There's no convincing them anyway but there's not much to lose in the process. Should I make a bigger list of tags to filter or will that put too much load on the server?
Safebooru's tag filter doesn't affect database performance. The database still returns those posts, but they're not shown in the html page leaving blank spots in the results. Unlike Safebooru's rating:s filter, where the database doesn't return non-safe posts.
Oops... Looks like I managed to miss a whole bunch of replies.

As the instigator of the change linked, I can tell you why it was proposed and implemented: it's because "worksafe" is a thoroughly meaningless label.
Asking people to read the entire topic before even trying to post is starting to get tiresome...
See forum #108052 for clarification.
The author has a very firm grasp of syntax, thank you very much
The pleasure is all mine. In case you didn't notice, I said "I wonder if that was intentional".
Not doing great on the reading comprehension there.
Shhh... No tears, only dreams now.
no rating system is ever going to be bulletproof
My, my... The goal is not to make it "bulletproof", but merely improve it.
Danbooru has always been about categorising and curating a specific database of content, content that is very likely to include porn, and not anything else.
Roughly 75%, or 1.5M images currently in the DB are rating:s
So, which one is it? Because these two propositions are mutually exclusive.
Now, about the 4th rating -- it was already mentioned in the original thread that people do really badly when confronted with more than 3 choices, but if you truly want to implement something like that, I'd strongly suggest doing it essentially separately from the 3 ratings and as a "supersafe" whitelist on top of current rating:s. Hell, you could implement it with a tag and call it safebooru_ready or something.
I wouldn't mind such a solution, personally. But something tells me that a lot of people aren't going to be happy with it.

Actually, I think several people, myself included, already stated that they wouldn't mind that solution. So long as it only describes sexuality of content and isn't trying to create a list of which tags are "offensive" or something, it should be implementable without too much arguing about what goes in it - well, as long as there are people willing to tag hundreds of thousands of old posts with it. That being said, I myself (and probably other people) feel that I would absolutely never actually use that tag in a search, but seeing as it doesn't upset the current rating system and requires hardly any effort on my side, I'm willing to accept it.
PS: I just checked. Rather than several people it's just 2: me and buehbueh. Still, I don't see anyone specifically opposing that. Rather, since it was introduced in the middle of the thread, there aren't too many opinions on it. Perhaps it needs a new thread with carefully worded opening post specifically proposing the tag.
