Pointless Pools

pool #1246 - "Nice Knowing You". Probably more appropiate as a tag than a pool. The pool itself is huge. Should also possibly be merged with you_gonna_get_raped as the two seem to be drifting towards covering the same general thing.

There's already significant overlap and it's not obvious to me which posts should go where. Probably because they're both the same thing.

Not really. I think "Nice Knowing You" is an un-taggable concept. The pool contains many jokes which require meta-knowledge on the series and characters to understand, e.g how can you tag you_gonna_get_raped for post #534162 when there's no visible anger/incoming punishment of Eirin? When put in said pool, on the other hand, it makes sense.

pool #2201 - "Say ahhhh". I don't see why it needs to be a pool when a tag is more than applicable. Something like pov_feeding would work.

I agree this pool should be a tag, "pov" + "feeding" search would have been enough but there's no way to make a distinction whether the viewer feeds the character or the other way around. So yeah, the pov_feeding is reasonable.

That rather casts doubt on whether it's useful information at all, IMO. I can see people browsing the clever pool and the likes, but is this honestly something people ever want to search for? It looks more like a comment.

pool #27 only 1 image
pool #78 only 1 image
pool #228 1 image
pool #419 just an old verion of CANNOT UNSEE
pool #746 1 image
pool #745 1 image
pool #97 a pool of pictures with grey panties
pool #9 seems to be empty
pool #1389 should go in the unexcpectedly evil pool
pool #1188 empty
pool #1460 early badass pool?
pool #1223 1 image
pool #390 appears to be empty could be wrong.
post #647154 empty

These all have loli/shota posts which you can't see at your account level.

And these (that last one is pool #1573) are full of deleted posts, and convention is not to delete such pools.

That leaves these for the chopping block:

Is it really necessary to have a pov_feeding tag with pov and feeding already? Unless we want do disambiguate from opposite situations (post #9744, pov_fed?), that is.

Most pov posts have some kind of reference point (i.e. hands, feet, glasses, chest, dick, etc.) to show that you're looking through the eyes of a character rather than being an outside viewer. Tags like pov_feeding and pov_feet have a quasi-pov view; there's no reference point, but the angle of the picture and/or the behavior of the characters show that you're more than a mere viewer.

The pool has a theme - which is untaggable - so it should not get deleted for being "pointless". I myself don't go to that pool but other people might. Plus it's amusing sometimes when seeing "Nice Knowing You" at the beginning of a picture, heh.
