I like this badge. It’s super cute.

All art is politics, as is pride, because there are in fact some people who are against pride.
 
I would possibly restrict the politics flag to outright politicking (which is hard to define, but maybe “active argument for some political position, generally involving some sort of text or dialog”) or symbols of particular political parties.

Here’s a question: Who/where do I go to ask if an image is good for uploading onto here. I rather go into my reasons for asking to who/where I’m pointed to.

@Cyan Lightning  
Me too XD

@Joey  
I will assume that by “pride” you mean LGBT movements and symbolism. As any other (social) movement and respective symbols, such as flags, they are part of the political spectrum. It would be a double standard to leave it out from that tag. Also, manifestations are a direct political tool for the common citizens after all (thinking about pride parades and rights demonstrations).
 
On the other hand I wouldn’t add politics to the standard filter. There are other tags that would cover non-peaceful political statements in art. Grimdark, grotesque, gore, rape, and whatever else there is in conjunction to political (e.g. “political, gore” which is probably covered by “gore” alone already).

@SigmasonicX  
Pride is not politics. I highly doubt that pride related tags would ever be hidden/spoilered by the default filter.

Yes, so we’re in agreement then.  
And yeah, sorry, I realized you weren’t staff, same with Moon Flower, but I got heated regardless.

If anything, just put a spoiler on the politics related stuff. Simple, and it wont hurt anyones beliefs.

@SigmasonicX  
No staff have said theyd do that. Dont overreact to what ive said. I personally think politics shouldnt be forced onto people, and gay pride isnt politics, its just people showing pride.

Honestly, the idea that Gay Pride is something the site is considering hiding from non-registered users is enough to make me consider withdrawing my recommendation for this site to other people.

@SigmasonicX  
Again, if people want to see it they can look for it. But some people, including me, would rather avoid it outright and have it pre hidden.
 
Mind you, im Bi, a girl, and a supporter of all lives matter. I just dont like seeing politics thrown into my daily dose of art. And nobodys here for politics, theyre here to enjoy furbooru and the community.

@Jinx  
The idea that a Gay Pride image would count as politics, or that it would be something a regular user of this site wouldn’t want to see, doesn’t feel right at all, though. That’s a stricter definition of politics than even Derpibooru, and I would assume the furry fandom is much more accepting of Gay Pride than the community of Derpibooru. The same applies to support of Black Lives Matter.

Ideally, this site has no politics unless you look for them. Keeps it clean for those of us who dont want to see it.

@SigmasonicX  
Policy isn’t set in stone entirely yet, but it’s not dangling around either. We’ll discuss your proposal internally, though. Thank you for voicing concerns and we would like you to know that you’re listened to!

So no set policy, then? In that case, my preference is that “politics” should be spoiled and not hidden in the default filter. I think hiding those images would give a bad impression of this place.

@SigmasonicX  

 
There were already extended discussions about that on Discord. I for one would say yes. Then it got to if showing off gay pride stuff is politics, which I think it is too.
 
Though, I think I don’t need to mention there were different opinions.

One more thing, what’s the policy on images where a character holds up a Black Lives Matter sign? Would that get a “politics” tag, and thus be blocked by the default filter?

@SigmasonicX
 
This thread was created when the site was still in beta, but it is no longer in beta, it even has official Twitter account here: https://twitter.com/furbooru. Feel free to mention the site ;)

Thanks! I notice this topic says that the site’s in Beta. Is that still the case? Is it fine to mention this site on Twitter?

@SigmasonicX  
Humans are to be tagged as “not furry” and this includes Equestria Girls unless they have animal body parts - in that case they are humanoids.
 
Screenshots from TV shows are not allowed per Rule #1 :  

Oh nice, this site seems like a great alternative to Derpibooru, from the rules. I would like the safe tag to be a bit, well, safer, but in practice it seems like people are handling it like Derpibooru’s safe anyway.
 
A question about Equestria Girls, they are humanized but they also have non-human skin colors. I assume they’re “not furry” regardless, but is that so?
 
Also, what’s the policy on hosting screenshots from a show, ex: MLP?

@Anonymous #EC94  
There is no such tool that I know of. Some tags are different here from those on Derpibooru anyway (most importantly the rating ones) so automatically importing everything is not a good idea anyway.

O. O… Okey

As an artist, is it possible to import galleries from sites like Derpibooru or would the images need to all be reposted?

@Anonymous #6B3A  
Only ones im personally interested in are thread starter, and maybe a few useless badges to fill space.
