[REJECTED] Tag alias: corkboard -> bulletin_board

Posted under Tags

tag alias #15847 corkboard -> bulletin_board has been rejected.

Reason: Seems like both terms are used to describe the same thing.

If there's any interest in preserving corkboard specifically for the cork variety, I'm willing to make this an implication instead. It seems like these constitute the overwhelming majority of bulletin boards anyway, though, so I'm not sure if maintaining an extra tag would be worthwhile for an object that's relatively uncommon in the art here.

EDIT: This tag alias is pending automatic rejection in 5 days.

I think it'd be best to simply go ahead with this alias. As far as I can tell all the bulletin_board posts are either corkboard or mistagged magnetic white boards (in fact some under corkboard as well). The majority of real bulletin boards seem to be made utilizing corkboard in them anyway, even if it isn't visible (can be patterns printed over the corkboard, fabric covering the corkboard, etc), which makes me feel then that a corkboard tag isn't so much a unique type of bulletin_board, but a tag for the material/pattern of cork. If that's the case, wouldn't it make more sense to simply have a tag specifically for the cork material regardless of usage?

I second this.
