Can you provide any reasoning for this change? At a glance, it seems utterly unnecessary, and I’m not keen on it.

Site and Policy » Possible change to Creator tags. [Opinions needed] » Topic Opener
Hello Everypony (and other creatures),
we, the Staff have been discussing a topic which we would like the community’s opinion on.
Since the start of Tantabus there have been three sorts of creator tags. “Prompter”, “Editor” & “Artist”
Now, there has been talks in the staff channels to combine these three creator tags into a single tag.
Since the start of Tantabus there have been three sorts of creator tags. “Prompter”, “Editor” & “Artist”
Now, there has been talks in the staff channels to combine these three creator tags into a single tag.
The staff already came up with a few suggestions like keeping “Prompter” as the single unified creator tag, but we also thought of alternatives like “Creator” or “Director”. if you have any idea or preference what this tag should be called if it is decided to continue this change, we would love to hear it.
This does not impact the “AI generated” & “AI Composition” tags. These will be functioning the same if it is decided that we go through with this change.

We would like to know your opinion on this idea, if you think this change will be a good idea or not, and to help us with ideas what to name this unified tag.

Hi, could we get data dumps back up and running? Last one was from 2025-07-23

Just makes it a little trickier to find people willing to do image generation on behalf of others, that’s all.

X/day in general is really bad idea
X/week is somewhat fine
But in general you have filters
Just sort out low quality spammers and thats it

We disabled the commission listing here because of the experience on derpi of the overhead it creates while not actually having that much engagement. Basically plenty of people treat it as more than a listing and think the site itself is handling the listing or even acting as a middleman, and moderating that sort of stuff where money’s involved is… not great. Add to that the aspect of AI and art styles, our collective livers don’t need the extra punishment.
No issue with there being a thread or people linking stuff on their profiles and images, though.

There could be a market of people who would rather pay other people to make AI-generated pony-related images for them. People who don’t want to spend the time to learn the intricate ways of coaxing the best images out of a generator, or don’t want to put their money directly into a website that does image generations. Pay someone who’s already familiar with how to manipulate the software.

While we certainly appreciate the proposal, I think that what we have currently is okay and can just deal with the problem people as they arise.

The DB upload limits on AI (2/day as I recall) were straight up moral panic, since people could just as easily spam-upload their entire scanned sketch book or 50 different angles of their 3D scene. The specific targeting of AI was misguided, but the idea upload limits wasn’t without merit.
I’d like to propose a less restrictive (and fair) version for tantabus. It would help people fight the temptation to upload every generation from a session, and save viewers from seeing a wall of similar images when they first load the site. It shouldn’t feel punitive or be something that most people would run up against in ordinary usage, though. Maybe 10 / day?

We will add badges, yes.
Sorry things are slow, life is a lot.

I’ve talked with the staff about this and there aren’t any… yet.

I’m curious to know… what kind of badges are there on this site? and how do you get them?

This will mostly be used to highlight features specific to Tantabus, or that could be relevant to all users. For most updates and feedback you should check the thread on derpi, as that’s the primary for Philomena development.
Now with that said…
[March 19 2025]
- New search and tag suggestions
- Go to Settings and Metadata (Fancy tags) and Local (search auto-completion) to enable
- This will autosuggest tags as you type so long as they exist on an image
- This will show if a suggestion is aliased
- For searches, you can set to also keep search history
- CivitAI post scraper
- The upload “Fetch” function now supports CivitAI
/posts/#URLs- This will grab the images under a given CivitAI post, and you can select which to use
- Direct image URLs aren’t supported (API limitation), but every image is part of a Post, even if it’s just one
- Fetch still uses “artist:” instead of something more appropriate… we’ll work on that

Yes, though we plan to vector them at some point to be proper SVGs.

Thank you, I was sceptical if I should get any response about it (since I was worried I might have sounded rude), but it’s really great to hear that it was approved.
I’ll be able to put more detailed tags now that I don’t have to worry it being worth to “waste an edit slot” as before. Your lift of the limit and the tagging tool are a godsents.

There are some account limitations to avoid “vandalism”; unfortunately the automatic “check if they should be exempt” triggers are mostly based on image uploads.

Your account should not be subject to those limitations anymore.
Additionally, you should have access to the batch tagging tool (click, get popup to a prompt to do
tag1, tag2, -tag3, tag4, click on all images across gallery / search pages, submit).Thank you for your help with tagging, and please let us know if you have any more questions or concerns!

I’ve been editing the tags in the pictures for some time and it has become a real chore to need to wait for the next day when backlog of pictures gets higher than my ability to edit them (even if I only edit the feral ones). Is there any way to remove that limit to trusted tag editors?
I think 500+ changed tags that are valid (even if we make 10% wrong as the benefit of the doubt) should be enough to get me enough trust to give someone unlimited tag edits.

Honestly, if there’s one thing Derpi/Philomena desperately needs, it’s parent/child posts.

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.
