Pointless Pools

Posted under General

I had wanted to archive posts that involve unusually colored hair, the same way we have the Uncommonly Styled Legwear pool. If you folks find it pointless though, I won’t mind it being nuked. I had tried asking in the other thread but got no response, and I didn’t know where else to ask.

A new topic would generally be the best place to workshop something like that rather than a quick Q&A megathread where things will get buried fast. I can understand the drive but given you're a builder this is probably something you could do with a favgroup instead since there's a huge push to move collection pools to tags right now and also eliminating things that don't fit as either. I fully expect that uncommonly styled legwear is going to be on the chopping block eventually as well if no one is actually searching for it and it doesn't need to be categorised.

Are those official edits to make them animated, or third-party ones?

most of the posts in the pool are ancient and the description doesn't have much to say either so this is just speculation: some of them are tagged third-party edit, and most of them either have no source or are sourced from imageboards, so i'm leaning towards it being a pool for third-party edits.

pool #22735

This pool remains deleted after Ourobouro (weirdly) hijacked it and then had its information reverted by Damian. Do we have a query (not necessarily just a single tag) that can replace this so the pool's posts can be cleared?

Checking the ones in question, with the exception of one of the deleted ones, all the others have the tag because they are decensored.

there's always furry_with_non-furry rating:g, but that's only for romantic or sexual interactions. no tag or tag combination that i know of allows finding a furry and a human simply appearing together in the same scene, which is what i assume this pool was made to cover.

BUR #49365 has been rejected.

nuke pool:27179

Just going to go for a straight nuke, I don't think this needs anything special to accompany historical connection. The comments section can be used for interesting factoids like this or not at all. However, I don't think this is the right use of historical connection to begin with at least if I'm understanding the wiki properly, this sounds something more like real_life_connection/reference or something else.

Meh because this might be a genuinely taggable and interesting concept but I don't have any names to workshop. A BUR should at least get eyes and discussion on this a bit more instead of letting it die after a single reply.
