I like tags
Here is list of tags that I think should have a descriptions but I’m nut sure what this description should be or even what some of the tags here are for, so I can’t write them myself:
 
winking vs vulvar winking vs one eye closed - differences between those  
partial nudity - is this just common tag for bottomless and toples? And what about wardrobe malfunction?  
shipping - currently no description, should this be the same as on Derpi?  
speech bubble vs dialogue vs talking  
eeveelution - this needs a description to clarify what this is  
bra - does parts of bikini covering breasts count as this?  
And whats the difference between lingerie, panties and underwear? All should have a description.  
watermark - what’s a difference between this and a signature? If the watermark is just the artist name but written in semi-transparent capital letters is it signature and watermark at the same time?
 
grin vs smiling vs happy - differences?
 
fluffy - what is this exactly, it’s implied only by fluffy tail
 
intersex - this is an important tag so it needs a description
 
Why there is a tag called love heart but also another one called heart?
 
teats vs nipples vs breasts vs udders - descriptions needed for all
 
There is also tack, and from the implications (bridle, harness, lead) I could guess that it is meant to be this:
 
full
 
full
 
but harness on a parachutist or somebody who climbs mountains is not really connected to riding horses, so tack should not be implied by harness.
 
By the way on e621 there is a tag called bondage gear but it’s not implied by anything. You can use all the things used for bondage in a “normal” way after all.
 
EDIT: Why does hotdogging implies intercrural sex?
 
Hotdogging description from Derpibooru is:  
When a male rubs his penis between another male or female’s butt cheeks without penetrating the anus.
(By the way, why this description even mentions gender? It should be “When a penis is rubbed between another character’s butt cheeks without penetrating the anus.” because it can be a herm, doesn’t have to be a male.)
 
intercrural sex definition from Wikipedia is:
 
Intercrural sex (from inter- and Latin crura, “legs”), also known as femoral/interfemoral sex, is a type of non-penetrative sex, where the penis is placed between the receiving partner’s thighs (often with lubrication) and thrusts to create friction.
 
Are butt cheeks and thighs the same thing? I don’t think so, so there should be no such implication.

I don’t see it as nessesary as I would assume a majority of fursuit stuff would not be that, and also thst it wouldn’t matter.
 
But maybe others agree and I’m crazy idk.

There’s less of a reason to make a distinction between media-originated characters and someone’s fursona here than at derpi, and the lines are a bit murkier here.
 
Can you explain why this is? I think there is a reasonable, meaningful distinction to be made between someone’s fursona, and say, judy hopps.

I was thinking aliens in general would be “not furry”, so asari, E.T., yautja, The Thing, would all be “not furry” to make things simpler, unless they were clearly mimicking something animal-like ala wookies and ewoks…

or the Xenomorph
 
Why xenomorph? It’s not a humanoid, it’s not a machine, it’s an alien biological monster, so this counts as furry as this is something like a fictional animal ;)

Because only staff can edit tag descriptions I was personally always placing the owner of the oc in brackets when tagging unless:  
  1. the name was composited of first and last name and they sounded original enough  
  2. in the cases where owner name was the same as character name.  
    I am also trying to always check if there is a reference sheet available and upload it as the first image tagged with the oc:name, as it is an alternative option to specify clearly who the character owner is - this information will be in the ref sheet image description.
     
    Also a good reason for using oc:name format is that everyone can do this and the tag will be in a different color, whereas the blue character tags must be set by staff and thus needs to be reported in a forum thread. This seems like a lot of work because there are tens of thousands (if not more) of furry original characters.
     
    I still think users should be able to change color of tags on their own like on e621 but as this not the case this is the only option to enable ordinary users to make the tag colorful (well, this and artist: and comic:).

It’s primarily meant for:
 
  • Non-furry images in furry settings/series, like a page of comic about Bowser and Peach with only Peach  
  • Non-furry anthropomorphic content, such as The Brave Little Toaster, Wall-E, or the Xenomorph  
  • Furry adjacent/derived content, such as humanizations of furry characters or Equestria Girls  
  • The odd case of a furry-centric artist not having a better place to showcase a non-furry image
     
     
    The tag will be monitored and added to several default filters, and I don’t envision that it’ll get much use outside of the above cases; uploading generic animu girls or cityscapes won’t be allowed. If for some reason it gets wildly out of hand or we accidentally tapped into a hidden VeggieTales fandom with tens of thousands of fanart pieces being uploaded then we’ll revisit that policy.

I’d prefer to axe oc and just use character. There’s less of a reason to make a distinction between media-originated characters and someone’s fursona here than at derpi, and the lines are a bit murkier here.
 
Also when it comes to first come first serve on names, I lean towards popularity. If one character has 50x the posts of another I’d rather just omit the (owner) part because most people are probably looking for that. If they’re similar enough just (owner) both of them. That’s what I’ve always done in the past and it’s worked pretty well to avoid conflicts.

Round 4, seems most earlier stuff was fixed:
 
Outlines of genitals visible through clothing (cameltoes, bulges, anus ‘cameltoes’)
Removing “detailed” here was probably good since cameltoes and “anus cameltoes” inherently are somewhat detailed, but now this means you’ve thrown in simple bulges with them, when they’re also in Safe.
 
