Feature suggestions and discussion [READ THE FIRST POST]
EquestrianScholar 
Something that I did not see listed in the first post that I would very much like to do, at least for my own profile, is that of being a look up a user’s threads that they started not only recent posts or comments make.

I miss the show so much
Images smaller than 1 kilobyte should have their sizes displayed in bytes, rather than “0 kB”. Some examples:
>>1361065 (574 bytes)
>>1353808 (568 bytes)
>>1351054 (410 bytes)
>>1348939 (539 bytes)
Search for pixel art for more tiny images.
And while we’re speaking of image sizes, I’d like to repeat one suggestion I made three years ago. IIRC this is the third time I’ve suggested this idea :-)

Query regarding the updated forum search: should there be a warning that nsfw threads can pop up or something?

That was kind of an issue with the old search too. I remember one time I was in school (with appropriate filters on) and I did a search on the forums for the word “cute” in topic titles, and the first thing that pops up?
“Cute Pony R34.” (or something like that)
The first post that came up was not a >> embed, nor was it spoilered. So there I was, in class, with horse porn right there on my screen for a brief moment, completely unexpectedly. Luckily nobody seemed to notice.

You’re lucky. My superintendent installed spyware on all of the computers.

I was using my own iPad, so whatever they do with the computers (if anything) wouldn’t have affected that.

Is that even legal? Normally they only have filters at schools…

It’s legal, but highly ethically questionable.
Unfortunately, almost nobody raises debate over the institution of spyware intended to keep people “doing what they are supposed to be doing,” which is disappointing.

Of course, I was the lead technician for a school district for several years, and we did something similar. Have you ever read the Internet/Computer Usage Agreement they make you sign before you can use computers? It flat out says that you’re being monitored.
It’s not watched like a hawk, like if you accidentally click on porn once, they’ll instantly bust into your classroom and drag you out. But instead, usage is generally reviewed and sampled, and if you’re intentionally trying to get to blocked sites, or have files in your downloads folder that are triggering alerts, you’ll be noticed.

Whoah hey, when I was checking my page after I added the commission info stuff, I noticed that my artist tag on my page tells me how many people are watching it. When did that happen? (And why are there that many, aaaugh)

I didn’t notice, obviously. :V I remember people like Badumsquish asking for it every so often, but never actually noticed it got implemented.

I’d like to take this conversation in a slightly different direction, if I may. I’ve been looking at the suggestions for how to make these tags more convenient, and weighing that against the reasons people have been citing for formal standardization. So, a few questions.
-If we had a system in place where you could click on a tag’s + symbol and quickly find related tags, what could we do to make it convenient/user friendly?
-If such a system existed, would it then change your opinion on what to do about obscurely named or pun tags?
-What other ideas do you have for making it easier to find tag names?

Would “related tags” just be tags of the same or lower tier that frequently appeared together?

I was indirectly referring to tag groups, eg. curated lists of tags that share some relationship (like “mane six” or “breast puns” or “straight shipping,” etc.) when I said that. However, I really like your idea, too - you might want to consider throwing that in the feature request thread!

i am going to suggest 2 things, and maybe i will get the free ban for one of them:
1st: from the newly implemented commission section, you could also provide a link to the artist’s commission details when you click on his tag to appear below his name or someplace close to that in the description
2st: about the equestria girls spoiler image: someone who spoils or hide the equestria girls tag, don’t want to see equestria girls, but when you see the “protection” it shows an equestria girls image.
it is like, a spoiler image to protect you from seeing rape with a image of someone who looks like it will rape you or a character with a sexy smirk

Yeah, I agree it’s stupid how many spoiler images have what they’re supposed to be spoilering on them.

I suggested something similar to your first point in the Commission Directory thread a little while ago. Joey seemed interested in adding this in.

If just seeing the spoiler image triggers you, you should probably be hiding the tag instead.

If I, say, spoiler grimdark images, that means I only want to see the grimdark images under certain circumstances (which can’t necessarily be fixed with a complex filter), but I don’t want to hide them altogether. If I’m seeing some incredibly gory image for the spoiler image, that might drive me to hide the tag altogether simply because I don’t want to see the spoiler image, even though I’m fine with the images themselves under the circumstances mentioned earlier.
That probably wasn’t that good of an explanation, but it should get the point across.

Spoiler images must always be safe rated though, and serve their purpose. A counterproductive spoiler image would never become official.
Which is why we have some pretty creative spoiler images for touchy subjects in the first place:

And visuals from the show, for others:

On the topic of spoiler images, the MLP Movie could need its own one, as well as season 7 needs the one for the show.
And I guess spoiler:s07 should be put in the default filter as well.

I’ll get out ahead of this and suggest that a The Movie spoiler be something generic like the official logo or a Gala Ticket or the exterior of one of the theaters from the show or the reel-to-reel projector from Hurricane Fluttershy or >>1149431, because sure as Tartarus some clever so-and-so is going to suggest using That One Highly Controversial Character as the spoiler image.
