there's a handful of posts with the tag 'hot' (mostly, if not completely being used to describe things as sexy, as opposed to physically hot)

They seemed to be applied to posts pretty much randomly, and I think it's too subjective to be a proper tag, since nearly ever post is hot to one person or another.

I'd vote no. It's far too subjective - perhaps replace it with invalid_tag?

I say no. what I think is hot, you won't necessarily agree with as being hot. therefore too subjective.

I used this tag because I did not found better for these pictures I uploaded long time ago.

I guess there the tag Hot is okay, or maybe replace it by something else, but I don't know what

perhaps replace with panting and overheated?

Hot is subjective, usually refers to your opinion of a character... when it is used like that, it should be removed. For other cases, use one of the tags in forum #16598.

heat_(temperature)

Same goes for the "amazing" tag, IMO. It's purely subjective and pretty much randomly used.

Yeah, but it's good for finding some >amazing< things. So what if it's randomly used.

By that logic, "hot" is good for finding some >hot< things. So what if it's randomly used.

Hot has more than one meaning.

True, but I don't see how that fact is relevant to what I said. All I pointed out is that "amazing" is just as subjective and random as the discussed meaning of "hot".

As you said yourself...

Replace "Hot" with "Amazing" in that sentence and it's exactly the same.

yeah.. except one would presume that 90% of the art up here is found to be "hot" by someone. So it's kind of a blanket phrase. In comparison, going through the amazing tag is more looking at a compilation of stuff that someone has though to be pretty cool. One is a given, the other is seeking an opinion.

stuff that someone has though to be pretty cool

Isn't finding out what stuff other people like what favcount and score could be used for?

Not trying to dictate policy here, but it seems rather silly to me to have a tag for "stuff I like", especially since every user is going to think different things are awesome.

"amazing" used to be "awesome, awesometastic, badass, epic, epic_win, fucking_awesome and win" -- by allowing for there to be a tag for it, er prevent "copy cat" tags from spawning. Amazing is more of a "some people think this is awe-inspiring or awesome. Like a detailed stainedglass-esque image of Link. Or a hyper realistic pokemon. or a huge dragon about to destroy a tiny boat. I browse it when I'm looking for something impressive or just "wow". it's something not really categorzable by a word.

on theo ther hand. "hot" is a given

Amazing makes thye majority of people stop and go "Keanu Reeves." Hot is a blanket state that is more of a personal opinion.

It's like, you can argue that someone's butt or dong dipped in paint and then smeared over a canvas isn't exactly the best art in the world, but it's still art (And if you disagree, there's a man who does this to quite the acclaim; his psuedonym is Pricasso).
