Feedback Adjustments to the "-cow" prefixes in Lolcow forum. -

[Super Collie]

I've noticed there are some cows who get threads here where the six current public tags don't always work to define them. I've compiled a small list of suggestions I've seen around the Farms, plus some of my own, below:

- Retire "Cosplaycow". It's only used by 4 threads, and only one of those threads is active (Pixyteri).
- Change the color of "Artcow". Since it matches the background on the "dark" theme option something like purple or dark green might work.
- Make the Halal prefix sortable. This might be tied into the fact that Halal is a mod-only tag though, so it might not be possible to do this.
- Add "Gamingcow"? Not sure on this one, it might be redundant, but there are quite a few gaming-specific lolcows now. (DSP, Jotex, Brianna Wu, Lowtiergod)
- Add something less intense than "Horrorcow". This prefix is used on everything from pedophiles (Richard Kuta, etc) to fat people (the Slatons) which is a fairly big scope. Maybe something like "Grosscow" or "Shockcow". I'm bad at naming things.

add furrycow

What about Obsess-cow?

 

[Super Collie]

add furrycow

That too, if the mods think there's enough threads. Lumping bronies in with furries for that tag would probably work out if it were added.

What about Obsess-cow?

I thought about that one too and I think I'd seen it mentioned here somewhere before. I'm not sure who it'd be applicable to however. Aaron McCluske for sure, but then you consider 3LAMESTUDIO and "Artcow" works for him, and "Dramacow" works for Derek Savage.

We might as well lump both of those into Halalcows is what he's implying.

- Change the color of "Artcow". Since it matches the background on the "dark" theme option something

Thanks for bringing this to attention.

Furrycow would be way too redundant. Pretty much every cow is some kind of sick fuck, labeling them solely on their fetishes will get very redundant.

The lesser horrorcow label sounds useful. Then again if all you can say about a cow is "they're kinda sick" maybe just no label would be descriptive enough, sounds run-of-the-mill.

Also sadcow would be nice. It wouldn't be used much but I think the few places it would be used would be nice.

Someone suggested "barfcow" some time ago. That could work for lolcows that aren't really horrifying, but really gross. Kinda like the old "disgusting" tag.

we should have a tag for lolcows that someone is friends with and that user disagrees with a thread about that lolcow

I agree with dropping "Cosplaycow" since it's not used much.

Perhaps in my opinion we can also add more prefixes to one lolcow since Dobson can be both an Artcow and a Careercow, for example.

I'm surprised none of you guys suggested "Madcow" for an angry sperg or lower level Skitzocow.

There have been many times where I've had trouble deciding between tags between particular cows. Some of them are a combination of different things rolled into one. There are some Dramacows that tend to sometimes be either Careercows or Skitzocows.

add a "next cwc" tag so folks don't have to put it in their op or thread title
