Hey sorry we’ve been quiet for a while guys. This thread is a big help, letting us know some of the details that need to be worked on.
Let me try to address some of these concerns real quick.
@Replica
Artist tag/aliases need to be imported from Derpibooru somehow, some artists had multiple aliases, derpi generally had aliases refer to the same artist tag.
We are aware of the tag alias issues, tag descriptions and tag categorization and will be looking for the best way to implement an import/merge. We’ve manually done a lot, but we’ll most likely work toward an automated process.

Incomplete Links:
Site Resources
Tag Guidelines
About Uploading
Spoiler Guidelines
Takedown Requests…
Links like donations have been specifically omitted for the time being for various reasons, other links like FAQ’s and spoiler guidelines should be easy enough to implement, no ETA however, as behind the scene code is taking precedence.

Wait, so the site is still not open too the public yet? how come?
The site is public as far as usability, but we still consider the site in a beta or alpha stage if you will.
There’s a lot to be done, both in the background and in the public viewing before we can say “Yep the site is done”
@Havoc
We need to fix the “view all” section of the forum part of profiles.
Im not sure what you mean by this, when I go to your profile and click view all it seems to function correctly.
@Adan Druego
I saw a post asking if certain tags like “Op is a duck” should be removed. Should the tag be removed. I feel it should be along with other Derpibooru specific tags. Derpibooru exclusive, comments locked down, op is trying to start shit, x in the comments.
Is there a way we regular users could help? Like literally just going though the images and manually deleting those tags for the staff and overall benefit of the site itself?
We have the tools in place to mass delete ‘meta tags’ that dont apply in ponyboorus context, however doing so may cause hiccups or at worst server downtime. We’re toying around with a separate backup to see what the best course of action will be.
edit: I forgot to touch on the Derpibooru exclusive tag. The derpibooru exclusive tag is to denote artwork thats original sourced should be assumed to be Derpibooru itself. Taken directly from derpiboorus tag description
“Any piece of artwork that was posted directly to Derpibooru, and as such the original source is Derpibooru itself. This still applies to pictures that have been downloaded from here and posted elsewhere such as Tumblr or E621. Pictures with this tag should not be tagged with source needed.”
As such, in my personal opinion, that tag should remain in place, but my opinion doesn’t mean something is law. Ultimately tagging semantics fall into a sort of mix between the community and the mod team deicing how things should be tagged, at least thats the way I see it.

Unless im mistaken, the commit that fixed this issue should already be live here. I will bug the system admins and try to get you an answer as soon as I can. UPDATE: Spoke with the system Admin, this fix has not been implemented yet.
So yeah to summarize, we’re aware of most of these issues, and we’re working on them, but I dont have an ETA for you. Im just the messenger, I dont deal with the code sorry guys.
I’ll try to get updates as soon as I can. The elite haxor system admins have done an amazing job so far, even if the public cant see it and they do need their beauty sleep once in a while. But we’re still here and we’re still kicking!
