The creator tags have migrated. All "prompter" and "artist" tags have been migrated to "creator". Please check your watched tags, as they might have disappeared from your watch lists due to the change.

Something of an artist
What’s the difference between “faceless male” and “offscreen male”? I thought “faceless male” should be used when the male’s head is visible but doesn’t have a defined face (like in the picture below), but this tag implies “offscreen male” for some reason.

I did update both the Rarity and Twilight versions to imply the character. However, I also didn’t add the anal slut as an implication.
Huh, why not the anal slut one?
Looking at the use of that tag, it seems to keep getting added to images that don’t show anal, so even adding the implication anal is not a great idea.
Also, while Coco Pommel is an anal slut is a funny and friendly community tag, like shining armor is a goddamn moron, implying slut or anal slut, or even adding those to the same images, is different by many degrees.
It’s like having the Shining Armor tag imply goddamn moron or moron. An image qualifying for shining armor is a goddamned moron doesn’t mean he’s really being a moron or that the image is worth vulgarity. Sometimes he’s just being his adorkable self. In the same way, Coco Pommel may be getting all hot and bothered and putting a hoof over her butt simply because of the mere presence of anal toys (or suggestively shaped vegetables) sitting on a shelf, so the coco is an anal slut tag would be appropriate, but implying anal slut is not, any more than anal would be.
Also, the slut tag in and of itself is much more derogatory, and is something that often ends up causing some tag warring, like the tag whore, which some people use too subjectively because of their own hangups about fetishes. So, personally, I am not a fan of adding those implications.

@Background Pony #356F - There’s a bunch of camera angles, maybe they should be handled more as a group. Could you please open a new thread in the tagging discussion forum? I will when I get more time but right now I’m kind of swamped with other things.
@Pipette Poster - Set up your creator link.
@Background Pony #356F - done, also added the implication makeup to all the images that were missing it.
I’ll look through this thread more when I get caught up with some other stuff. In the meantime, if you are waiting for an alias, particularly for creator tags, please ask again and I’ll treat it as a priority.
Also, the more detail you put into why one tag should be aliased into another tag will help - don’t assume I or anyone else on staff knows which character is also which other character in a show other than MLP.

Repeating from here:
@Heat Sink
BUG REPORT:
When the upload form pre-fills some tags, for example username from Twitter, it still prefills it as prompter: instead of the new creator:. Also, the tag prompter needed should change to creator needed or creator name needed.

Use this thread to report technical site issues (ie. bugs). Please be as concrete as you can when reporting something.
I can’t see images!
Is not a good report.
Pressing ‘View’ on images uploaded this morning results in a broken image on Chrome on Mobile but not on my Desktop computer.
Is a great and very helpful report.
If you find something that you consider a SECURITY issue, please do not make a post about it - instead please send an email to [email protected]. We take security very seriously and are fans of reasonable disclosure.
Also please search for similar problems in this thread before reporting something, in case someone else has already reported it.

Hmmm … it seems we don’t have a general ‘Report Bugs Here’ thread. I’ll ask the rest of staff if it would be ok to make a new one for things like that so it’s easier for devs to find.

If you add a static image to the WebM that shows something AI that matches the theme of the music, like as-if an album/CD cover, that would be absolutely ok. Not sure how that’s done in WebM tools but in something like Adobe Premier Rush, just open a PNG as your new project and add a track for the music, and if necessary adjust the ‘length’ of the single image to match the length of the audio track. If you have some music you’d like to try give me a link and I’ll try to make something with it.

Schrodinger's Spyro seems a little specific, unless there’s a lot of unspecific dragons that look like Spyro. So … maybe Schrodinger's Character which is an alias of the main tag Ambiguous Character? That way the evocative fun tag still works but the more generalized and universal tag is there to bind them all together in the darkness and chaos.
Shrodinger's Spyro can remain a separate character if you think it’s good, and it can imply ambiguous character so people who are either looking for or want to hide those can do so without a translation guide.
Let me know how it ends up - you can send me a PM.

How about merging high angle and from above? I don’t think there’s a difference.

They are my guess for why this image has a relatively low score.
Yeah, some people avoid filtering and then are upset at things they don’t like. I don’t get it. Proper filtering would solve the downvote problem, but of course not the lack of attention problem.

Default search

If you do not specify a field to search over, the search engine will search for posts with a body that is similar to the query's word stems. For example, posts containing the words winged humanization, wings, and spread wings would all be found by a search for wing, but sewing would not be.
