Cleaning up "afterglow"

Posted under Tags

BUR #31588 has been rejected.

nuke afterglow
mass update favgroup:36050 -> afterglow

The "afterglow" tag is for characters being affectionate with each other after sex ala post #6539659, stuff like holding hands, eye contact, and cuddling, with a wiki that has mentioned this for over a decade, but it has been used like a generic "after orgasm" tag as well as any half naked cuddling. I cleaned up a bunch of obvious misstags like solo posts only to discover the tag genuinely has more post that doesn't fit rather than posts that do. The tag is currently a mess of characters just sharing a bed with no indication any sex has taken place (such as both being clothed) post #7371046, post #6779897, generic after sex/cum in pussy post #4141935 post #6153845, sex that isn't even over, and things that are not sex post #6065491, post #169450.

after_sex cuddling was genuinely a better way to search for this than the tag currently is.

I suggest a nuke and then cleaning it up.

I think you should make a list of what you want to delete instead.

First, because this BUR deletes everything in afterglow in the past month. Second, that the goal is to avoid false positives, so there should be an easy way to check what you want to delete.

Although people still can search for afterglow -favgroup:36050, I am not sure if they do that. Anyway, you should be able to create a list of what you want to delete (that is, put afterglow -favgroup:36050 in a new favgroup), with danbooru ex extension very easily.

.. most of afterglow's content doesn't match the tag description. I don't think that the tag can be turned into something useful, so you can just remove the mistagged images, without a BUR.
