Pointless Pools

pool #9045 - powerful girls and broken cars

Any reason why this should exist?

If we don't have something covering it, perhaps retooling this pool around the idea of images of people destroying or defeating vehicles and machines barehanded or with melee weapons.

I like that. A more generalized pool that tags can't cover alone.

pool #5080 Looks like a favourites pool with some recurring characters.

I don't see the common theme for this pool. If this was depicting all of the images of an artist's original series where the tag search {artist_name original} produced too many misses, that'd be one thing and the grouping would have merit. It would still need a description though to explain the pool and also validate the need for grouping them into a pool like this.

I wonder, can pools containing nothing but banned posts be qualified as pointless pools since the artist sent cease and desist requests to albert and his moderator team?

If it's so, then pool #9982 can be considered for deletion and turn into a tag or unpooled posts as shin'en has prohibited "reprinting" of his artworks right from the start.

Seems useful for those with a height interest ( not me ); I doubt I would think of the wording of that tag ever, which is why pools are superior.

Plus uploaders might well add an image to a pool, but not think to use a particular --- very obscure --- tag.
