Also, that’s besides the point. The point is that the internet is a key thing nowadays, the only way many people know how to or even can talk to large numbers of people, and is more or less entirely privately owned, which brings up interesting questions about where private property ends and public space begins.

Well, how about the icon of the website? Will you guys change it? This is derpibooru after all, not trixiebooru.

>And to that new “Don’t downvote a picture, hide it in your filters”, can’t you add a feature which hides a picture you downvote?
 
As I understand it, this rule is intended to encourage people to use filters rather than downvotes. Making them one-in-the-same might confuse people into thinking that they’re completely in-line with the rules when they downvote-hide all the images in a specific tag (which would be against the rule regarding mass downvoting).
 
Also, if you find an image that you want to filter, you should really try to filter by the tag(s) representing what you dislike in the image, not just that one image.
 
Although, if you really need to filter a single image out, then the complex filter functionality allows that (can filter by the image’s ID number).

By my knowledge the site’s icon has always been Trixie’s cutie mark. Nepotismmmmmmmmmmmm
 
As for the “hide when downvote”: that’s for the feature suggestion thread. And no, don’t bother. That has been repeatedly requested and denied. Too much strain on the system considering the amount of users, if I recall right.

In principle, that’s technically what it is to ban comments / pictures that promote Nazi ideology. A horrible one, but an ideology nonetheless. But again, this is why I keep saying they’re beholden to Germany’s laws, since Germany banned it.
 
Though I suppose what Nazis are so notorious for could be covered under rule 0. But anyone well informed historically will know that there was more to it than that. Point being, a promotion of national solidarity, in principle, shouldn’t be deleted for promoting the Nazis, and in principle, it’s a bit hypocritical since the Soviets did worse. But, in practice, they say they’re beholden to Germany’s laws, so so be it.

I don’t think the mods are going to ban people for having unpopular opinions. They aren’t dictators.
 
We don’t, unless you’re using them as an excuse to start drama intentionally, or attacking others for their opinions.
 
Bans are handed out when people are behaving maliciously and intentionally. If you’re not trying to instigate drama, or you accidentally slip up antagonize someone once because you’re having a bad day, or anything like that, you’re probably not going to get a ban. Everyone here is human (we think), humans make mistakes and have bad days. We get that.
 
Even if you do get banned, it’d probably be for 24 hours at most for a first offense, unless you really went out of your way to do whatever you did.
 
@Exedrus  
Downvotes are for images, filters are for themes. For example, if you like vore, but see a picture you feel is poorly drawn, portrayed in a way you don’t like, etc, then you should downvote it. If you do not like vore, then you should filter it instead and not downvote pictures simply because you dislike their theme.
 
Same goes for comments - saying something like “I dislike this picture because the legs look really weird and anatomically incorrect, perhaps you should look up a few leg tutorials” is completely fine. Saying “I dislike this picture because it contains Applejack and I don’t like her” is a problem.
 
(disclaimer: I like Applejack and find her incredibly sexy. I just used her as an example)

We’re not Youtube. We’re not Facebook. However they do their whatever has no impact on this site. Please stop derailing this thread discussing how they handle things.

→ Images should have a source URL to an original location where the image was originally posted. If an image is artwork that is intended by the artist to only be posted to Derpibooru, then please use the “Derpibooru Exclusive” tag to identify it as such.
So, if I were to create a drawing/pic and hosted it here, but had no objections to it being posted elsewhere, I would not use the “Derpibooru Exclusive” tag?  
I just wish to be fully clear on this.

No, lots of Derpibooru exclusive artwork gets shared to other sites. Derpibooru exclusive just means that the artist doesn’t actually post it anywhere besides Derpibooru themselves (like, they don’t post it on DA or Tumblr or anything like that). That rule could probably be worded better.

That tag would apply, as you, the artist, only posted it here. If other people post it elsewhere, that doesn’t change the fact that Derpibooru is still the only “first party source” of the image, per se.
 
@TexasUberAlles  
the artist has posted to Derpibooru and nowhere else
 
I wouldn’t want to word it like that. Some artists don’t like posting images themselves anywhere, but gave permission to a friend to share them on Derpibooru. It’s not common, but there are some Derpibooru Exclusive images that were uploaded by someone other than the artist.

It's bad. In a good way!
It’s more about the attitude. “Hey, you missed these tags/added the wrong tags, but I fixed it, keep an eye on that in future” vs “fix your tags faggot”.
 
That second example would be breaking rule #0, which makes this rule seem even more pointless. But thinking about it again makes it seem simple now. The actual problem is people who complain and then don’t change it right? So just add into the rule that it’s not okay to complain unless you fixed it. I think that makes both sides happy.
 
@Cirrus Light  
Am I reading this right and the thing you’re bothered by is the removal of stuff that promotes nazism? Because if so, I am completely with you. There are much worse things being promoted in images here after all. And they’re not getting removed. It’d just be provoking the people with these scary ideologies. And goes against free speech too I guess. It’d also be a judgement call on if it’s really satire or not in most cases. Which leads to bias.

I was wondering if this rule is still true:

@Vree  
The typical mod response to someone making a sexytimes comment on a safe image is to edit it so it’s in spoiler syntax, so yeah. If whatever comment you’re making would require a tag beyond safe if it were the text of a tweet image, you should probably put it in a spoiler.
