ofag: @Anonymous: Don't ask us. You're not supposed to, I guess, this site is primarily a database/archive of pornographic fanart, but not the place where you're supposed to come for porn to jerk off.
There have been people requesting content tags for years, but I don't think the administration has ever given any answer other than "just no", "it would be a mess" or "we don't want to be like all the other sites".
Anonymous5: @ofag:
if you look at ALL the other booru sites that have TONS of tags, you would see the problem, the fact is even there tags are subjective apparently, both Dan and Gel have been deleting or changing tags over the years, making a mess of images.
Anyway, this site is indeed mostly to archive specifically rule34 images, thats the primary "fetish" if you will. Users mostly come here to fap to Flintstones, MLP, or Sonic porn images, thats their main fetish. All other fetishes are just icing on the cartoon porn cake.
HanJuri: You answered your own question. When people start adding their own content tags, things get messy and conflicting very fast. Who the fuck would ever search for Ectomorph? There are a dozen other synonyms for that, and you can bet they would all get added by various people on various images, thus "splitting" the tag. That's why this site tries to stick to series/character/artist as much as possible.
ofag: @HanJuri: technically, we already have tag aliases, so it would be reasonably easy to keep track of all the newly appearing tags and checking if they should be standalone or joined with something else.
traffik: @ofag: "it would be reasonably easy to keep track of all the newly appearing tags"
That's rich. The majority of this site's users are lazy as fuck. There's only a handful of people who truly take the time to make sure that everything's tagged the way it should be. And for those people, the addition of content tags would be a nightmare.
Farfegnugen: Series, character, and artist are too advance for people anyway.
@ofag: You are mistaking converting a Japanese title or name to the English version for something else. Even that's not perfect.
Shouldn't there be several additional tags, like "slave collar" and "Ectomorph?"
