pool #2873 - To LOVE-Ru Darkness - Repainted Series

With the pro-tier colored artist identified as yamaiwa_shuuhai (ex. post #845521), the pool is now redundant with to_love-ru_darkness colored.

You forgot that I was responding to Kikimaru's post, where he suggested using toned to replace the Muscle Girls pool. Learn to contextualize.

You misunderstood me; I meant that we have both toned & muscle tags for definition.
I do not advocate replacing "Muscle Girls" with a "toned" search, rather with a "muscle_girl" search.

Then you should plug into the search engine: Houraisan Kaguya, Fujiwara no Mokou, and -yuri. Negative tags still count as tags.

That pool was proposed in topic #5593 "Pool name ideas- Theme: Touhou Kaguya & Mokuo beeting the **** outta each other!".
And we decided AGAINST such a pool. We've already made the decision, so delete it.

And while we're at it: pool #3882 - Flexible Yoshika should also be pitched: It can be covered by a search for the Miyako Yoshika and -zombie pose tags.

I agree and have proposed this before.

I am sorry if this has already been discussed, but as I see it, all these tagable pools are created because a two-tag search is not enough. Can't we really allow basic members to search for at least three tags? Or restrict collective pool creation to premium+?

False positives: post #909612; post #904095. Possibly also post #386641

-1 to deletion.

You have a point there, but then we might as well create style parody pools for almost every style out there, like a pool dedicated to Pokemon art style. Why create a pool dedicated to one particular art style and not every single art style out there?

Another solution is to make it into a tag instead, like what happened with ZUN and alphes's art styles.
