This is a little rant I have about Ponibooru. Please forgive any english mistakes I have made. English is my second language afterall.
Feel free to comment about any issues I'm pointing out in the comic.

I agree with Twilight's pre-/post-fluttershy point. If we got Bronibooru for that stuff... why not loosen up the rules on this one?

I think this has a lot of good points. We love this show for many reasons and being cute is one of them. I don't even bother looking at the scribbling I see. Ugh. Some pics are just plain ugly. Let's keep it cute. Keep it pony!

Ugly is very subjective. I find seniorpony's comics funny, light and artistic, despite what other people see.

The Internet is for porn, but can't we ask for a little space on the Internet not violated by porn/gore?

If I wanted porn/gore, I would have gone to 4chan or furaffinity.

There seems to be a mod around here (or maybe Eco) that has some personal issues with "Cupcakes" related art. Such content is perfectly valid, yet got deleted.

Thanks for your input. :)

Edef: there has been a lot said about what qualifies as "NSFW" under the current rules, particularly when you start talking about violent stuff rather than sexual. My personal interpretation, based in part on the discussions that have occurred on the topic, is that graphically presented organs (be they genital or internal) are "the line". I don't have a problem with Cupcakes specifically.

That said, progress on the tagfilter is proceeding, albeit slowly, and when it is finally implemented I intend to alter the rules somewhat, in the direction of fimchan-like leniency. People who want this to be a safe haven from Topic X will then be able to filter out the relevant tags, and thereby achieve that safe haven.

If anyone has problems with this approach, just let me know and I'll see what I can do to alter it.

I'm glad I made some good points that a great deal of you agree on.
Let's hope some future changes for the best will come soon!
Let's not forget that the pony fandom contain the cute, the good, the bad, and even the ugly.

Wouldn't it be better to make the filter so you have to actively make it so you can see guro and hardcore stuff rather than having to get rid of it?

While I do agree with the thoughts we don't need gore or porn, though I'm fine with it being tagged as they are nowadays, I have to disagree with Fluttershy as its usually the non furries who are posting the non anthro pony porn or questionables. Which is... quite a lot. :T

Rules: Read 'em.

#1: No NSFW material. Unless you want to argue that porn and gore are safe-for-work, then regardless of how you tag 'em, they don't belong on the site.

not to be unfair, because I don't have strong feelings really either way, but you could always, you know, go ELSEWHERE to get your gore and your rule 34. If they make their way onto Ponibooru they exist elsewhere on the webz. they don't have to be HERE just because they exist.

I could point out the fallacy of assuming that because questionable and explicit tags exist everything should be allowed to be posted, but I think the fallacy is obvious so I won't.

as far as youtube screencaps and minimal quality for artworks, that deserves discussion.

^ ^ it doesn't have to have a point. it's a function on the board. on a practical level, they hide things that not everyone wants to see. to extend from their existance an assumption that Rainbow Dash disected on a table SHOULD be allowable on the board is a straight out fallacy; the rules are set by Eco and the mods enforce them.
Eco

Explicit still has some uses anyway:
1) Mods aren't on 24/7, it's useful for users to be able to mark nsfw stuff explicit until someone with delete perms shows up.
2) If you have something that is debatably nsfw, but not unambiguously nsfw (non-binding example: the "artistic boobs" thing from a while ago), it might be worth giving an explicit rating even if it doesn't qualify for deletion.
3) Jokes. Like those live-action musical GIFs, or "just kidding I posted Pinkie Pie" or similar.
Eco

Also: the rules were based on what people seemed to expect from the board way back at the beginning (when, incidentally, there was no rating system; the thumbnail spoilers were something I added later). This is part of why I intend to dial back the rules as soon as the technical safeguards are fully in place. :)

Nice. That mean someponies are hard at work!
beside, you deserves to get fired if you are looking at ponies instead of working. All non-work related websites ARE NSFW.
(Yeah, I know, it just that I find the particular SFW and NSFW terms hillarious in themselves.)

Now that the SFW/NSFW debate is closed, let's argue about the other (very subjective) point I made via this comic;
Spamming plain screenshots and very extremely poor "art".

There's a good number of people around here who find youtube caption screenshots amusing. Those who don't ought to be able to filter them.

As for quality control: I completely agree with the suggestions you've made as far as what people can do to ensure that their stuff is good quality, and to refrain from selfposting unless they're confident in their work. But I am leery of policing for quality, because I imagine it to be a slippery slope. It is easy for me to say, "X is good quality, Y is not". But my judgment on the matter almost certainly does not match that of any other human being, especially in edge cases. And it's very easy for arbitrary quality standards to become a mental fig leaf, where mods, without realizing it, will delete low-quality works that they don't like at a greater frequency than low-quality works that they do like (because they perceive higher quality in works that fit their interests). This has led to an unofficial credo of "I don't police for quality", which means that you get the occasional 8-year-old-level fridge drawing. It happens, but it doesn't happen that often. If it becomes an epidemic in the future, I'm fully open to changing this policy.

Everypony must agree to one point of view and stick to it. The whole point of freedom is that you're free to do whatever you want, as long as you do it the same way. Anarchy has no place in Bronyville.

if you can filter out based on score, theoretically you would filter out low quality images IF users vote them down far enough.

just a thought.

But a furry-in-diaper can be drawn with extreme details and care, but voted ->9000 just because of the controversy.

I saw some great art over here, but wasted because they where thoughlessly drawn on fucking LINED paper and/or where scanned poorly.

But all of these points would be insta-fixed once a proper tag-filtering system will be in place... with the careful and constant tagging that will go with it by the users!

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, since most of this is tl;dr for me. But just in case it hasn't, I know there are a few sites where you can filter out certain tags by adding a - before the tag, i.e. -meme_war or -youtube_caption would filter out all those tagged meme_war or youtube_caption. Perhaps ponibooru can implement something like that, if possible?
