Interesting. Wasn't the server burden only rising, not abating?

  • Loli posts are now hidden.

Now people REALLY need to make sure they tag loli correctly. I think this move makes it perfectly clear what the official definition of loli is on danbooru, so please do not tag (and thus hide) safe images as loli, everyone. Thankfully it's not as common as it used to be, but it still happens/.

It's been okay recently. I also plan on migrating servers again sometime in the next two weeks.

Yes, the loli tag right now needs to be cleaned up. Worksafe images should not be considered loli. Teenagers are not loli. Breasts and pubic hair, unless they look like toddlers, are not a loli.

Isn't that how it was before? I could only upload 16 posts per day.

What he means is that if you have a privileged account you can upload all the pics you want without limit.

Oh ok. I don't see how that means much because the only people that I think will want to seriously flood will be new users that have brought lots of stuff this site doesn't have yet but I'm not very familiar yet with how this community works.

What is the definition of "hidden"? And what reasons were behind this decision, if I may ask?

Meaning you need a privileged account. The reason is the same reason 4chan bans it: it scares away advertisers.

So, shall we summarize what the benefits of a privileged account are now? From what I have seen, it is:

1. Being able to use more than two tags in search.
2. Not having to go through the trouble of moderator approval
3. Having no uploads per day limit
4. Being able to see the loli stuff that isn't labeled as safe

It looks like the only people now that really benefit from having a privileged account are power users and lolicons. This privileged account system now looks more like a tease than a goal.
