Deletion request thread

Posted under General

This might be off-topic, but since this is the "Deletion request thread" I think I can ask and then get kicked with an answer. Is there a way to delete an artist tag or a forum post where I can ask to delete an artist tag. I created one by mistake, and I want it deleted because is not going to be used. Sorry for spamming.

What do you mean by "delete an artist tag"? Just remove it from the post you added it to.

Or do you mean you want its category to be changed from artist to general? You can type general:tag_goes_here in the post's tags to do that.

I created two artist tags for the same artist: akatan_metal & 赤単メタル, both are the same name, but I prefer the romaji, for obvious reasons. In the info of akatan_metal I placed in "other names" the kanji name, and if you click the name it will sent you to a profile with no posts.

Don't worry, you didn't create two artist tags. What you did is creating an artist entry - an entry is different from a tag. Every name in "other names" field being turned into a link is intentional.

To actually create an artist tag, you must add that tag in a post and add artist: (or art:) prefix to it. For example, artist:akatan_metal (or art:akatan_metal). The prefix will mark the new tag as artist. You don't have to add this prefix anymore when using this tag later on, because the system already remembers akatan_metal's tag type.

By the way, posts by that artist has already been tagged as yorudo_kaoru by another user sometime ago. They just never bothered to create the artist entry, that's why you couldn't find it. You may want to read howto:artist, especially the URLs section (last section). Don't remove image URLs from arist entries when you make them, the system needs those for the find artist button to work.

Urgh, look, you're new here. Lurk and learn a bit more before questioning everything about the site, please. If such a recently uploaded image really is that mediocre, someone will find it an return it to the mod queue for review. This thread is for unquestionable no-nos and old posts that have fallen under the radar.

I'd like a quality check on post #73161. I recently flagged five or six images, all uploaded 5+ years ago, and this particular post survived. Not only does the uploader of this post have 2 negative records for uploading bad posts, the approver also has 3 such negative records for approving bad posts.
