dumb question obv i realize I should check anytags I can think of when im doing burs, but i assume its best practice if lets say I have 5 burs request (tags are not similar in each request like requesta: could be genitals requestb: could be type of hair. etc etc) that I should make one bur request and put the next 4 in the same forum and change the forum title to "alot of burs request" (something similar)

or should I just make 5 indivuial threads for it? cause i assume burs should only contain tags that are related so don't put dick changes and hair changes in same bur

As long as they're all related to a theme, they can all be in a single BUR
They should only be broken up if:

  • They hit the maximum line count (25)
  • If you get the antecedent error, which means that a simultaneous request is calling that target (can't request an alias to something that's also getting a request)
  • Community sentiment that some of the requests are good but others are not. (if everyone can agree on 1-7 but not on 8-10)
  • If they're completely unrelated (ideally unrelated things should have their own separate Forum Topic but sometimes we squeeze similar things together for compression)

These could probably be disambiguated rather than completely thrown out, they should theoretically have some valid replacements

African American can go to dark_skin but person of color is a complete mess and not worth saving
