Topic: Tag Implication: human_only -> not_furry

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Implicating human_only → not_furry
Link to implication

Reason:

A useful tag on its own to avoid pages of pools (or old images) with only humans in them, but some people would additionally like to avoid all non-furry imagery, and cutting down their blacklist by ten characters is helpful.

Currently this isn't considered a valid tag. I think it might have some utility though, personally.

What does everybody think?

Isn't the idea that if an image is human only, it shouldn't be on the site (despite there being two images tagged with "human_only")?

Anything involving a chain of images like parent posts and comics, are OK to upload so long as there is at least one page where not-humans are included. Exceptions can exist to this, though...

+1. There are plenty of old grandfathered pics with nothing but humans in them. And those are not_furry!

I already saw some of those, however don't know why they are in e621 to begin with. Shouldn't such posts be removed after updating the site rules?

That would be punishing people for breaking rules that never existed when they commited the act.
We don't do that. Unless it becomes an actual US law that we can't host something, we won't remove it retroactively.

The removal of those images from the site wouldn't be a punishment; it would be to maintain the site's content in accordance with its current guidelines.

Deleting old irrelevant posts is only considered a punishment because our Upload Limit formula is so simplistic.

We should add a term for Posts That Were Deleted For Special Reasons, like (#PTWDFSR / 4) to the Upload Limit. Then delete all the old irrelevant posts (and increment the uploader's #PTWDFSR value with every deletion).

It's incredibly simple (I think) and a huge improvement in search quality. It allows e6 to be more streamlined and better represent what it wants to be instead of weighed down by the past.

New uploaders complain all the time about their rejected uploads when something very similar was once accepted. This would solve that problem, it's more fair to users and to uploaders!
