"Curated" pool

This was sort of dropped and some people said some stuff but never really did anything.

The Danbooru forum in a nutshell... :)

So, I vote to purge this pool. Ideas?

It is an interesting concept as a pool, so my vote would be to keep it.

It is an interesting concept, but with the Popular page it seems kind of redundant

I wouldn’t miss this pool, but it’s still being updated daily. Deleting it might make DanbooruBot sad.

All it wanted to do was pool things it thought people liked </3 Just like so many other newbie users here </3

On my real thoughts, I find the "Curated" Pool amusing if only because it lets us see what the supervoters generally like. Again, in line with Albert's taste.

It's dead? I saw it leaving the usual comments on replaced posts just a few hours ago. What happened?

Btw that's one too many "in peace" :)

Nothing's happened with it. The consensus seems to be that currently it's not especially useful, but this is albert's experiment so it's up to him what to do with it. I gather that he has more plans for it.

It certainly does no harm, and has the potential to do good.

The current pool description combined with the massive overrepresentation of porn and swimsuit shots does irk me a bit, though I'm not sure whether others would feel the same.

That's what most voters are inclined to voting up anyway. It's the main reason why people go to Danbooru anyway. Comics and silly fanart comes second.

Well, yes, that's why I dislike it. "High quality posts picked out by curators" shouldn't be synonymous with "every half-decent post that appeals to the lowest common denominator".

I'm a Chibi man myself.

If the Curated pool is only serving a similar function to the Popular page, why keep it? Why even bother with Super Voters at all?

I'm not asking these out of some aversion to sexual content being popular (and there's nothing wrong with sexual content), but since that's generally going to be the case, I'm still not seeing the use of Super Voters or the Curated pool.
