like a good idea to just make a 'genitalia' category for proper tagging, so the blacklist function can work properly.
I mean, go run a test: blacklist 'humanoid_penis' and then search for your 3 favorite tags; I bet you dollars to donuts that you will see a plethora of human penis simply because no one ever uses the tags. Even on images like the image set of the dragoness with the human, where the only male IS HUMAN; no one tagged it until I tagged it.

There being another category would not help with humanoid_penis being tagged. Too many people consider human penises "too normal" to remember to tag its type.

Just gonna move the comments that people had said from the other thread - topic #32202.

I don't think genitalia is important enough to justify the creation of a new category tag

I guess this could be presented in the upload form in some way instead? If the explicit rating is marked?

As for my take on it, creating a separate tag category specifically for the purpose of highlighting the tags does not necessary make people tag better. You cannot force people to tag better.
Unless of course, we choose to disambiguate and invalidate the penis/pussy/genitals tag to make them choose between the various types, but that would not be a viable option.

If you want things to improve, stop complaining and add in the correct tags yourself. That's why users have the ability to edit tags, don't expect others to tag stuff correctly 100% of the time.
If you notice that the posts that lack the tags are always from a certain uploader, you may send them a friendly reminder telling them that X tag is always missing from their posts.
