Topic: Should we have a specific tag for the "Ask X" Tumblr images?

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Or a tag for specific Ask Tumblrs? AKA, "ask_molestia" or "ask_x" or what have you. I find I don't care for most of them, but I don't want to blacklist the artist for fear of missing out on something else they've done.

I would say add a "tumblr" tag.

Blacklisting 'tumblr' would blacklist all Ask Tumblr posts, and I do find some of them enjoyable.

"tumblr princess_celestia" as a blacklist line will only block "Ask Molestia" images (and other ask Tumblr-based images that contain Princess Celestia).

If it's something else just replace princess_celestia with whatever you want to blacklist.

That might work, if we can get people to start using the tag regularly.

Methinks you can do something to the effect of "pool:x" as a search and a blacklist tag.
eg. "pool:ask_princess_molestia"

You can't blacklist pools.

Why would we want to use that?

So people who hate it can easily blacklist it without missing other stuff from tumblr?

Everything we get from tumblr are from ask-pony blogs.

Lies. There's two images tagged "tumblr" that aren't tagged "my_little_pony".

The first one has a mlp fan character in it, so that's wrong.
That leaves one post unrelated to mlp in the tumblr category.
To everyone else:
If it's just a problem of you not wanting to see pony blogs, here's an idea: Blacklist it! Put "tumblr my_little_pony" in your blacklist. Problem solved!

Its not a matter of not seeing pony blogs, its others that I don't want to.see, and they aren't using the tumbler tag as of yet.
And blacklisting just mlp tumbler tags prevents you from seeing all of them, when you might want to see some of them. There's got to be a more detailed way to do this.

You could blacklist "tumblr -artistname" to block all tumblr posts not by that artist.
As for blacklisting non-tumblr ask pony blogs, there's no easy method for that at the moment, but are they really that much of a problem?

It's not like every time I see one I don't like I foam at the mouth and fling my computer against the wall, but it would just be nice to be able to blacklist just the Tumblr-style stuff from an artist and not blacklist everything they do. Looks like I'm going to have to start adding Tumblr tags to appropriate things when I see them...
