Topic: Tonight's Random Aliases

The bulk update request #12576 is pending approval.

create alias rape_pregnancy (126) -> forced_impregnation (361)

Reason: These are the same thing, though forced_impregnation is broader.

The bulk update request #12586 is pending approval.

create alias unwanted_sex (13) -> rape (55534)

Reason: Synonyms.

The bulk update request #12588 is pending approval.

create alias hurting (52) -> pain (11884)

Reason: These seem to be used synonymously.

The bulk update request #12590 is pending approval.

create alias glazed_eyes (57) -> dull_eyes (86)

Reason: These are the same thing, as far as I can tell, but dull_eyes has more uses and a wiki description.

The bulk update request #12591 is pending approval.

create implication sexual_assault (1751) -> forced (110618)

Reason: I'm surprised this implication doesn't already exist.

The bulk update request #12593 is pending approval.

create alias throat_grab (775) -> neck_grab (2829)

Reason: Functionally synonyms. Aliasing less-used to more-used.

The bulk update request #12623 is pending approval.

create alias tight_undergarment (5) -> tight_underwear (1230)

Reason: Same meaning.

Could this and the random implications thread be pinned? They're useful for collecting minor requests that don't warrant a full thread, but most people don't know about these threads since they keep getting pushed off the front page.

The pinned topics already take up more than 1/8 the available space if you aren't searching with an order, I'd like to think the ideal move would be to lessen that and not increase it

A pinned useful information topic that compiles everything would probably work wonders and make that a non-issue

The bulk update request #12626 is pending approval.

create alias implied_cuckold (32) -> invalid_tag (0)

Reason: This was already done for implied_infidelity. Cuckoldry is a subtype of infidelity, so it should go as well.

I've actually been wondering if this thread should be retired. What's the point of putting completely distinct alias requests into a little thread? Who decides what are "minor requests that don't warrant a full thread"? Related requests can go into a single thread (e.g. a thread to discuss and handle implied_* tags more generally), but separated requests should go into separate threads to help ensure visibility, especially for users that may not visit the forums every day and not know which requests are new since they last looked. How many people are going to look into a multi-page thread that is already marked "[APPROVED]"?

If you really want to ak-shoo-ally it, this and "Tonight's Random Implications" technically aren't official threads. I made them some time ago as my own personal dumping grounds for minor nothingburger aliases or implications that I figured (not always rightly) didn't really need any discussion before an Admin punched that accept button. However, others wanted to post in them, and I'm not so selfish as to hog them to myself, so it's gone on from there. :p

That hadn't occurred to me before. Thanks for mentioning that. I can easily edit it out.
