General Tag Discussion

@OneOverTwo  
We’re figuring it out. But possibly something like that.

@TexasUberAlles  
They’re Huemans.

@Zeb  
I think they are pointless, and cause tag wars.

Whole lotta people lately need to hide the g1 tag instead of spamming the downvote button.

@TexasUberAlles  
Honestly, I wish more ideas were taken from G1. Not only Tirek, but other villians and adventures.

Is this the place to suggest background pony name tags?
 
Because I came across a great one for the unshaven Daring Do fan in Stranger than Fanfiction, and here’s why I think it is too perfect to pass up:
 

@dynamicv
 
Nope, though there is this thread: https://derpibooru.org/forums/pony/topics/naming-background-ponies-thread

@EPPony  
I mean, it does say “creation of new tags like Background pony names” in the OP of this thread so I assumed this was a good place for it. But I guess I should post it in that Pony forum thread as well so more people see it.

I think there should be an own tag for very large syringe. I made a tag giant syringe.

simple background is frequently misused. Fixed a handful. Don’t want to go through the entire tag.

So if “Anatomically Incorrect” pertains to any body parts being overly “not right,” then why does “Anatomically Correct” ONLY pertain to female genitalia? Is there a tag I should place on art that (for example) has perfectly realistic bat wings on a pony?

@Damaged  
There’s a couple realistic tags you could use instead.

@Dragonpone  
Ah, thank you!

@Damaged  
You’re welcome!

Should [traditional animation](/tags/traditional+animation) be traditional art or just frame by frame?

@whpS0nn  
Both.

Is it possible yet to hide combinations of tags? Just curious.  
For instance: you don’t want to hide either A or B on their own, but you want to hide the pictures that have both A and B in it so you don’t have to add or create a tag and quite possibly enrage people.

@QueenCold  
Yes, that’s what the complex filters are for. Add A, B to hide all images with A and B (it’s basically a search term for images that are excluded from your results).

@Cloppershy  
Are there instructions on the site?

@QueenCold  
Yes, when you edit a filter there’s an explanation for the complex filters.

@QueenCold  
Basically, for what you’re just trying to do, put “tag A, tag B” in your complex filter. If you want to set multiple of these, put them each on their own line.
 
For example, if you have a problem with pictures of, say, Fluttershy and RD together, and Rarity and AJ together, but other combinations of these characters don’t bother you, your complex filter might look like this:
 

Complex filters work just like searches. As in, they use the same syntax.

Thanks!

If you need help figuring out how to write a complex filter for some combination of things, feel free to ask. There’s plenty of us who’d rather help figure out how to parse it if it means preventing people from complaining on images they didn’t want to see but failed to filter.
 
Edit: Maybe we should have a thread dedicated to that.

Double post because separate thing, though I guess kind of along the lines of complex spoilers. How would one go about creating a complex watchlist line for the changeling queen tag for non-Chrysalis stuff (eg, the stuff like Carnifex does ) that won’t just spit back every instance of QC and an OC together since we’re now tagging species on everything including canon characters, exclude any instance where Chrysalis is with another OC queen, and isn’t just drawn by Carnifex? :T
