Pointless Pools

pool #5753 - Shiny textured school swimsuits
Shiny school swimsuit, with a special attention paid to the texture of the fabric.

covered by shiny school_swimsuit. good enough even for basic members. there are only 10 pages and finding such posts wouldn't be hard.

pool #5854 - Final Boss

Feels like it's the same as and/or picking out solo images of Rogues' Gallery.

and the only image in it is totally unfitting...

Is this still being maintained? There doesn't seem to have been a check in a while.

I kinda de facto handed it over to Log, I know he posted a few weeks ago so he might still be checking it.

I kinda gave up after the stupid changes Albert made to how pools work and refused to fix it, only admins can delete pools now. I'm not sure what active does now and that's the only checkbox I've got anymore.

pool #5901 - Magnificent Villains, Bastards and Awesome Trolls

Unfocused nonsense which would better fit in one of the already existing pools such as
God damn it, [X],
Rogues' Gallery,
Told you not to do that

It might be just me, but it seems this is the case for a lot of pools people create these days.

In any case, the pool system needs an overhaul badly.

A "pool queue" maybe?

pool #5929: Sitting with viewer

Character that are sitting with the viewer at a table.

It's like people don't remember that even danbooru has tags sometimes. I'll admit, pov_feeding is the closest we currently have to what anon153 wanted, but is it really that hard to come up with a tag like pov_date/dinner/playing_games?

I think that pool qualifies under the untaggable theme criteria of howto:pools, because we currently do not have a way of tagging the viewer's position. We could create the viewer_sitting and viewer_underneath tags if we want to go that route.

As for above ideas:

• pov_date won't work because that is highly speculative. With this tag, we would have to determine the context (party, date, business meeting). And this choice of tags would lump situations other than sitting at a table, such as holding hands and watching movies.
• pov_dinner excludes lunch and desserts.
• pov_playing_table_games would include table_tennis and other standing table games, and would be too wordy for a tag. pov_playing_games is even less specific.

If you have other suggestions, I'll be glad to hear them.

pov_across_table

pool #5706 - Rage Fuel

Already adequately covered by several other pools, and we don't need to be encouraging this kind of behavior anyway.

More inane stuff by the same user:

Diagram tag search.

You get the whole of the sex tag. The pool and faceless tag are only a small part of the images.

I'd like to bring this into consideration for removal again
