Hey,
I was expanding some character tags into full names and I thought about the idea about aliasing the originals into the new ones. Now, I saw that aliases are admin-approved only, so I got stopped with this.
In my opinion, if some characters have full first and last names and their first are unique enough then those could be aliased freely to their full variants. I know about the character_(owner) format as well but that usually applies only if someone has multiple characters with somewhat common names and not single main fursonas.

Could you list some of the tags?

I agree that unique first_last character name tags are preferable to first_(owner) tags, and should be aliased to it. You can use the Request alias tool to help improve e6 this way!

Sorry, I got back here a bit late.

One of would be Exec -> Exec_Thunderhorn.

People who have the name_(owner) format usually have multiple OCs and don't use full first and last names that often.

The second point of my topic was to let character tags only freely aliased without a request. The first was just asking if aliasing names would be acceptable.

I don't see that happening. People are shitty, and this will immediately get abused.

Generally speaking, aliasing a character's unique first name to their full name should be acceptable. Although there's no real way that can be done automatically or "freely" since it can be debatable whether a given first name is truly unique, or if there's something less well known that shares the name or could be confused with the name, which should get a disambiguation instead. It would need discussion through an alias request.
