Your proposal is the creation of another 6M+ tag that would have 98-or-so% overlap with solo, purely to avoid potentially having to do a negative search to filter out one post every couple of pages on average. Is that /really/ a more reasonable solution, or a feasible solution at all?
chartags:1 is not a solution either due to gachas and costume tags.

You're right. Having another tag that can't be implied would place an unnecessary burden on users. It's clearer after reading through the thread (which I did read through before but forgot about). If expanding solo's use would allow both concepts to be searchable, then I support it on a theoretical level. What I'm skeptical about is how realistic it would be to actually achieve that.

If NNT's claim of most users misusing the tag still holds true now, then maybe the transition will be smoother. In that case, the few people that use it "correctly" can be notified through DMail about the new standard. But it might be harder if most users are following the current guidelines.
