You are evil.
Doesn't that sum up most Japanese April Fool's announcements?

The 4chan meme humor with Pepe's, Wojacks and fairly chanesque terminology as substitutes for tags in general is certainly a choice that's sure to appeal to some at least. More than an "April Fools Joke" it's kind of another unwelcome reminder of just how much the whole anime weeb community has been converting into 4chan over the years and this assumption that everyone shares the same sense of humor. To each their own I suppose.....

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.
Arpil Fools Got me

Terrible feeling this is a joke, but if I had to pick one to be real, I'd get rid of downvoting. It's baffling why anyone would downvote a benign comment. It's sad that anyone would downvote constructive criticism.
Constructive criticism is pretty useless here, the artists will never see it, and most users aren't interested in seeing it. I'm not saying criticism should be downvoted, but if it's genuinely constructive, and it rarely is, the source is a better place for it than here.

It's so irritatingly cringy.
And will very likely scare away fresh 1st time visitors to this website right now.

THIS. Along with allowing multiple tags & unlimited uploads.

Phew, I'm glad this was a joke, these changes would have really brought down the quality of the site.
