I think one challenge that furbooru has is that its pulling people in from different fandoms with different ideas about tagging. It makes it much harder to find what you want to see and avoid what you don’t.

I was pretty down on this ghettoization. It still seems like a bad idea from the point of view of the site(s). As an advertiser, I’d think twice and splitting my impressions in half. I might not be using DB for ads again until I get some idea of what this means. My questions have been ignored.

That said, as a user after a few weeks, this is a nice place that so far has had universally positive and supportive comments and has avoided the toxicity of both the comments and the mods in the old site. I find myself coming here more often then there, lately.

@Jewellier
Yep, we’re aware -_-

Will be fixed soon, holidays have left some people busier than expected.

Just noticed that when you report an image here, the rules listed are named like on Derpibooru, not like on Tantabus’ Site Rules page. For example, #9 is named Rule #9: Commissions, not Rule #9: Be mindful of image quality.

@Adorable Blue Fox
Bless you. 🌝 Thanks so much for developing and sharing your code!

@Adorable Blue Fox
That looks like great work with great documentation!

Might be a bit before the tech side of things here can have a go at it, holidays and all…

Huge thinks for this!

The comment importer is available on my github repo here

If anyone has any questions, they can contact me on Discord. I’m on the Tantabus Discord server with DM’s open.

@FlatterDeN_AI
Style emulation should only be allowed for artists who no longer make pony, otherwise you’re just harming the community.

@Richard4Ponies
Yes, that should be fine, just make sure to note it in the description.

@IWTCIPP
Woops, fixed!

@Admin
A question occurs! Can a particularly bad one be posted for the purpose of being part of a series demonstrating progression of quality, experiencr, and skill?

On the way back up, slowly but surely. Thanks for the kind responses.  👍

@Admin
Yeah, like I said, I understand why you are cautious.
Heck, people have gone to jail for age-play porn where both parties involved were consenting and verifiable adult.
I used to live in a country where the laws were exceptionally vague and over-reaching. Technically, you could go to jail for drawing stick figures if they really wanted to go after you.
Sorry for rambling, just hate the direction things are going and needed to vent.

Thanks for adding the descriptions on all of those anthro tag pages, very concise.

I’ve copied over the base descriptions from derpi for those tags, sans examples; I can find some later, but if anyone already has some good (safe) ones in mind, please do show.

The basics of this in relation to rule #5 is that the laws on “underage pornography” in some countries the site (via several parts of our infrastructure and key staff) are in are (likely intentionally) very vague. Laws use wording like “images that appear to show an underage person in sexual scenarios” and then some paragraphs further down “obscene imagery is not limited to photographs but can include fictional representations of underage persons”. Basically the laws were made to be so vague that drawn lolicon could get flagged as actual CP, and while it would be exceptional for a prosecutor or judge to actually bother, it’s high risk enough for companies to just terminate services outright over to save themselves the risk.

Now, you’re probably thinking, and this is a sane thing to think, “Sweetie Belle can’t ever possibly be confused for a representation of a real person, she’s a unicorn, she has a horn! And look, I made her unguligrade anthro, no human has hooves for feet!”. Unfortunately people will (and have) just drawn straight up “yep, that’s definitely a human child” lolicon, and slapped a tiny horn on the forehead, or floating wings, made the skin colour a bit different. And for the hooves? Well, they just don’t draw the toes separately, like a sock but make sure the “toes” are bent, and call it “unguligrade anthro”.

I’d like to say these are just hypotheticals, but derpi went through this phase, with loli/shota artists trying to skirt the “no human loli” rules but just changing the most minor things possible to call it “anthro”. The end result was just to set it so “foalcon” was so obviously not involving humans at all as to be “safe” by virtue of being pony/feral only.

Yes, and no. In my opinion it’s a silly goalpost. Of course I agree it’s best to be cautious because I don’t want the site to get in trouble, but I disagree with it because long-term I can take an educated guess which direction the goalpost will eventually be moved.

Eventually, all furry content will be banned worldwide, everyone is imprisoned and it’ll be societal collapse since everything in tech and critical infrastructure is kept going by furries…

Until then, guess I’ll enjoy what I can from here, and what I can make on my own.

The problem I run into here is that I have several generated images with younger characters I have chosen not to post because the hooves aren’t in the frame, but the pose itself would be awkward for a pony, and is human-like enough that I don’t wanna play with fire.

And honestly, I think just erring on the side of caution is better for everyone.

The description in >>29315 should link to >>29316
Likewise, >>29316 should link to >>29315

Cause of the issue is that the link in descriptions uses the image ID from the source, which does not correlate to the image ID on here.

I’m unsure if it should have been reported (using the Other cause) or not.
Posting it here instead in case reports are better meant for high priority matters.

Can probably use this thread to collect ’em all, unless you have a script to find and/or fix them, if there are many instances of the error.

Edit: Same issue is also with the 6-image-series of >>15156, >>15350, >>15398, >>15586, >>15638 and >>15685
At least in this instance, the series has its own tag tag to make them all easy to find, but although the current image link’s ID gives a 404, it’ll eventually link to something completely wrong instead.

@Background Pony #A394
Ugh, that super sucks. I empathize with not being able to do more than base functions when sick; even Adderall can’t save me when I’m feeling yicky. I simply shut down, chug NyQuil, and crash for a week. LoL Hope you’re able to recover soon.

@Thoryn
I don’t think so? You might have to ask staff

@Sunny
Does that mean all kinds of anthro (unguligrade, semi, plantigrade) is considered too human-like?
If it’s anthro (whatever exactly what that means) but with hooves, wings, horns, whatever.. that’s human-like?

Can it be summed up as “Walking on two feet = anthro, don’t post explicit young characters”?

@Admin
Late reply but wanted to say that I like the rule 9 changes.

Let me simplify it for you: Images that appear human-like, such as anthro characters, cannot be made to look underage, even if they are in a stylized form. For example, if you ask the generator to create an ‘anthro’ character (e.g., Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, or Sweetie Belle) and make them look young, the AI will likely do so (most AI platforms will just block your prompt), but posting that here would get you banned.

Can we get descriptors somewhere of anthro, unguligrade anthro, semi-anthro, plantigrade anthro and possibly others, in addition to a table in the rule set of what is allowed to be mixed? Because I’m a bit confused.

If I understand rule 5 (bullet point 2) correctly, sexual situations of anthro mature character is fine, sexual situations of non-anthro underage character is fine, sexual situations of anthro underage character is not fine?

So, for a sexual image of an underage character which has fingers and feet, it’s forbidden and nothing else matters?
Just wanting to know if I understand this right, or if it’s more like “if it looks like MLP it’s fine, but if it looks like a real child cosplaying MLP, it’s not”.

Yeah, I admit I’m basically just leaving it to the professionals at this point, with sincere hope.

And so did mine, if you replace “holiday” with “sick”. Vitamin supplements and cold medicine may get me on my feet and physically functional, but deeper brain work is out the window. I like to wave at it when it cartwheels by with a silly face.

Considering how many patreon links I’ve seen promoted on pixiv, you’d be very surprised at how frequent it is.
