Topic: Tag alias: dread-fox -> Solace

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

I am not against your change in online identity, but sadly the tag "solace" is already being used as a character tag. Worse is that "solace_(artist)" is also taken, and the one post that has it has a dead source, so there's no way of knowing how else to identify that other artist who went by that name.

Edit: Never mind on that other artist; turns out they use hyphens in their name as s-o-l-a-c-e. Still, you can't claim the singular "solace" tag; that one needs to be disambiguated.

My main account is SolaceOpossum, would the tag "SolaceOpossum_(artist)" be ok?

Or just solaceopossum. (If you want, you can even parse it as solace_opossum if you want the Opossum to be like a last name.) You only really need the _(artist) bit if there's also a character named solace_opossum/solaceopossum you might need to differentiate your artist tag from.

Yeah, just SolaceOpossum works perfectly fine then!

That is because the "antecedent name has already been taken", right? The name in question is dread-fox, and the alias request at the top of this topic has taken it. If you ask a mod to reject it on Discord, the error message will not appear again.

So what's the go on this?
I noticed that my character tag reads as "solace_(solaceopossum)" but my artist name is still Dread-Fox.

Moved the dread-fox posts to solaceopossum manually.
The alias will be handled... at some point in the future.
