+1 to basically all of this
I do kinda like the idea behind the hfh tag tho, even if it does somewhat fail in execution
@ZizzyDizzyMC
I was under the impression that the goal of Ponybooru was to serve as a direct replacement for Derpibooru, and not to try and compete with the other dedicated Archive-Boorus of which there are no less then three.
meanwhile the only other competitor to Derpi is Manebooru and well…yeah, I’m sure I dont need to point out why that’s a problem
From the site’s
FAQ section
>What is Ponybooru?
Ponybooru aims to be a straight Derpibooru replacement, but with no content banned for political or personal agendas. If its legal in the US and pony related, we’ll host it! In other words: DNPs are respected, but outside of that, almost anything that’s pony and legal can be uploaded…
Rule 1: Edit protection and exceptions to DNP for those that are purging content outright would be nice, but we already know you’re not going to even pretend to be an archive like Derpi tried, so w/e. At least you aren’t pretending.
We are, as it stands, not an archive, but I understand your frustration.
Is this not the case anymore? and if so what exactly is the goal of Ponybooru? and why has it suddenly changed?
The change to the DNP policy directly undermines your stated goal, and also fails as a compromise,
“Post your art in 30 days or else…” is not a compromise, as people rightfully pointed out to you the last time you did this, back when the site first launched, and it’s not exactly filling me with confidence to see you repeat the same mistakes you made back then
Also: minor side note, I thought the dnp info was getting moved to it’s own dedicated page
@Sapphie
We’re kinda done pandering to the “THIS SITE RAYCIST, MY ART CAN’T BE POSTED THERE” crowd. DNPs are meant as something for artists that actively use the site.
Unless I misread something, the new dnp rules do not in any way differentiate between artists who do or do not use the site,
so to that end you are also effectively screwing over the artists who actively use the site by taking away the tools to manage their art/tags
