bad_id tag for pictures not from pixiv?

Posted under General

My instinct is to say leave it pixiv, because the wiki states that and there are probably some specific scripts and such applying it specifically to pixiv posts. If we opened it up to DA we'd have to make it for AN picture with a broken source link, really.

I suspect that broken_source will probably be misused a lot. Often the source has hotlink protection (especially FC2 sites and other image blogs), so that the link itself will not work, but the image is still there if you open it with an empty referrer (i.e. copy URL and open in new tab).

Interesting, according to forum #15554 a year ago

source request- Used somewhat like the current 'tagme'; for when an image is thought not to be original but the series isn't known.

I had a feeling at the time source_request would be misconstrued for the source field and it appears that came true. Perhaps we need to move source_request copytags:0 to something more intuitive like series_request?

e: Not all of them but most of them, they will have to be checked for sources as well since the tag changed or whatever happened.

This. Pixiv is nice and predictable, and very common on Danbooru. Hotlink protection on other sites would just make things confusing.

Certainly don't want anything else getting mixed in with the bad id tag, either.

Or prevent the tag to be manually added so that only the script can (providing the site can make the difference).

Out of ~30,000 posts tagged bad_id yesterday, only 8 did not have pixiv sources. That's about how many it was last time I checked, a while back. Very easy for me to take care of. There is no problem here.
