I think that rewrite of “tag your shit” rule should specify that mistagging inflammatory things (i.e. failing to tag political stuff or actively untagging it, or otherwise tagging things in a way that people who are filtering the subject are exposed to it) is verboten.

What was the name of that one file hosting site that was advertised a while back? I would love to see it make a return since I forgot to bookmark it.

I think artists should have full control over who sees their art, but an edit is an artistic expression of ones self.
 
Edits for the sake of expressing your own opinions should be 100% valid and not warrant a take down.  
We as a community are established enough to support ourselves in what we do. And not to sound like a bribery, but id be willing to chip in to help keep the site running if the concern is how many artists we pull in. It doesn’t have to be full archive mode, but we can at least respect one another artistic endeavors.

I have discovered that there are plans to serve Furbooru pages/images in place of the images deleted/hidden off of ponybooru for being furry with no pony relation.

This actual boiler plate response. Holy shit.  
this collab is proof
 
That your filter’s choice of tags is inadequate. If someone is triggered by a white-coated blonde-maned blue-eyed mare with a pink heart or more generic german imagery over a pink heart on her ass, they need to go take their fucking meds.  
[boilerplate ‘use your filters’ response]
 
I will be.  
By putting together a public filter that is the default but with the goal that your filtering of OCs half-tries and fails at.  
And anchoring it to the post in the thread you despise using, for some godawful reason, despite it being a good half of the reason you bothered changing plans.  
Seriously dude, digging your head into a dicksword circlejerk where you huff each other’s shit constantly is how we fucking got here in the first place. Don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.  
Go to proper place or get no traction because i don’t want to listen to you here.
 
Alright, we’re in the proper place, since you’ll plug your ears until otherwise.

#Filtering two OCs just because of concept association is actually retarded (especially as said concept is already filtered), and whoever chose to do this is either a twittermite, someone kowtowing to them in secrecy, or just plain dumb at the time.  
#You haven’t burned through your goodwill quite yet so i’ll opt for minor incompetence over malice right now.  
+Comb through oc-related tags to remove Nazi, Communism, etc. from characters often tagged together with them. Good rule of thumb: ‘Is the horse dressed like, marked as, or stating such an ideal?’ If not, trim tag.  
#There’s a lot of Aryanne images filtered because they have nazi tag but no actual nazi imagery, actions, symbolism, etc. present. Partly a Import Issue but not wholly so. Do the same for Veronika, Leslie, and both the ancom OCs while you’re at it, though Ary (and related) will no doubt be the more arduous task.  
+Add actual politics tags to the filter. Non-exhaustive list (there’s almost definitely a lot more): socialism, anarcho-communism, anarcho-capitalism, anarchist, possibly anarchy, political compass, etc.  
#If the goal of the filter is to do to political art what Derpibooru did to their remaining integrity, then you need to do more than just ‘lol authcucks get fucked’. If that’s not the goal, then why the fuck did you filter two OCs commonly bitched about being on that end of the woefully inadequate political graph, only one of which actually was sometimes such?  
#If politics aren’t the goal to filter, then you already know what to trim to fix that, i shouldn’t need to be here to walk you through it.  
#Example filter of more complex option presented, along with several tags i found that fit the ‘politics’ bill: here

I guess we’ve been waiting for someone to volunteer to do it. But since you brought it up, I’ll start working on it today.  
I won’t comment on the rest of the post, as I agree with what was said.

One of my moderators brought up the “wait, why didn’t you filter the other OCs?” and my response was legit “there are other OCs?”  
Yeah, the goal is to basically just be “If you look at this content and then complain it’s your own fault.”
 
So yes, leslie and the other OC’s will be added to the default filter - as well as the actual related politics tags. This is more of an oversight than anything else - and the mod team has already agreed to adding the OCs into the default filter. We’ve not talked about adding the related ideology tags to the default filter but I expect there won’t be any issue with that.
 
Obviously it’s late, I’m tired. I’m not going to do anything about this right now but it’ll be done soon.
 
Apologies if you felt the response was too boilerplate, I tend to write stuff that way to avoid pissing people off more. It obviously won’t do anyone any good if I argue in the comments about a topic that isn’t even related to the image.
 
I’m glad you’ve posted your thoughts here, I agree that there’s things that should be in the default filter and are not - and hopefully I’ll be able to remedy that soon. Likely tomorrow or the next day. Again, this really doesn’t affect anyone who takes the time to switch from default to everything* or, alternately makes an account and make their own custom filter(s).
 
Sort of off-topic but even if we trimmed “nazi” or “anarcho-capitalism” or other ideology tags from certain images, there will still be people that have very strong feelings regarding association. Therefor the OCs should probably still be left on the default filter. I think it’d just be easier to treat it as all equal.

Those people are likely from twitter and should be disregarded on principle due to being not only outsiders, but typically invaders, but you choose to do what you will at your (and the site’s) own peril.  
At least you’re finally being consistent, even if your consistency leaves much to be desired for the end user for a site based on supposedly freedom and liberty.  
And as i said, if someone is so assmad about a literal color scheme and generic assmark that they froth at the mouth, then they need to…  
what’re the zoomers using this week? ‘Touch grass’?  
Yeah, that.
