General Tag Discussion

If a vulgar text is obscured by something, like here [NSFW!], does censored vulgarity tag apply?

@Panko Pai  
I think that’s a bit much to be considered censored, although we never truly resolved whether something like “f*ck” is considered “vulgarity” or “censored vulgarity” or both.

Should there be any difference in tagging between images that depict or directly mention the* coronavirus, and ones that are clearly related or inspired but only by coincidence such as hands-washing or toilet-paper-hoarding?
 
_{*SARS-CoV-2 is the only relevant coronavirus at the moment, not the only coronavirus, of course.}

@Background Pony #F3C9  
Definitely, although I’m not sure what tag you’d want for the latter (perhaps “pandemic precautions” or something? At any rate, tag the thing and not the cause of the thing.)

@Princess Luna  
IMO the distinction between “fuck” and “fck” is only relevant if you’re a primitive swear word filter. If one can tell what words are being used, it should count as “vulgarity”.
 
If it’s fully crossed out, replaced with sound-alikes (frock, frigging) or visual matches (FLICK) or gibberish or grawlix, it should probably count as “implied vulgarity”.
 
If it looks like a partially crossed out swear words but isn’t (“don’t forget to sht the door!”), it should count as “not vulgarity”.

@saby  
That sounds like some good understanding of the topic.
 
I very much agree something like f*ck is not really censored in any way, we still know exactly what the word is and often the context will eliminate any remaining doubts.

Snowball fight (short) needs a yellow tag

@icey wicey 1517  
Done~

What’s the difference between ponysuit and pony costume?

Does leak still have any relevance? Kinda seems unnecessary post-FIM.

@TexasUberAlles  
For G5, Pony Life, also the new movie that they still working on

@Cyan Lightning  
Plus whatever further material may or may not be released in the future. FiM may be done, but the broader franchise is still active.

@TexasUberAlles  
It does still have relevance.

Someone removed the artist tag on >>2303183  
Is that really justified?  
I understand this was made with a camera and someone else’s rig but I’m just not sure.. I see people upload real life images with an artist tag

@Rainboom Dash  
Well I can’t comment on the overall situation, I do question whether the “artist:steve” tag is actually appropriate for that. I don’t see any relation between that artist and the one who made the Rainbow Dash rig.

@Zeb  
No, zee made it  
Steve is the one who uploaded it after using the camera to make it move  
The tag was originally on there then someone removed it then I added it back and then someone removed it again
 
So I’m just making sure..

@Rainboom Dash  

 
That’s what we’ve got the “photographer:” prefix for.
 
While I’m here, I guess Trixie n’abandonne jamais ! should be coloured as official material.

I know that if someone puts a poster by another artist in the background of a scene, we tag that artist too, so tagging the artist that made the thing that is being used as pretty much the entirety of the “what is being shown” in a work is appropriate. EDIT: Or, at least, seems like an appropriate approach to take for me, with the caveat that if the creator of the rig says the rig is free to use without attribution then it’s fine, but if they ask for attribution then that attribution should be there. Just like with fifteen.ai - we’re seeing a lot of people uploading webms that use fifteen.ai without proper attribution.

Since FIM and EqG are done, maybe draw a line under them by removing leak from any image that doesn’t also have pony life, idw, manga, or g5? I think most people who use the tag were doing so to avoid leaks and spoilers from DHX’s open barn door security on unreleased FIM episodes, which isn’t really useful going forward and leaves the tag full of images about episodes that have been out for a year or more.

@TexasUberAlles  
Hmm. Removing the leak tag from G4 material may be worth looking into – at the least I’d assume that if something has been out for, let’s say, a year already, it probably doesn’t need to be tagged as a leak, but more generally my instinct would be to cut the tag from anything that has been officially released already.

@Frustration in Excelsis  
From an archiving point of view, it’s useful to know what content was a leak even if it’s had a subsequent official release. There’s a lot of G4 content that was leaked subsequent to official releases - puppets, storyboards, concept art and so on. I personally think any large-scale pruning of the tag for G4 content would be detrimental.

@Frustration in Excelsis & @Archonix
 
Just to add to this, we need to keep the “leak” tag on images that have been deleted so we know not to restore them. Even if the movie is no longer in theatres, LionsGate is a company with a long memory, and a greedy stable of lawyers who care nothing of “that’s in the past” when there’s the possibility of a judgement in the future.

@Archonix  
I think I see what you mean. Stuff like assets, concept art and storyboards, which is never actually released under normal conditions, should certainly keep the leak tag – after all, there aren’t going to be any non-leak sources for that sort of material.
 
My original thought was more narrow – I was thinking of material like screencaps or gifs taken from leaked episodes, or fan art inspired by leaked material – like these two screencaps, or this piece here, just to have some specific examples. Should those keep the leak tag?
 
@Derpy Whooves  
That’s also a very valid concern.

@Derpy Whooves  
oh, it is  
I put in the comments I think both should be there.. added it back with the person who made the rig and then someone removed it again and just left the person who made the rig  
This is why I find it really silly someone would remove that tag… I’m wondering if it was a complete accident and they ment to remove some other tag
