So, aside from the fact I noticed that someone has been on the warpath and removing all the individual character names of the power ponies super heros, the one for Fluttershy, Saddle Rager, is improperly listed as Saddle RANGER.

Anything anyone can do about this?

The character's name is a pun on Rage, for obvious reasons.

Created an alias from saddle_ranger_(mlp) to saddle_rager_(mlp).

Also I'm not entirely sure why we have so many tags that people are automatically suffixing with _(mlp). It's an unnecessary distinction if there's no conflict in the tagging to begin with. I highly doubt we're going to have a "saddle_rager" that's NOT MLP at any point in this site's existence. Same goes for a ton of other tags that have the _(mlp) suffix. Probably just need to alias them to versions without suffixes at some point.

Also please make sure you report users who are removing valid tags from posts. Thanks!

Ive also seen a shit load of people using (eg) on original characters like fluffle poof. Fluffles not from equestrian girls and her human form doesn't automaticly make it such xD

Valid tags? When was it decided? Why did it never get communicated to us?

Alright, I'll make the forum thread again and we'll see how it goes. But currently the tags are allowed because we're not specifically disallowing them, and the reason why we're not currently disallowing them is because it was never agreed upon by the admins to not allow them in the previous thread where this was debated.

I'll post a new thread as soon as I can.

Edit: here's the thread: https://e621.net/forum/show/98600 Please direct your questions and comments there.

I would like to point our for the record that the "war path" was prior to proper discussion, and as soon as said discussion happened, I at least, stopped changing the tags either way pending a formal decision.

If someone has continued removing those tags, it wasn't me, and is a whole seperate issue.

Well, I do not know who has been removing the power ponies tags, but should I find the history of them being changed, I'll make sure to notify who is doing so.

Also, yeah, basically ,anything with the _(mlp) tag should be under "my_little_pony" and/or "Friendship_is_magic" and thus, be a better key point for people to blacklist/search.

This would be the same as having all pokemon tagged with _(pokemon)
