Pointless Pools

The same user has created four pools in total, one simply duplicating the content of the above. Both of those have been deleted, I see, but I suspect the other two others (pool #14874 and pool #14875) are similarly unnecessary by the site's standards.

Deleted those too, I would say someone should tell him about favgroups but he already has 3 so...

Just a question. Can pools with all its posts deleted be considered as pointless pools? I'm raising this question because all the posts in pool #14878 are deleted.

No. The posts still belong together, even if they’re deleted, and they might be undeleted at some point. Some users also like to browse deleted posts.

I guess if someone pools their MS Paint-level self uploads in a “look at ma art!!1” pool, it can be deleted along with the posts.

pool #3306 - Intricate Still Life Artwork

It only has 6 posts, and the posts that are in it don't seem to be any more "intricate" than most posts in the scenery tag.

pool #10135 - Simple Shading

Supposedly for pictures shaded in a way that doesn't try to appear photorealistic... which would be what, half the content of this site? Most flat color, anime coloring and high contrast posts would fall into this and then some.

pool #15216 - archirai

It's empty.

Also could anyone explain the difference between pool #5768 (Telling Tanlines) and pool #11746 (Unfortunate Tanlines) and why we should keep them separate?

Thank you.
