Tag Discussion: Combining some tags that imply insanely large size

Posted under General

In playing a recent eroge (I always feel like Konata when on this forum/other sites) a description of breasts that I hadn't heard or seen used before popped up: Bomb Breasts. While the breasts were questionable in their accuracy in their shapes <-> description, one truth was undeniable was they were enormous beyong reason.

Putting my personal feelings/dislike of excessively large breasts, you think it proper/easier to group the very large breasts into the (what would be new) bomb_breasts tag - ones such as gigantic_breats, huge_breasts, massive_breasts, and other ones where the breast size goes well beyond even the largest breast size?

The other area where I see we could combine tags is with image resolutions. There's nearly an equal number of tags describing overly large images which (in most cases) don't really help much. Since the filesize is clearly posted on every image, adding the absurdres or insanely_absurd tag doesn't really help much; where in fact the actual scanning resoltion could be very low, just taken from an image that is (physically) very large (like a movie poster or banner) but its resolution is only 72 or lower, but still has a filesize or 4 or 5 mb.

Using something simplier like low_res (pretty self explanatory), high_res (though it would be based on the image resolution and not its size - a 250 x 250 file that's 4 mb is going to be at least 600+ dpi, truly a high resolution) then a large_filesize and enormous_filesize to notate images that are disproportionally large in mb's relative to their dimensions.

Sorry, I don't mean to ruffle any feathers here; imo there are a few tag groupings that have too many tags to describe the same characteristic. Sites like Moe.Imouto that have fewer tags but are more precise I find them easier to do narrow searches that don't require 4 or 5 +/- signs in their search criteria.

I really don't see a reason to change the current tags in anyway for any of the cases you bring up.

I can understand your reasoning for wanting to link huge_breasts and up, as we've done that with hair length going with very_long_hair implicating long_hair. The idea falls apart though because there is no massive amount of huge_breasts and up tags. There only exists huge_breasts and gigantic_breasts, and gigantic_breasts is such a minor populated tag that linking it with huge_breasts would provide no real gain over what is currently being done.

For the resolution tags, the argument you use seems to really put more force that you'd like to see a new tag set based on image dpi more than providing a legitimate reason to change the current system with the resolution tags.

The resolution tags right now don't really seem to offer much help to trying to refine a search. Unfortunately like many tags people don't apply them correctly. The idea I brought up was something I tried to correlate after doing some research on past discussions on breast sizes and all the arguing between adding small breasts as their own tag.

To organize my own image collection I've got my own local booru running on my server here at home. In general my goal is to use fewer, but more precise tags; where danbooru seems to suffer in certain areas of tag overkill creating tags for every single possible computation leaving sometimes 5-10 tags with only 5-10 entries each. My suggestions I mainly put forth as a concern to help improve efficieny; not make major overhauls of the existing tags.

I would be opposed to swapping out standard adjectives for more "colorful" language like "bomb".

I agree there is sometimes tag overkill around here, but you're liable to get stabbed in a dark alleyway by some users if you say that out loud. Regardless, I don't think the examples you bring up are among the problems.
