And that excuses failure to properly tag images, how? Misbehaving in order to make a point is the wrong way to go about things.
Try to understand that on Danbooru, descriptive tags apply based on visual traits, not character traits. "Tag what you see, not what you know."
Even if a character is decades, centuries, or millennia in age (chronologically or mentally), if an image depicts them as having a prepubescent body, it's loli enough to get the tag.
If you want to upload loli images and still be able to see and modify those posts, you should probably just pay the upgrade fee.
If somebody tags an image as loli, and you believe it to be in error, either contact a mod, or bring it up in forum #33650.
I view there being a difference between say... Satori and Koishi compared to Remilia and Flandre. Remi and Flandre are characteristically portrayed as having the body of children, since they are children. Satori and Koishi on the other hand are mature yet diminutive. They don't have a wholey prepubsecent body, but they maintain traits of being prepubsecent. The images I uploaded of Satori that received the loli tag, barring the one I dealt with myself, I could understand someone with a harsher view on loli making the call, but as everyone said, use your common sense, and to me, I didn't see the images as needing it.
As for seeing loli images you upload, I still think it should fall within their ability to see all of their uploads given the subjective nature of the tag. If one day, someone goes back and decides to tag an image I upload as loli and it's been a while, I'd prefer to make a judgement call on the spot whether or not I should pursue a mod response to it rather than needlessly waste a mods time in the event that it was an image that deserves the tag and no one put it up until now. Of course being able to easily determine that occuring would require the use of coloured borders based on the image's traits which would probably stay script only if such a system were implemented, though I suppose a search for your username and the loli tag would work just as well, but again, unless you can determine what the images that search brings up are, then you're just looking at a blank page which doesn't serve much purpose.

I'm not sure that you do. Your opinion seems to be that 'mature' characters with childlike bodies engaging in sex acts is an okay thing, and that people who have a problem with such a thing are being silly. That's a fine opinion to have, and I would tend to agree with it after a fashion, but the wiki for the loli tag says it is for "girls who are or appear to be preadolescent". If you're not tagging explicit images with girls that meet that criterion loli, you're not following the rules.
Now, I'm not a mod, so it's not my place to browbeat or threaten you, but the reason for this, as I've already said, is that advertisers don't like their ads showing up next to the type of image we tag with loli. If loli tagging were to get too lax, it would result in ads being pulled and ad revenue being lost. Additionally, what with the legal status of lolicon rapidly changing, this is a matter of the law for some users of Danbooru.
Like I said, if the character is preadolescent/prepubescent/a child, I'd tag it loli when uploading it. I would more than likely avoid this however by not uploading them to begin with, though one can't really classify that as getting around the issue so much as not making the issue occur in the first place so it renders it a moot point for the most part. I can fully understand advertisers being cautious if their ads are next to characters that fall under the prior categories, but when they're simply neotonous, then they're no better than Australia pretty much, though one can't argue a freedom of expression violation since the ad companies are fully within their rights to do whatever they want with their ads, though you could always just counter with discrimination claims towards short and flat girls.

Nah, I would have changed it back. Have some faith in the portion of the userbase above Member level; we're not all senseless prudes.
Good to know at least.
