About the "God damn It!" Pools.

I personally do not endorse any of those pools and am against any more "god damn it, X" pools. However, some mods seem to like them.
I'd rather we create a SINGLE tag for ALL characters.

I'd rather have it separated by character, which is kind of the point of the pools.

Would include posts of the character being trolled as well ones of them trolling.

For instance, searching reisen_udongein_inaba trolling would net you lots of pictures of Reisen being trolled by Tewi, not pictures of Reisen trolling others.

This same thing happens with every multiple tag search solution and it's almost never a good excuse for making something a pool instead.

It'd be nice if we could take care another pointless character pool, Perverted Homura, while we're at it.

The "perverted Homura" thing is so widespread that keeping it separate from "perverted girls" does have its uses. It makes it to where it's much easier to find the images where the OTHER girls from Madoka Magica are being perverted, particularly Madoka.

Even though it's possible to use a pool:2059 akemi_homura search to narrow the pool's extent down to those images in the Perverted Girls pool which contain Homura, it's still not precise enough for the desired functionality, as that search could just as easily return images which contain Kyouko perving on Sayaka, with Homura in the background blushing at the display and not part of the action at all.

The theme of Homura acting perverse has produced a sufficiently significant amount of fanart that, coupled with the otherwise difficult prospect of searching by tags, it kinda does need to have its own pool.

The pools shouldn't be merged, and even if you created a tag I would not endorse nuking the pools despite making a tag that would cover them partially. These pools give a nice home for a very large specific subcategory of the tag if it was made, I see no reason why they should be nuked just because you could semi-imitate them with a combined tag search. The pool perfectly encapsulates the intended theme of some specific characters who are noted at being pranksters. As I've said before, it doesn't have to be all or nothing, and we can very easily have some of these ideas coexist.

This is so wrong.
The pools don't have a theme and are not moderated.

All of them share the same name, but have different criteria. Users add posts - and readd if removed - that do not belong in there because of the misleading name and inability to read. I've removed post #840331 5 times already.

Yukari causing trouble to others with her powers or has you saying the words "God damn it Yukari!"
Tewi performing cruel pranks or otherwise being a jerk
Kyubey trolling, or showing up in places where he's hardly welcome.

Take a quick look at the Kyubey pool (pool #3595) and you should be able to tell that more than half of the images shouldn't be in there.

Some examples:
post #880947, post #874670, post #909746
post #885107 , post #888900 , post #1008038
post #1044330 , post #985316 , post #997128
post #995129 , post #987503 , post #989861
post #976181, post #963883

If we really want those pools to be worth anything at all, we need to:
1. Rename the pools to something less ambigious
2. Standardize the criteria for the inclusion of images.
3. Moderate the pools

Funny you focus on those instead of the most important part, that the ideas can coexist. Yes, I acknowledge there is clean up and tightening of definitions necessary on the pools, but these pools could coexist with a tag. I just find it rather annoying that this all seems to be a repeat of the past, and you're starting all over your argument from square one ignoring everything that was said in the past.

Is the fact that you even brought to the table the option that the pools could remain if they're fixed because I "annoyingly" stepped in? It certainly wasn't being passed around as an option. Also, if we do manage to do at least most of those fixes would that content you, or are you just going to lie low for awhile before again bringing up their full removal?
