IMHO bared_teeth should only be for when the lips are curled to show the teeth like a snarling predator. It's not an expression of pain, like a grimace, or excitement, like a grin; it's an overtly hostile expression used as a threat. Good examples of the tag being correctly used are post #1847692, post #2139513, and post #3024109.

It seems like a combine of clenched teeth, grin, biting and roaring? Is it worth keeping?

If there's nothing unique about the tag, then no.

Yes, thunder should only be used for sound effects or actual audio. Given how rare those things are and how frequently this tag is misused, it might be easier to just alias it to lightning.

2020-03-11T00:42:06-04:00

Can we clarify when, exactly, thunder should be tagged? Since sounds aren't generally visible it seems to me that this tag only makes sense when you can hear thunder in a sound-enabled video, or when sound effects (ゴロゴロ, ピカ, etc.) are seen. But a large proportion of the posts with this tag are just lightning.

IIRC, it was a complement of avatar_base, wherein either was sourced or used in that facility of an artist’s account profiles. Again IIRC, I had run into some materials which did not have a proper works page of their own, and/or had interest to contextualizing the presence of said works for those unfamiliar with an artist’s full catalogue (especially for avatar_base, as those are often severely cropped). I suppose *_basis could be substituted, but these days I don’t know what merit this metadata would have anyway.

Those tags then should be meta and have a clarifying wiki, but I'm not sure if there's any use in having them given that typically such pictures are just crops of an artist's normally published work.

I can't see any apparent similarity between any of the posts with this tag. It doesn't appear to serve any consistent purpose.

It seems that the tag was created by @NeverGonnaGive so maybe they'd be willing to explain its original intent.

Dunno if this is the right forum for this...but the artist "lightninglight" should be changed to "eguchi_tumoru"...both his Twitter and his Skeb account use that name vs. only one account using "lightninglight"...

That may be because coffee_can is likely to be misconstrued as a tag for the other kind of coffee can, at least in parts of the world where coffee isn't typically consumed from a can.

I forgot those exists since I'm only used to coffee coming from packages, I just wanted to bring it up since we were talking about canned tags.

Yes. We also have soda can instead of canned soda. What's inside the can doesn't matter. What the shape of the can is, and what it implies is inside, is important.

It was suggested in forum #115299 that the canned beverage tags all be merged together, though I don't understand the point of a beverage_can tag if can is only supposed to be used for beverage cans anyway.

Would it be a problem if we updated can to make clear that cans aren't just for beverages? There doesn't seem to be a better tag in use for empty food cans like post #803740 and post #1352761. We have canned_food, but it feels wrong to use that tag for cans without any food in them.

2020-01-17T00:06:06-05:00

What should we do about swivel_chair? This tag is something like 90% office chairs, though only a handful of them are actually tagged office_chair. The remaining ~10% are mainly just stools, and I'm not sure this tag is suited for them in the first place, since there's no reason to assume that stools like post #3309366 can actually swivel.
