I didn't say anything about collages. Or were you referring to my idea to stitch them from five days ago? Because I'm not arguing in favor of that anymore.
I think the wisest idea would be to upload one here...and then link to where you can find all variants, ideally on a site better equipped to handle giant swatches of tachi-es. That way, they still get archived somewhere, but you aren't annoying people in the process with said spam.

You can just dump them into your media assets and then link the assets in a comment. That way we aren't reliant on a third-party site (many of which Danbooru has outlived). It's not an ideal way to browse but maybe one day.
I think at this point the least offensive thing to do would be upload one or just a few of a variant set as posts, leave the rest as assets, slap the variant set available tag and list the assets in a comment.

That sounds like a good compromise. I think if there are any large variant set uploaders who care about actually archiving art, they should do this.
I think for large variant set, we can limit the number of child posts displayed (to about 3-5).
And can we differentiate the variant set into expression variant set, clothes variant set, or other types?

please refrain from mass uploading minor variants of the same character. No one wants this. Everyone hates it. If you keep this up, I'm demoting you...
...
If you want to upload these somewhere, upload them to E-Hentai. Danbooru is fundamentally not designed for this....
To be honest, I don't quite understand what consensus we ultimately came to, because despite @/evazion statements, the uploading of such content continues, and what's more, the initiator is a banned user asking other people to do it for him.
I'm talking about @TiaraYBP. Previously, some posts were even manually deleted, and the user was banned, but now, after some "private discussion" (as stated in the feedback), the user has been unbanned, and is now fully authorized to continue uploading the aforementioned content.
I just want an answer, was this an exceptional case with a specific user or do the words quoted at the beginning of this message still apply to everyone?
ANON_TOKYO said in forum #442420:
Yeah, allowing ban evasion by proxy is stupid.
It's not just stupid, it's straight-out retarded, especially considering the posts from socks were expunged.

The user was banned because they didn't improve their sourcing after being asked to, not because of what they were uploading.

Which is a very unusual action to take since we usually don't permanently delete posts just because they come from socks. The numerous troll posts still on this site can attest to this.

Which just shows that those posts are being considered spam. They're also what he started spamming on his socks. So even assuming it's not just him on a dirt cheap residential proxy, considering it ban evasion by proxy is not unreasonable.

User who got banned was not banned for his tachi-e uploads, but for his refusal to source his posts.
I knew about this, but I decided to mention this fact simply as an aggravating circumstance. Because the whole situation with the tachi-e variant set has already, over time, effectively turned it into borderline content due to disapproval from many users (especially when some of the posts were completely expunged) and now it's even started to be abused by, to put it mildly, not the most exemplary user.

The consensus remains to use your brain, be moderate, and don't make it everyone else's problem.
Personally, the situation seemed identical to (or even worse) the tachi-e situation posted by CommentaryRequest and which was resolved far from being in favor of these tachi-e, so I thought it would be helpful to clarify. Thanks for the answer.

I do find it curious as well that the banned user's tachi-e variant spam in particular would be permanently deleted. What makes his tachi-e variant spam different from the rest of the spam? It's not like we permanently delete all the approved art that gets uploaded by the millions of annette socks.
The conclusion I have come to is that the spam is at present considered allowable as long as it benefits uploaders inflating their upload/approval count regardless of how obnoxious and obtrusive it is to the end user, and since the banned user would not be able to continue uploading such posts by virtue of being banned, those posts ceased to have any value to him and by extension anyone since let's be honest nobody likes the spam except for the people who get to farm their meaningless upload count off them.
Already we have Science Adventure fans complaining about how their tag is being shat on by spam just because some ban evading clown is egging people on to spam pages upon pages of worthless tachi-e variant posts for him in exchange for a post count boost. I must once again urge our benefactors to take action to prevent the site experience from being ruined by this nonsense, since this spam has only gotten worse since The Great Dairi Spam of 2025 and I fear it will only continue to get worse especially with trolls cashing in on its continued allowal to disrupt the site.
I'm terribly sorry for starting this again, but this issue needs to be resolved ASAP. Over a half of all Chaos;Head posts are those meaningless CGs (at the moment, 1591 posts out of 3148 total), rendering the tag unusable without adding -large_variant_set in the search, thus wasting the precious tag limit. This is beyond unacceptable.

Is there no chance the powers that be could just like permanently delete all of those sprite spam posts like they did with the ban evading guy? I mean those posts at least in that copyright specifically are *from* him, so it would be consistent if nothing else, and literally everyone benefits. The clown who spammed the site with those images can't complain because he's banned, as Evazion has pointed out earlier in this thread literally nobody likes these spam posts so nobody else will complain either, and the people who just wnat to look at fanart (aka 99.9% of the website userbase) will be very happy that they can now browse danbooru instead of spriters-resource.
I must once again point out this problem is only getting worse and it will only continue to get worse until someone does something about it. A lot of game copyrights I like browsing art for haven't been hit by this spam yet, but it's only a matter of time until the upload count padder circus finds the wikis for those games and dumps every single game asset from there onto danbooru, and that will be a very sad day for the art browsing experience of both myself and many others. It's already pretty inconvenient for me, imagine how bad it is for the restricted plebs who don't have the alloted tags to remove this spam (not that you have to imagine it, they're literally in this thread, other threads, the discord, and even other websites complaining about it).

While we're at it, can we stop flooding Blue Archive with this shit? It's been going on daily for a month. BA is a much larger tag than Chaos;Head and gets a good flow of daily art, but that doesn't mean the impact isn’t still felt, even whenever the spam finally stops. Touhou is the largest copyright on the site (original doesn’t count), by a factor of 2, and I still run into The Great Wall of Dairi anytime I get within 100 meters of that tag.
Just because it's not polluting the front page doesn’t mean it's not still an obnoxious hindrance to the user experience.

Uh yeah no. BA gets enough art that you can deal with coming across some tachi-e sets every now and then, this isn't comparable to the Chaos;Head situation at all. Blacklist it if you want.
