Why do we have a galge.com tag? Can't people just use source:*galge.com if they want watermarked wallpapers?

That would require them all to have proper sources which they don't. (post #814, post #3960, post #6688)
If you want to go through and source them all then sure.
Do galge.com violate the TOS for watermark? I'm not sure how that site works. And if watermarking is prohibited, why are there still 52 pages of it? Besides just mistaken tagging (source:*.pixiv.* watermark, etc...).
Watermarking TOS is for third party watermarks that were put on after the fact. So if an artist puts on a watermark, or the site puts one on, if that's the only source there is, that's fine.
In most cases galge.com wallpapers are exclusives, at least I think?
As for the tag, I guess a pool is better.

How strictly should we enforce this? I just flagged some things for having third party watermarks (post #640107, post #656419) but they were reapproved. Personally, I don't think they should ever be allowed.

I'd say that the quality of those images outweighs the watermark, though tracking down a non-watermarked version of them should be encouraged.

Curses. I was skimming through all the Len/Rin images on pixiv looking for post #656419, but I got caught up uploading pictures I found along the way, and someone else beat me to the punch. That picture can be deleted now that the original's been found.

This. Be cautious about scale of the watermark to the image, if you have to hunt for the watermark and we don't have a non-watermarked version I wouldn't worry about it. If the watermark is huge like deviantart's I would weigh the picture's quality against the obtrusiveness of the watermark. If an unwatermarked version appears don't be afraid to unapprove.

For the record (and this is off-topic but I wanted to point it out anyway), saucenao.com indexes all pixiv images using the iqdb engine, you could've just used that to find the original.
