@pony Do us a favour and alter your subscription tags so that I don't receive any images? There's a good chap.

@rotation absolutely!
-
@rotation alright I just need to confirm something.. On your profile it says "This account under Gherkin control" @theLastGherkin isn't subscribed to any of my tags, and I'm not subscribed to @rotation at all. That leads me to believe I'm correct in assuming you're actually Bitrotate. Do you want me to unsubscribe @bitshift from the tags then?
-
@pony Bitrotate is only on SBN.
-
@toksyuryel @thelastgherkin Bitshift has a female OC called Bitrotate I think, so now I'm confused.. Who is @rotation and why would they ask me to remove their tags when they currently have none?
-
@pony He's on your Applejack and awesome tags.
-
@pony That's not me, though as luck would have it, I /was/ going to ask to be unsubscribed from the tags anyway - I don't think I've ever clicked through any except on the public/personal timelines, so it'd benefit me to receive only actual mentions in my replies timeline.
-
@pony You should really make those tags opt-in.
-
@pony Because I get emails from your subscription tags.
-
@bitshift sounds good to me. You're subscribed to a whole mess load of tags so you get all the pics basically.. any you'd like to keep or would you rather receive none?
-
@thelastgherkin thanks. In order to remove the tag I had to temporarily subscribe to @rotation in order to see his subscriptions on my friends list I guess.
-
@pony None of them, thanks. I'm still gonna check through your posted pictures most times I'm actually on here, it's just having them in my replies tab that's ceased to be convenient since my RDN usage habits shifted.
-
@rotation yup. No worries. I'm glad you let me know.
-
@bitshift makes sense to me.
-
@toksyuryel They are. I haven't gone advertising them to anypony since I first set them up, but when I started using them in the beginning I only applied the tags to users who explicitly said they wanted to receive those characters, etc. in their Replies. There were a few exceptions on my subs list at the time however from whom I never got a response, and I think @rotation was one of them. And among those who didn't respond I saw a few and thought, this pony likes awesome pics, so I added the awesome tag to them, (since I planned on using that tag less often). Anywho yeah.. that's how that happened.
-
@pony It's not opt-in if you add people to it when they didn't ask for or consent to you doing so. The correct action after not receiving a response is to not add them.
-
@bitshift "from web" does this mean you're home? <3
-
@toksyuryel Yes, and currently buried deep in a pile of blankets because it is so ridiculously cold right now. D:
-
@toksyuryel Whatever! #nsfw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0-KZS1dDyw
-
@bitshift I hope you have your plushie with you!
-
@toksyuryel Always. <3
-
@pony Good way to annoy people, if that's your goal.
-
@bitshift Now let's get you alllll warmed up~♥
-
@toksyuryel Why'd you think I posted a link to that Southpark clip? I obviously desire to be the most intentionally irritating RDN user.
-
@pony Questioning why I ever unblocked you
-
@pony Wouldn't it be a better idea to post them to groups? That way people can opt in and out whenever they want, without you needing to manage the lists yourself.
-
@redenchilada @pony Especially seeing as we already have several groups for exactly this purpose.
-
blah i need to take a break from staring at this screen, been looking at it for waaaay too long. it doesnt help that i dont sit in a good posture half the time either :0

@toksyuryel @redenchilada That's a nice idea, but group tagged notices don't go to Replies. I actually do care when somepony no longer wishes to be subscribed, and, like I said, there were very few who I decided to tag for awesome pics without them asking.. only those I genuinely thought would enjoy them. Among about 5 users I tagged in such a way, Rotation is the first to ask for an unsubscribe. I'll gladly remove every last tag from all my subs as soon as they request it. I suppose I could begin tagging pics for groups as well, but that's sort of what !saved is for since I don't usually feel like tagging 3 times for each character (# @# and !)
-
@pony But the Replies tab is meant for replies. Not sending every last image you find to people.
Toksyuryel likes this. -
@pony Rotation is not the first, I had you remove me from them too after you added me without my consent.
-
@toksyuryel Ah I stand corrected. I was thinking within the last 6 months.
-
@redenchilada You're unaffected. As far as I'm concerned, as long as some want it and the feature exists I might aswell use it. does that make sense?
-
@pony I just don't think it makes sense to use one feature when another feature is so much more useful for this kind of thing. Subscription tags are for when you need to control who it goes to; groups are better for situations where it's the others choice.
-
@redenchilada yes and no. Groups are great, but I don't visit them often. In fact, I rarely click tags in general. There are advantages and disadvantages to both I think.
