Clearer definition of "so_moe_i'm_gonna_die!" tag

Posted under Tags

The so_moe_i'm_gonna_die! tag might need a clearer definition and a bit of cleanup. It seems to me that some are adding the tag despite there being no indication of "severe mental shock, injury (or even death)" in the pictures: see post #2636079, post #2661844 and post #2670231.

Perhaps a condition could be added that there is some form of detrimental damage actually shown? Like moe doing actual damage, rather than simply character reactions to cute stuff, which I believe is not what the tag is about. I believe the point of the tag is an overreaction to moe, where one can even get hurt or die. Basically, it's so cute that it actually hurts.

Hmm, I think it's pretty clear already though. Looks like just mistagging to me.

Same here.
If it continues, then a DMail can be sent to those users. If they still continue, then a mod/admin should look into the case.

The definition in the wiki already says it needs visible damage like nosebleeds or an apparent heart attack to qualify... so I don't see a need to add extra bits to the wiki. Just removing the posts which don't qualify should be enough.

I was one of the users who was confused by that tag description, so I edited the wiki to add some examples of what not to tag. Feel free to fix it if there are issues with my edit.

So what should the tag be for a reaction to cuteness that's not fatal? That theme should definitely still be searchable regardless.

Hmm, well doesn't that sound like the kind of thing a pool is for? Or do you mean something more specific?
