Rating tags general

@saby
Sometimes people rate Explicit under the idea tentacle slime is a sexual fluid (it really isn’t…at least in theory). It’s one of the minor problems with the current ratings guidelines.

>>2770919 is part of an explicit/semi-grimdark comic, but I think this image counts as safe…right now it’s tagged questionable.

If it gets re-rated, several of the comments, which were appropriate for the series, would now be above rating and would need spoilering…

@Background Pony #4230
I think the Questionable rating may have been a mistake because of the nipples, despite the flat chest.

Two of these are safe and one is suggestive; I think they should all be suggestive?

>>2963782 and >>2882773: explicit, vulva, nipples, see-through or questionable, cameltoe, nipple outline?

@Background Pony #4230
First set definitely looks Suggestive. Not sure about the second being Safe. As for schroedinger’s clothing, the former tagging seems to make more sense, especially for the upper stuff where it’s clear there’s too much detail to be outlining.

Safe or Suggestive?
>>2972234

@Background Pony #B065
Hmm, definitely on the edge either way, but I’m thinking on the Safe side.

>>2977338
Explicit or questionable? Given the blatant depiction, I’m guessing explicit.

@Brokedownandmadeone
Blatancy isn’t really what affects ratings, it’s a thick stick figure standing with an arm out pasted over a pony with a smile; even Questionable is on the high side, this I think is Suggestive.

@Princess Luna
I figured that image falls under at least one of these under the tag guidelines
-Explicit

@Brokedownandmadeone
Descriptions are text, only the first of those even comes into play, and it requires we believe that something’s actually being stimulated, i.e. not just vaguely implied.

So, >>2897827 was re-rated from “questionable” to “safe” by Princess Luna, after which the tag “nipples” was removed.
Um, was that a mistake, or what?

@Background Pony #4230
I think I missed the nipples (which should be tagged) at the time, but I still think Safe is correct given that they’re not on apparent breasts.

>>2983149 Normally I’d tag this subject (a goofy vampire pic where the victim deflates like a balloon and doesn’t care that much) as Safe. But the slight bit of visible blood, and the bite marks on the victim’s neck, make me wonder if it should be Semi-grimdark instead?

@radpanic
Hmmm, I think Safe is okay, but it’s definitely borderline.

>>2983055 is currently safe, but I think it should be suggestive?

@Background Pony #4230
I think it should be Suggestive because her panties say “insert coin”. I think it would be Safe without that, but just barely.

There is a glitch where tags can be removed some how isk how it keeps happening

@Background Pony #40B1
Tag removal is intended site behaviour. If you keep accidentally deleting tags while you edit tags (perhaps by hitting Return or mistapping), maybe Plain Mode tag editing would be easier to handle? You can change that by clicking the button at the bottom of the tag box.

Don’t know what to tag this in reference to Luna’s crotch. >>2986757
Left it questionable because lack of detail.

>>2938845 is currently “suggestive”, but ought to be “safe”, right?

@Brokedownandmadeone
Featureless mounds on the body alone shouldn’t hit Questionable. As for Suggestive, it’d have to either be sexually shown off (a no in this case) or “prominent”. “Prominent” for these purposes is pretty narrow, it’d basically either need to be a huge chunk of the image, or be visually odd in a really attention-grabbing way, like being weirdly shiny or protruding at least as much from the body for its scale as an average boob. That’s also a no, thus Safe.

@Background Pony #4230
Yes.

@Princess Luna
I didn’t even know “implied anus and vulva” were even tags. At least I know now I guess.

For >>2988926 and >>2988928, I’m not sure if they should be “grotesque” because it’s a character melting, or “safe” because it’s cartoony and the pony doesn’t appear very distressed.

@radpanic
It’s a bit of an edge case. Also, we use Semi-grimdark, not Grotesque, for that kind of melting without gore even when it is rather dark-looking.
