I've been noticing more lately that in spite of the extremely detailed description of the Loli tag, very few recent entries are tagged as such. It makes searching very difficult which was fhe exact opposite of why I got a Gold account to begin with.

Any examples?

The user has tagged post #3155891, post #3671263, post #3640439 and post #3640438 as loli (first one was discussed in comments and has already been reverted).

I have some tags on them blacklisted, so I don’t know if the posts should be tagged loli or not.

They all look pretty loli to me

Maybe the first two, but post #3640439 and post #3640438 don't look loli to me at all. A preadolescent girl should not have such voluptuous thighs or such a prominent pubic mound. She looks like a short adult, not a child.

Canon age doesn't matter, only appearance does.

post #3274991 et cetera
If the appearance is that of a grown-up woman, should it still be tagged as loli?
Also, police doesn't give a shit about canon age, only appearance.

Isn't that a good thing, though?
The loli tag has a very, very distinct description, so it's only natural that only few images meet all the requirements the wiki brings up.
Saying that there is a "lack of diligence" implies that there is mistagging or a lack of care. I don't like that wording, since it doesn't offer a ground for a conversation.

Anyway, I don't see an issue with the usage of the tag. Be reminded that there is also a child tag that's nearly equivalent to this tag. It's a bit different but that's in the details. There's also the way more harder to handle tag petite.

If you wish that other users take a look at loli-esque images, I suggest you use topic #8650.
