Pointless Pools

Oops, didn't notice the difference. Corrected.

pool #1499

We have a pool for unlikely crossovers (pool #1339); "unlikely couples" isn't much worse.

...At least in theory, anyway. I don't agree with any of the current contents. Touhou being what it is, I wouldn't call any of the posts that unlikely. The sole non-Touhou post is more simply random than unlikely.

pool #1523

Basically nothing more than traps and futanari.

And if the pool's name is what to go on (since there's no description for the pool's purpose and use) it's redundant, what with the androgynous, futanari, and trap tags.
+1 to nuking it.

RaisingK-

That is what I was trying to get at, that is good enough reason for me then.

pool #1526

Trust_Me pool. Unless the tag is to be eliminated, it's redundant.

I think it should be a tag as we have it. We have other OP/ED-related tags and they're fine. It doesn't need to be a pool.

pool #413

Someone delete most of the posts inside this pool, they break the rules against edited pictures.

I wholeheartedly agree.

I'm certainly for killing them, but it's hard to know if any are legitimate without spending way more time than I'd like staring at them all.

pool #135

So this pool is... what? Intended to be poorly_drawn by non-Japanese artists?

pool #1533

Basically a shiteyanyo pool.

Also not too sure but pool #1536

Considering that it covers an element that is contextual, and likely disputable on a subjective level, yet isn't covered by tags alone, I'm against deleting this one.

The criteria being applied seems a bit... unclear... but yeah I'm not against keeping it, in theory.

pool #1538, "Favorites".

I was looking at that one earlier, its not a bad pool concept, actually, it just needs to be refined a bit more, perhaps.

pool #1567
Actually provides in its description the search which is it identical to (cirno width:999 height:999).

I don't personally do a whole lot with pools, and as such mostly ignore this thread. I understand why pools are worthless when they simply emulate a single tag, and why an equivalent tag search weakens a pool's usefulness and point.

But in a case like pool #1567 where the pool's topic isn't really something someone would think to search for, might it not be worth saving simply to point out that this is a pattern that exists?
