[Site News] [Community Feedback] What Should LewdCorner Fix First? (Open for 5 to 7 Days)

To me the most aggravating thing about LC is t he failure to implement a search feature. For example - while I think its awesome that Tripod just responded in the Sister in Law thread (Loved it back in the day btw) having it show up in the second slot on Games and not having the ability to simply see which games have had the latest updates is why I stopped donating to the site.
 
About Tags
My first suggestion is to create a locked post listing all the tags and the rules for a game to receive each tag. This list would be for reference — if there already is one, I've never been able to find it even after searching.
Another suggestion is that the link to this list should be on every game post, perhaps inside a Spoiler: "Tags and Rules" where you could have links to the tags post, forum rules, and other useful links. Sorry for not providing a standard template, but work calls :p.

I know that fetish tags are a complicated matter, but everyone has their own — hence the need for a list that defines them for Lewd Corner.
I'm really into harem, but for me it's more than just having sex with more than three people — there's a whole context behind the fetish. I understand the need to differentiate between Harem (Shared), Harem (Japanese), and Harem (Traditional), and it ends up being one of the more common tags. Similarly, netoru (NTR) content is already divided into three: netorare (NTRR), netorase (NTS), and netori (NTL).

Harem (Traditional) — The protagonist has 3 or more simultaneous love interests, engages in consensual sex, they agree to share the protagonist, he/she stays faithful to that person, and there's an established relationship.
Harem (Shared) — The protagonist has 3 or more simultaneous love interests, engages in consensual sex, they agree to share the protagonist, and the protagonist also shares with people outside their relationship circle.
Harem (General) — The protagonist has sex with multiple different people, has multiple love interests, the interests don't know about or don't agree to sharing, and the protagonist has to choose one in the end. This encompasses all content classified as harem that doesn't fit into the more specific categories, or a mix of Harem (Shared) and Harem (Traditional). It would be a parent tag, just as netoru is a parent tag for netorase, netorare, and netori.
I tried this back when I was staff... and it was a fucking hellhole of a disaster. There used to be (I cant find it anymore) a page that I think was /tags/ that had a list of all tags and their definitions. I know, because I spent prob 30+ hours going through each based on usage (tags with the highest usage based on how many threads had that tag) and also the "popular or unpopular" ones. I would red the desc (often very generic), discuss it with people, and even toss it through AI, which was not nearly as good back then as it is now, all in attempt to clarify that stuff. The NTR ones kinda got glossed over, but after a poll I made had the "use the 3 japanese netorare/netori/netorase words and descriptions", I used those (I actually copied the ones from one of the most popular anime/japanese-game sites at the time per recommendations).

I worked hard trying to clarify some of the more abused ones, or ones that were often used when not valid (example, a game getting "twins" tag when the MCs brother's neighbor's uncle's boss knew someone who was a twin and it was mentioned, so the dev felt they could grab that tag). The point is, I cant even find the page that I spent a fuckton of time on anymore. It might not exist, but if it does, I doubt its doing much good. But that is partially due to the fact that it was so unfinished even after that much work. It would prob take like 40 threads where just a single tag or a pair of similar tags was discussed with the community to clarify what was wanted/needed to get it even 3/4th of the way "done". Cheating was another example. Does the tag mean the MC is cheating? The MC is being cheated on (wouldnt this be a NTR tag instead/also?), or some unrelated person is cheating and the MC hears about it? The Harem example was another nightmare. Talk to 50 people, and you would get 40 different versions of what should be done, and the other 10 randomly agree with one of the existing ones. And none of the 40 would accept the versions the other give.

NTR/Harem/Sharing/Cheating/Trans-andor-futa/Swinging/Rape were all big issues tags.
Besides the obvious ones, there were huge arguments on what was trans vs futa at the time. Some wanted them grouped, lots didn't. Swinging had some odd differing views too, which I didn't really understand. And oddly, rape. Just like cheating, it matters who is doing the rape or being raped. If MC is raping someone, most people are fine with that. If MC is being raped.... then it depends on if its a FeMC or MMC game. Male getting raped? Prob a lot of people against it unless its shota. FeMC getting raped? Most people into FeMC games are prob fine with this, or even expect it. So there was discussion about breaking those tags up. Cheating-MC, Cheating-LI, Cheating-Other. Rape-MC, Rape-LI, Rape-Other. As you can imagine... this just kept compounding into massive shit piles of both work and arguments.

I personally dont know about or understand the "netorare-2" thing, but I imagine at some point in time some other sucker got asked to work on the tags and ended up in the same rabbit hole I was, and thought it would help something. Or Jack decided to stop torturing his staff and did it himself. In which case, haha. I hope you suffered like I did. Just kidding. Maybe.

Long story still long because I have a mental disease that prevents me from being brief: Tags are a fucking landmine that I don't ever expect to see "Fixed" because that means 100 different things to 100 different people.
 
Y'all can downvote me, but I actually like the new LU. I know it's got a few bugs, but patience is key. I would rather see effort go into tag categories in LU and Booru. IE. Have NTR as a parent tag, and then the breakdowns of what kind of NTR as sub options.

To me the most aggravating thing about LC is t he failure to implement a search feature. For example - while I think its awesome that Tripod just responded in the Sister in Law thread (Loved it back in the day btw) having it show up in the second slot on Games and not having the ability to simply see which games have had the latest updates is why I stopped donating to the site.
