So you want this site to turn into 4chan?

No, I want the flag system to stop being so easily abusable and the approval system to stop being so biased in the approvers personal taste.

That's literally the point of the approval system. It's impossible for a human moderation system to be unbiased, and the flag system exists as it does so approvers aren't the sole authority on what the site keeps. Appeals also exist for the same reasons. Have you ever actually looked through status:deleted? Even if you believe a lot of things in there deserve to be approved (that's exactly what appeals are for), the vast majority of it is DA level garbage. Why would you want all of that to be uploaded to the site unfiltered?

As a moderator of Gelbooru, I wholeheartedly agree. I absolutely do not want to see an influx of self-righteous Danbooru users with a superiority complex flooding to our website because evazion decided to be "funny". Honestly, I don't even get the joke. Trying to copy us just to steal our userbase? Yeah, real funny. We'll see who's laughing in ten years. This move really shows the mindset of the average Danbooru contributor - only existing to steal the spotlight off of artists and other boorus while thumbing their noses up at everyone else. I haven't seen a group this bad since I visited 4chan that one time; I'm honestly surprised you lot aren't saying "kys" or calling me a faggot too. I suppose that part comes with time, but I don't think I'll be spending much more time here at all.

I've tried to be nice on the forums here, but this really is the last straw. You can say goodbye to any collaborations we might have had in store now, and remember it's all YOUR fault. We are NOT to blame for this. Next time you swing at us, just remember how many more users we have. We will dominate you in every possible way and it won't even be close to a struggle. You have been warned.

you almost got me

Finally I was able to discover the posts with the highest abundance of common tags on them - post #4681287 and post #3390386 both have 15 of the 16 most common tags on danbooru, missing only the multiple girls tag, which directly contradicts 1girl and solo so is missing for obvious reasons. I think post #4681287 wins overall as it has 18 of the top 20, whereas post #3390386 has only 17.

As an aside, it's depressing just how many images were NOT killed off by adding short hair to the 1girl solo long_hair tag search combination... solo short_hair long_hair has 7578 posts. Yuck.

FYI, in case you didn't realize, builders+ already didn't have a tag search limit since Christmas 2020.

It's no secret that the most disliked things about Danbooru are the moderation system, and all the annoying site rules and restrictions. So after careful consideration, and listening to feedback from users, I've decided to make a few important changes.

Here are the changes:

  • No more tag search limits. Now, everyone can search for an unlimited number of tags at once.
  • No more moderation. The biggest complaint about Danbooru has always been about the moderation system. Too many good posts go deleted by the mods. This changes today. Now, all new posts are approved by default, and all old posts have been undeleted. No more having good posts unfairly deleted by biased mods who can't appreciate good art.
  • No more upload limits. Now everyone is free to upload as much as they want. No more being unable to upload because the mods won't approve your posts.
  • No more downvotes. People often complain about their comments or uploads being unfairly downvoted. Some uploaders have requested that we hide or remove downvotes altogether, so their uploads won't be unfairly downvoted. Taking their advice to heart, and following the lead of other sites like Facebook and Youtube, downvoting has been removed. All previous downvotes and negative scores have been purged. Comments will no longer be hidden either just because they were unfairly downvoted by other users.
  • Anonymous comments. You no longer need an account to leave comments. Danbooru actually started out as an anonymous imageboard. But over time, site culture became more serious, and anonymous commenting was removed. I think that was a mistake; anonymous commenting gives everyone the ability to speak their mind freely, without being unfairly censored.

I know that these changes will take some getting used to, but I think this is for the good of the site. These changes are all based on popular demand by users. I hope that everyone is pleased with the direction the site is taking.

THX!!!!
