Feature suggestions and discussion

Does ponerpics have all art imported from derpibooru or only some portion of that? I mean, is it completely archived?

Feature suggestion: a pinned thread for general site-related questions like ^@Soft Lava
I also had questions about the imports, mostly out of curiosity.

@Marker

I know…


@Background Pony #ECE7
I could ask


@Background Pony #B0EA
Interesting.


@Soft Lava
No. We are missing around about 100,000, which we are in the process of preparing to copy to the site

@Lotus
Waiting for some time and then importing new images from derpibooru might not be an optimal sollution. It might be good to automize such process.

I also don't know if staff will take legal action against ponerpics for ^pffft stealing art.

Alright, a question for everyone:

I was considering, once the (staff) importer is finalized, changing the default sort-by system so that images are sorted by ID number rather than by upload date, which means that new images can be steadily imported from Derpibooru, while user uploads take up the front page(s). The idea is to give more focus to uploads that artists make directly to PonerPics.

Of course, you can always change the “sort by” back to upload date.

@Lotus
I like this idea

@2Merr
I agree.

I second this. Our homeand should know its heroes.

@Lotus
Seems fine. As long as it's only applied by default to the home page.

This sounds like a great idea. I miss the increased engagement on OC. The porter bot has been uploading images with new 6M+ ids instead of the original Derpibooru ones though. Til' that's figured out, I made a small filter that hides images imported by staff bots. https://www.ponerpics.org/filters/216

@𓃗𓂸
Hold on, I could've just used usernames instead of memorizing the uploader id?!

@EverfreeEmergencies
Yeah it took me way too long to find that out too.

@𓃗𓂸
I just have to say that I love your username.

@𓃗𓂸
Okay, serious question, is that an uploaded avatar or did it actually generate a white coated yellow maned earth pony background pony at random?

@Lotus
It's uploaded. Generated avatars uses svg.

@Lotus
I just modified the fill colors of an svg with the correct mane and turned it into a png.

The tag “standing splits” should alias to “vertical split” because both are being used to describe the same thing.

When merging images, the tags are also merged. This is normally good, but the porter bot adds an “imported from x” tag when it uploads, so the tag gets applied to images that were uploaded here first. Would it be possible to exclude “imported from *” whenever tags are merged? (except in cases where the tag is already on both images)

@2Merr
Seconding

Didn't want to make a new thread for this so I'll post it here:
Some images have issue changing their rating tag. I believe >>2001410 should be explicit but I can't change it from questionable.

@mys_elf
How do you figure? I only see teats showing, so questionable should be fine.

@mys_elf
I think a questionable rating is appropriate, but I get the same error. When "Questionable" is removed, and "Explicit" added, it says that only one sexual rating is allowed and it rejects the change. So I see the problem.

@Lotus
I realized after the post that crotchtits aren't considered explicit, which I find a bit odd but alright. Sometimes tag editing can have some oddities.

crotchtits aren't considered explicit?

@Soft Lava
Neither are boobs, they are considered "questionable" for the purpose of tagging. I guess the intent is to allow a lower rating for cases of artistic nudity.
