BUR #25737 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

mass update pool:3882 -> dezombification
nuke pool:3882

As above for voting. It will need to be cleaned up a bit.

As far as naming things go, I think a dezombification tag in general is a good idea, but it should not be used as a substitute for this pool. There could still be cases in which Yoshika can bend her arms normally while still showing other zombie-like traits. A name that would better fit the proposed tag would be something like unusually flexible arms or pliable arms, but I think tagging zombie pose when appropriate and filtering it out in searches (as suggested in forum #92608) is the best way to go, even if it means we're tagging the more common case rather than the exception.

pool #20887 (Characters and their own depictions)

This felt like it should be better off as its own tag, since 99% of posts in this pool are NSFW following the format of "character doing casual things while someone else is holding a sexual picture of them, or vice-versa".

It seems like a pool likely related to topic #26639 was made, pool #22382.

Given that I found it because it was on post #7404494, I'm not sure what to do with it.

It should just be nuked. It's a concept that should just be a tag if we're going to do anything about it, not a pool, and the pool only exists because the creator refuses to just accept when we're not going to do what they want and keeps trying to do things behind people's backs. Which is why they got demoted.

Looks like it was made for topic #26639, though it should've been a favgroup, but mistakes happen

They only created the pool after the thread stalled, and didn't bother to tell anybody they created it. They also gave it a description, which favgroups don't support, so it wasn't an accident. Wouldn't be the first time they tried to sidestep the forums.

I know. I meant more like, they possibly weren't aware of the favgroup approach. And creating it later could be down to them realizing the automated approach wasn't going to happen.
