Tag Vandalism?

Posted under General

Hi all,

Just got on my account and recieved notice i had a bad mark put on my record. I can see that at some point my account was used to delete tags. I dunno how that wouldve happened, so I'm going to reset my password to something stronger as a precaution.

sorry about that

It looks like your account, along with others, was hijacked to vandalize post #1. Looking through its recent tag history, I see the same kind of edits from several accounts, most of which were created months or years ago and some have legitimate activity.

Can someone more powerful investigate it better, please?

Anyway, I think your negative record should be removed.

The “vandalism” on post #1 looks more like some kind of bug to me. Otherwise, it’s the weirdest kind of vandalism I’ve seen so far. Why would anyone want to wipe all tags except for one? Most of the time, only the character tag remains, but sometimes it’s a single other tag, except for “panties underwear” because panties has an implication to underwear and can’t remain on its own. Rating, source or parenting never get wiped along with the other tags, which makes it look like a problem with the tag string.

It's post #1. The pinaccle and start f Danbooru. Some vandals seem to find it funny to mess with that for this reason alone.
