Fun's over. The site's back to normal.

I am curious to know what kind of changes people actually would like to see done to the site.

PS: I'll leave unlimited searches active for the next week or so. I don't think everyone realized the tag limit really was gone for a time.

And now we are back to "anybody can flag for dumb reasons" and approvers only approve based on their own taste or else why that "x did not LIKE it enough to approve it"? That is is the definition of "biased by my personal opinion".

Anyone can flag for dumb reasons, but if they're really invalid, they're unflagged, you know that, right?

Yes, approvers are supposed to approve what they like, it's no secret.

I will never take moderation for granted again.

Wait did you really think that it was real? Everything uploaded and whatnot were still put into the queue, it was just hidden.

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

For some reason I wasn't getting time outs yesterday, though, which I had in the past when trying to search through that combination.

Then again I don't seem to be getting them now either. So maybe it did have nothing to do with this after all.

I feel you… I died a little inside after I decided to clean out solo solo_focus and solo multiple_views and saw how many results those searches had…

Yeah, at least there are a couple of legit cases of the one I posted (post #3187219 for instance)

Some temporary I really like during this are a lot tho Free Unlimited Tag (which most likely will be keep as special thing and gold member perk), and seeing Score and about to Upvote Downvote from Search page, This one I really love.

I'm quite happy with it as-is, but as a feature request, I'd love to see the API expanded to include a notification system of sorts to subscribe to certain tags - would mean i can stop polling the API as often as I do to get myself mobile notifications for certain uploads. (If anyone is interested in how I do this or if the team wants me to help with kmplementing such a thing for the website directly, let me know!)

Nah, keep it for good. Easier to filter, the better.
Along with upload limit.

As much as I wish that were possible, it wouldn’t bode well for the site. From what I can see, the main way the site has for gaining money is through people buying ranks for the site in order to gain access to more tags on their searches, and well, those sales would naturally plummet. Perhaps it may be increased to 3 though...

Upvote buttons under thumbnails were nice. Easy enough to press even on mobile.

Obviously I'm gonna say "gib unlimited uploads" but it would be nice if April 1. uploads did NOT count towards your upload limit/calculation.
I went a little ham but I still said "no" to myself with 3x that number of images from artists I follow.

Would be nice if exclusion tags (e.g. "-loli") wouldn't count against the tag limit... since those uploads are filtered by default on the results pages, but not when scrolling through the results with a and d.

I think the limit free upload day wasn't that bad for some people and could be done sometimes again. They will upload all the stuff they have saved anyway, so it's not really a problem if they upload it now or then. They will still be punished for poor uploads. On the other side, it's sadly kinda easy to abuse such a limit free upload day.

As an approver, are you sure you want the sudden spike in approver work? Or the additional complaints from uploaders about not enough approvers looking at their uploads because too many approvers decided to skip what could quickly turn into “trash day”?

I might be alone in this, but I'd like to see tools for translating similar artist commentaries and adding the tags, like a commentary/tag script in the Artist Commentaries page.

Rise, rise to become an approver yourself and change this.
