Years ago ever since I first joined it, I had virtually no problems with it, but in recent years, I am extremely betrayed.
To start off with a simple fact, I fully acknowledge that there should be guidelines when it comes to tags, but I will argue if anything, there should only be SOME regulation. In the process, it has become FAR too easy to screw yourself and get banned off of the platform. In my case, I was banned for not just creating tags, but the other is using “invalid tags.”
It is another disgraceful example of administrative and moderative overreach, and it pisses me off because as a result, people and I have to constantly walk on eggshells, which I really resent. It makes me lose faith in Booru image boards in terms of those in power, because mods and admins cannot be held to account and being criticized. I tried to send an angry email to Booru themselves, but nothing.
It is true that I have created tags, but here’s the thing; the tags I made are well founded and established. And we are getting punished for those. At this point, I want someone to please give me much better alternatives/competitors to Rule34.xxx, as well as Booru in general, because abuse of power and discipline have reared its ugly head. I just wish there are much better ways to hold these assholes accountable and have them being susceptible to repercussions like anyone else.
I pretty much only use Sankaku Complex’s booru. It has technical issues like feature creep and half-baked filtering but seems to be okay content-wise at least.
