Topic: Tag removal automation (forced_patners)

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Hello,

A 2-3 months ago, "forced_partners" was wrongly added to 300 2000 posts, when a character forces another one, without any third party (visible or not) involved.

post #3704873

Is there an API endpoint available so I can automate a fix?

Updated

How were these ~300 instances of the tag wrongly added? Was there an implication/alias/mass update? I don't know about the API, but I'm just trying to understand this thread.

I think the (now banned) user who added this tag everywhere misunderstood it:

- https://e621.net/post_versions?commit=Search&search%5Btags_added%5D=forced_partners&search%5Bupdater_id%5D=422436
- https://e621.net/post_versions?commit=Search&search%5Btags_added%5D=forced_partners&search%5Bupdater_id%5D=2176141

Actually I didn't notice the pagination first, so it is more than 2000 posts

probably just report the user's account, explain the situation and request a mass undo of the times this user added these tags.

For the record user reverts do exist but they're limited to 1000 changes, so grabbing your nearest privileged user would be doing just the same as any moderator

Goes without saying that you gotta make sure valid tags aren't caught in the crossfire

yeah, but a report feels less kinda "personal" I guess. trying to find a priv+ user to ask to do something, even on the forums would feel a bit awkward especially since the thread's OP isn't really a prominent user. heck, _I'd_ probably feel weird about asking someone do to something like this.

it's just kinda easier to make a report ticket and drop it in the queue and leave it.

when it's ~1k edits with like 95+% failure rate it's probably not worth checking them individually.
