Exactly, which is why it's a pointless idea in the first place because that means the same reasonable conclusion can already be achieved through the normal individual-post perspective. That's the point my second paragraph was trying to get across, it was not advocating for your suggestion but arguing that at best, it does nothing.
The other users that might change the tags would do so regardless of the number of posts they've looked at, for the same point i made before about the fact that what's considered borderline isn't either agreed upon by different users
Again, I am not suggesting a change to the status quo. I'm not suggesting any change in policy. You said you didn't think there's be any exceptions to "tag what you see" for loli, so I provided a very limited situation in which other factors might be considered.
The pool was the best example I could think of, but I'll admit it's not a very good one. A better one would be showing someone who obviously looks like an adult who may be out-of-focus and off-model to the point of looking borderline in one post within the same line of events. I think both of us would agree that tagging loli in that case would be ridiculous, but that means we're using clues from the posts before and after to influence our decision. But seeing as how I don't have such an example on hand, it's probably not a huge concern and maybe not worth talking about anyway. Such mistags, while annoying, are still preferable to untagged loli/shota, and are far too rare to worry about anyway.
Ultimately, I agree with sticking to "tag what you see," and part of that is because the strategy I described is something we'll all probably doing subconsciously anyway. We can't completely remove the influence of what we already saw without wiping our memories, but for most of us, our preconceptions and attempt to judge each post individually will balance each other and lead us to the right decision. So we should favor strict policies like this while understanding in the back of our minds that our compliance is going to be maybe 99% instead of 100%. I don't really like the phrase "use common sense," but that's really what I'm trying to advocate here.

How is it still visible/why do tags need changed if its banned?
It still shows up in search counts. Also, what if the artist decides to give us permission to show it, or releases a paid reward for free? It's better to remove those tags (specifically, child from loli/shota posts) before they might become unbanned.
