Hey guys, just letting you know that I created a page that's intended to help people learn about and understand TWYS and why it's so important.

You can see it here: http://e621.net/wiki/show?title=e621%3Atag_what_you_see_%28explained%29

Let me know what you think and if I need to make any changes.

I think it would be very nice for e621 users to initially link people to this page if they seem to be having trouble understanding TWYS and why e621 is different from other sites. No offense, but there's several users who don't seem to be capable of explaining it beyond "e621 is TWYS, we don't care what you have to say about your character". Basically this just resonates as "BECAUSE I SAID SO", with no good reason to back it up. I don't know about you guys, but I didn't particularly like it when my parents told me that. :x

Handy idea. When someone goes 'MY CHARACTER IS A HERM ITS TAGGED AS HERM NOT DICKGIRL I'M CHANGING IT TO HERM AND NOT DICKGIRL' you can just show this page and walk away.

Nice job Char!

Finally. =^_^=

Char, that be great and all, but that won't fix the young, go gettin tag nazi's out there, you gotta address them like this..

YO BITCHES, I heard you liked tag nazi-ism. Well that might be great and all, it's gonna get a bitch smacked.

Ain't nobody likin no tag nazi around here, and if you're rude, well bitch you gonna get smacked.

Lemme make some points

Good for you.
It's still getting ambiguous.

Maaaan bitch, that ain't just gonna get you smacked that gonna get you shot, bitches remember that these peeps ain't from our hood, and if you talk smack they ain't gonna stick around. They gonna take their fancy 'art' and leave a bitch,

jimmythesnitch said:
It really doesn't matter what outside sources say about the character, in this image it very clearly looks like a female, so it gets tagged as female/straight. That's how tags work on e621.

this be good, it makes all the finer points of our rules, it ain't no tag nazi, but I ain't wantin' nobody talkin like my mama around me, so you shouldn't be either.

Now if you wanna talk like you ain't gonna get smacked, better just say

hey, I know how you're feeling, but this is why we have that rule

If you really want that information there, just put it in the description! Thanks!

See ain't that nice, and no bitches got smacked.

Remember all, Tag Nazis gonna get smacked. And it's gettin bad out there, so don't be actin all up in arms over them things or you might be finding yourself with a backhand as well, Peace!

Ain't no body got time for that: Bitch be tag nazi, bitch gonna get smacked.

She has been coding too long today and needs to restart.

By the way, don't forget that you can link to Wiki articles with \title. I added a shortcut page to that TWYS intro page called "twys". So you can quickly and easily link to the page Char created by typing \twys, which results in twys!

Go home Aurali, you're drunk.

Side note, thanks for the explanantion. I do try to explain it nicely, but something like this to send them too may help.

Also test. twys

Looks fine and good to me, will definitely get the job done if people are up for the read.

Would you mind making a small footnote at the very end about the twys quicklink page?
Something along the lines of "If you wish to easily link others to this page simply type twys to send them here."

Looks pretty good, Char.

That went really well when I tried it...

Furries are always going to find the few pictures that don't work completely "right" under TWYS, and proclaim that the entire rule is stupid and we should instead be tagging by... whatever we feel like I guess.

I see his point, that many people will assume it's herm because she's pregnant. And if you remove that assumption, it looks like a pregnant dickgirl. Unfortunately, furries have made it clear that a pregnant dickgirl is a completely valid possibility in furry porn.

So if pregnant dickgirls are your thing, then that post may be just what you're looking for.

I think half the problem char is that the user doesn't like being called a dickgirl.. I still think we need to change that term.

The other half of the problem is that some people still didn't discover such thing as mpreg. Just show them this tag, they will be so disgusted that they will leave this fandom (and any other fandom) forever - problem solved.

Thread has been split! bet you guys didn't even know I could do that.

Odd when it shows page 2 but no posts visible. Could be fixed in next update maybe. Odd glitch.

So, v2 of comments, blips and forum are in the process of being coded? Nice.

And can users (members, not admins) post on locked topics? I've seen it a few minutes ago >> here <<

I just don't like the word and I'm all for changing it; really if it's aliased then it would be the same as tagging dickgirl with the exception of having a few less hurt feelings from artists, and if it keeps more art on the site then why not change it?

We are doing interface work first, but the theories behind them are in place.. which is simple black magic (sql) if you know what you are doing.

I can pm you the user but I know what I saw, it got hidden by char just a few minutes after it happened.

I appreciate your concern, but I /just/ double checked the transactions, char accidentally unhid a forum, and rehid it, it wasn't someone's post.

Oh, I'm eager to see what you have planned. If you plan to do a beta, where can I sign up? :>

Other than that, everything is black magic if the person in question doesn't know the workings behind the cover. The reason I like to say this in as many places as possible. It just always fits.

I wish I would've taken a picture -.- maybe if gets unhidden it could be seen, I have the user's page still open, sadly the forum post dissapeared from his page when thread got hidden.

If you know where to look, we'll be showing off some betas this weekend~ dun dun dun.