About anuses, they should probably be mentioned here in Safe to help prevent confusion on where they go:  
Sheaths and balls, as long as they are…
  • Not detailed (e.g. covered in fur)
  • An anatomical detail that just happens to be visible on an otherwise safe themed picture
And correspondingly you might want to mention them here instead of in Questionable:
Visible detailed sheaths or balls
Note that this is from a kids cartoon (Cleopatra in Space), and that’s an anus (that is shown actively farting) at the end of the tail:  
full
 
I see this returned:
Characters in “saucy” poses with sexual implications (e.g. laying down on bed with bedroom eyes and lingerie)
Highly-subjective implications (are these “I miss you, my love” eyes, or “let’s fuck now” eyes? Is there even a difference?) are generally a problem in ratings. I recommend removing the reference to bedroom eyes, and focusing on the sexual nature of the outfit, so people don’t get the wrong impression and start going after stuff just like in kids cartoons where a modestly-clothed or featurelessly-naked animal characters pose and give a look from a bed. Note the following from screencaps on Derpi:

While we are definitely a furry-centric site, the idea was to be a bit loose with it to allow for the artists who occasionally draw other things. But there’s no hard and fast rules on it yet. I’m personally more in favor of less non-furry content (specializing rather than being a one-stop shop that’s not very good at either), but it’s one of those things we’re still working out the details on.
 
This isn’t any official statement on where the site is going but I personally believe it will end up more strict over time, just my guess anyways.

Out of curiosity, why is this being allowed here? The website’s name is Furbooru. I obviously cannot force you to disallow it, but consider that allowing it may be detrimental to the purpose of the website (to collect furry related content) because it would seem that it makes the intended target audience of the site feel less specifically catered to.

On Furbooru, essentially all character category tags are styled in the form of character (franchise). But oc category tags don’t follow this same system. In fact, 273 out of the 372 existing OC tags have no extra information other than the character name. This will undoubtedly lead to conflicts down the line.
 
After asking a staff member about this, and bringing up the possibility of conflicts, I was informed that the person who next encountered a name conflict could simply append a new (parenthesized designation) to the OC tag name. But this leads to problems, beyond the relative unfairness of the first-come first-serve nature of these tags…
 
For example, there are plenty of existing cases on Derpibooru where there are multiple OCs with the same name that inadvertently shared the same tag name, which leads to a problem because these entirely different OCs may then become indistinguishable for search or for filtering purposes. In addition, there was at least one case where a conflict resulted in an actual altercation between users.
 
Another problem that was raised was the problem of there being community ocs, or characters which have essentially lost their original ownership due to popularity, but are not canon to a particular source material - sort of like a generic trademark.
 
Upon asking about these cases, I was informed (rather unexpectedly) that these cases would be recast as the blue character category tags, even when these characters are not canon to a particular source material. This was because I had an implicit expectation that the blue tags were generally reserved for officially licensed/trademarked characters, and that the OC tags were primarily fan creations.
 
So if this is intended to actually be the case, and not just something that was poorly communicated to me in private, is there any meaningful distinction between the character category and the oc category? If there isn’t, could you please explain your rationale?

In the hemipenis detailed description I added an unnecessary word, it should be:
 
detailed: when a character has two penises that have separate bases use diphallism
 
without the “but” between “penises” and “that”.  
––  
Also you didn’t alias face down ass up to face down butt up but the other way around, but all the other tags use “butt” instead of “ass” and as this tag applies to many safe images so I don’t think “ass” is a better world than “butt” ;)

Round 3. The current ratings guidelines look pretty good (even fixing a lot of problems Derpi’s have). Two things in Questionable are very odd, however:  
Complete nudity without visible sexual arousal
It seems very strange to me that there’s a catchall like this for top+bottom without caring about features in Questionable, when top or bottom with non-detailed features is only Suggestive. Basically, on Derpi, Austin Powers joke nudity (random objects in the way of seeing the “naughty bits”) is only Suggestive because when you block the features, it really takes away almost all of the problem, and even some kids stuff can get away with that. This is TV-PG by the way:  
full
 
Naked (and semi-naked) characters presented in sexy poses
The “naked” part seems redundant with the above bit, but assuming the above bit was removed, the problem then is really that it feels to me like nude features are worse than a lack of them combined with a sexy pose.  
As for “semi-naked”, I’m not sure whether it means Suggestive’s partial nudity or just something scantily clad. If scantily clad, then it’s basically the same issue as with naked. If instead it means partial nudity, then the problem is that again because it doesn’t care about features, this would mean a character wiggling their butt at the camera with no features visible would be Questionable all the way in Questionable, next to detailed genitals.  
Consider how it applies to this:

Fun is mandatory
Functionally, it looks like furbooru’s Suggestive and Questionable tags map to other sites’ Questionable and Explicit ratings, respectively - which makes the line which distinguishes things be between full-frontal nudity and outright sex, rather than on Derpibooru where the division was between Suggestive and Questionable.
 
The S/Q division was much harder to define (like, how “kinda lewd” is too “kinda lewd?”) but it made sense because, being about a kid’s show, there needed to be a level above “not safe for Woona” but below the typical questionable rating. That wouldn’t make much sense here. The distinction between softcore and hardcore is welcome, even though I know it’ll mean herding cats on mis-rated images.
