don't you think we need close clothes?

Posted under General

We have open tags specifically because the default state of clothes is closed and it makes things easier for people to combine with other tags if they're into that.

I bet making and put 'close jacket' is faster then putting 'open jacket' tag on every open jackets

Even if adding it was a good idea, it wouldn’t be called “close jacket,” “Close” is a verb in this context, and means something very different as an adjective. The proper way to word it is “closed jacket.”

Regardless, you’ll need to show evidence that most jackets are open before we can justify reversing current tagging policy. There are literally over a million jacket posts, so even if you’re only encountering open clothes, those posts aren’t necessarily representative of jacket posts as a whole.

I don't think it would be quicker. You'd have to check the same number of posts, i.e. all of the posts in "jacket -open_jacket". If you went through there and tagged the open jacket posts as open_jacket it would achieve what you want, without introducing the closed_clothes tag which would have the issues mentioned (cruft tags).
It would be a bit like tagging "not_1girl" to start tagging closed clothing.

For context, there's lots of tagging to be done everywhere. Good on you for taking some initiative and tagging open_jacket posts yourself, but also people might not jump on helping with your specific interest tag by you ALL CAPSing at them to help. If you can explain why they should divert some time onto it, that might work better.
