Yeah, just as the topic implies. Can we get more tagging of this as well as other specific situations.

Since you can only search 4 tags and some things don't even have tags, specifics would be really nice.

Another example would be Fox_on_top, or something else specific like that.

For the situation described in the title you could try searching size_difference. If you don't want to see extreme discrepancies then you can go with size_difference -macro -micro (maybe even throw in a -hyper, just to be sure). If you want to get specifically into rougher stuff then search size_difference rough or even size_difference bdsm. If you have a very particular image in mind when browsing the site then you have to get creative with your searches. If 4 tags isn't enough for you, then start helping fix things up around here and you'll be promoted (I don't even remember what I did to get a privileged account, so it can't be that hard).

We can't get too specific with tags or else searches get too narrow and leave out content that the user wants to see. The tagging system is only supposed to filter content to a particular level. Anything beyond that requires the user to sort out the images themselves. If you're browsing e621 you have to have at least a little bit of personal initiative to root through the results of a search for the pictures you want. The site can't do all of the work for you.

Oh, come on. We haven't even fully discussed the topic, and you guys are already derailing the thread. You want to talk about subs, make a new thread, or wait until the main topic of interest has been properly dealt with.

Back on topic.
The small_dom_big_sub and big_dom_small_sub tags should be used more, for those users who want a more specific type of domination instead of only having size_difference to search by.
Taking it further than this will be determined in the future.

The issue with this is the reason this topic exists in the first place. I'm looking for size difference, yes however 90% of those images will be the exact opposite of what I want. Removing any of those tags would do absolutely nothing useful, and have nothing to do with what I'm asking.

But, since you went there anyways. YES you can have specific tags because logically being able to search for specific things will allow you to get things that could be 3,4, or even 5 tags all in one which would conserve a lot of processor cycles on the server that would otherwise be spent searching for tags that could be summarized in a single tag.

You're being too picky about what you want to see; deal with the hoops you have to jump through to see what you want.

There's really no ways to define what kind of domination you want, apart from female atm.
I feel the situation is too distant to be defined by any current tag combination. So I support this new tag.

Make it so.

Make what so? This tag has already been used a little bit, it just needs to become integrated as a proper tag.

Sorry, I saw this

and thought that meant the tag in question didn't exist. But then I re-read what had been said and saw it already existed. So now I'm confused about what's what, but definitely support using small_dom_big_sub.

if you can define female, you can define male by excluding that female-specific definition. :P

I do agree with generally better tagging, but not if it's for some absurdly specific situation such as a big dom and a small sub together. Perhaps separate tags for each, but not one tag that combines the two.

Absurdly specific? Hardly. But I do kind of see your point.

absurdly specific in context of the tagging system's volume. There might be a handful of images that fit the tag, and if a tag only has a handful, I'd call it absurdly specific.
