I wanna go to Equestria
I want to abolish this tag becasue I don’t like it
Okay yeah sure just strawman me. So fucking done with y’all. Never suggesting anything again. No point.
I mean, I’m sorry, but, you were already mad to begin with, anything I said or assumed would have probably lead to the same result.

Sound logic
is not I want to abolish this tag becasue I don't like it
. People would rage at us if we did that.Your other thread went from “grumpy” to “flaming” real quick, too.
fluttershy, solo
I propose “solo focus” and the tagging practice surrounding it is utterly stupid and useless and should be abolished, to be replaced with simply “solo” and the name of the pony who is the focus, without tagging the barely-visible ponies at all. To quote my own comment:
Seriously, actually think for one second about what it would be like searching for those terms and tell me it would ever be of any use. Hell you can try it yourself: searching forsunny starscout, solo focus
returns so many pics that are NOT focused on Sunny, andzipp storm, solo focus
will still return this pic because there is no possible way to indicate WHO is the solo focus. But if you tagged it the way I wanted to, it would actually fucking show up when someone searchessunny starscout, solo
and NOTzipp storm, solo
which is actually useful.

Unfortunately, this would fail (without further work to create an exception list) because some characters get multiple character-categorized tags applied in tandem: for example, golden harvest/carrot top, or sci-twi/twilight sparkle
It also fails in the case when other characters are depicted but not present - for example, a picture of Twilight Sparkle with a photo of the mane six displayed on the wall could get all of the character tags, but be a “solo” picture because only Twi is actually there.
Plus OC tags or nameless characters or random depictions of animals that are not named.
The site already sorts character tags into their own category, so simply implement a check that if someone tries to upload something with two or more character tags and the “solo” tag, return an error.
pinkie pie, -ts, -fs, -ry, -rd, -aj, -sg, -tia, -luna, -etc etc etc
If you do not specify a field to search over, the search engine will search for posts with a body that is similar to the query's word stems. For example, posts containing the words winged humanization
, wings
, and spread wings
would all be found by a search for wing
, but sewing
would not be.
