"absurdres" at the dimensions it specifies would more suitably be "veryhighres"
a proper 4k tag might be useful (for those with limited search terms).
"incredibly absurdres" would more appropriately be "printing res". it's only "absurd" if it's useless, but resolutions that high are actually needed for good printing.
...and it'd be nice to see low quality large images (scanner noise, blurry etc unprocessed scans) tagged as such so they can be excluded from searches!

There was a discussion about this about a year ago in topic #12931 but nothing happened from it.

Our practice has long been to minimize the use of tags that merely duplicate a combination tag search. Creating tags like this provides Member-level users a disincentive to contribute or upgrade their accounts. Anyone who wants to search for 4k images already has the option of searching height:2160 width:3840.

Do you have something more specific in mind than the existing scan artifacts tag?

That thread brings valid points. "3200x2400" is not absurd anymore, a lot of artists release at even higher resolutions nowadays. We have 185k pictures under it, about 6% of all pictures, a small amount but not exactly rare. And the number goes to 11% if we only consider pictures posted in the last year.
Maybe changing its name to something like "very high resolution" as the OP says and changing incredibly_absurdres to something else would be enough.
Some figures:
In the 100000 posts with an id from 2750000 to 2850108 (permanent deletions accounting for why this isn't 100000 id numbers):
635 are lowres
whereas
51939(!) are highres
11986 are absurdres
21 are incredibly absurdres
This is in part because higher resolution images are more likely to be uploaded but still...

Should the resolution tags be reprogrammed, will the server be able to function well while it removes the tags from all the posts that have them and reapply them to every post one by one according to the new code?
Would it need to do that? Could it not just remove it/them from every post that the tag(s) is/are currently used on which don't meet the new requirements?
