Sometimes, the images get transferred over before the finalized tags are set on Danbooru.

However, most of the subjective tags do come from our own users.

Sexy is now down to less than 3900.

By the way, is "epic" also considered a subjective tag?

We came to the conclusion its on the same ground as tags like "what" and "poorly_drawn". It's not useless to warrant removal, but it could probably use a look-through to get rid of stuff that doesn't apply.

EDIT: "fail" is on the same ground as "epic", right?

I went through the first 350 pages of tags and deleted a good number of one-off bad tags; mostly misspellings, forgotten underscores and dumb stuff like aaaaaaahhhhhh and holy_shit! otherwise I put it into a to-do list. I later looked up whether it was aliased or not. I'll leave it here for now, let me know what you think.

Jesus, that is way too complex to remember. For tags like that, I'd rather alias the American name to it.

Bad_anatomy is related to tags like "bad_hands", "bad_feet", etc. Bad_proportions is for poor body proportions. Is that enough to warrant aliasing them together?

I've eliminated 'pleasured' before looking at your list, together with all instances I could find of mispelled 'censored'. I also added the 'censored' tag to all derived phrases like 'poor_censored' (sic), 'badly_censored', 'partially_censored' & what not.

I'll watch this tag closely from now on. I don't know why some users feel the need to be creative with that word. To me, it's an absolute & very few human inventions have more disastrous consequences than censorship. I do not mean only where sexuality is concerned.

What tags should be used are these:

- decensored: I'm not crazy for it but it has its uses so let's keep it.

- censor_bar: for users who can still enjoy a picture if there's only this little blight. I can't but others should be offered a fair chance for their viewing pleasure.

- censored: it should always be mentioned whenever there's the slightest bit of moral editing. I don't care whether it's light or heavy, whether it's a mosaic, a bar, an erasure or the head of Doraemon, it needs to be tagged. Period.

- uncensored: this is even worse! It's often used for decensored which is not the same thing at all & even more often unused. If genitalia is fully visible without any indication of censorship, please do use it. It saves time & at least quite a few users whose comments I've read need it for their search. For the record, I don't, but no matter: let us be considerate & help all.

Any other *_censored seems useless, but I'll have to rethink it, maybe. I'm quite exasperated right now after having just deleted 58 'sinsored' which were added AFTER 'censored' had already been tagged. I don't know if it was supposed to be witty, but I terminated it anyway.

Sorry for the bad temper & the harsh language, I needed to get this off my chest. ><;

reduced the hot tag to 336, removed over 100 by myself.
removed a few sexy tags as well, now that i have time to do it.

Right. And I misspelt 'misspelled'. How silly. I'm kicking myself. Should always read again when angry. Idiot.

Thought of another, quite useful after all:

- convenient censoring: the only kind that's perfectly tolerable if done with any taste. I'll be using it whenever genitalia or female nipples are covered & the character is otherwise nude. I hope that's the correct procedure & I'm not misusing the phrase in a too broad sense. :)

Convenient censoring is something like bath steam(Theres convenient_bath_steam for that, I think!), or something like flowers/leaves/grass covering certain bits in an image that takes place outside.

EDIT: gelbooru.com/index.php?page=wiki&s=view&id=24

Most of those sound like good suggestions. However, whipping and spanking are seperate things. Whipping involves a whip, while spanking involves bare hands or flat, blunt objects.

Hot is down to 11 pages, part of which is correctly tagged. (It the character is physically overheated, hot should stay) I'll work on the rest tomorrow afternoon.
