Abusive Tagging

Things like this should not be happening. This is WAY beyond trolling.
This is both defamatory and abusive and I'm sure is meant as a form of attack!
IMHO the tags should have a hover feature that link back to the users profile that made it. Make people accountable and make this sort of abuse trackable on the site.
Please fix this:

You'd think by now even the "implication" of something so strong as tags like "white supremacy" or "nazi-related-content" would have been immediately removed & the user either warned heavily or banned.

I cannot believe this has been up this long and nothing has been done yet.

Yeah this is very important. Please do something about this Civitai. Some people may abuse it instead of competing fairly with talented creators, which is the essence of this website. Additionally, no matter how good your search bar is, it's rendered useless by these faulty tags so it affects both creators and viewers.

At first glance I thought that was a tongue in cheek joke, but now i'm 80% sure you just created that account to troll people on a random bug report board. Does this feature request threaten your ability to continue trolling and tagging images with bogus tags?

dinuccinick37: "Freedom of speech" does not allow you or other people to deface other peoples art or work without repercussion. That's not how it works at all.
I'm saying this for the rights of others to not have their work corrupted or denigrated

I'm going to defend the site a little here, you can downvote these tags if they are not relevant. This will create a report for mods and they will check them. I just downvoted these tags myself and hopefully others do so as well and hopefully this will eventually get fixed.
That being said, I don't think this is acceptable, especially when some of these tags when clicking on them show nothing or images with the same tag being used, still not being relevant to the image. Mods should be on this and some of these tags should be bannable in my opinion, especially if they are being misused.
Another thing to note that I would love to have is a definition/ example that pops up for some of these tags. This is irrelevant to this issue but I think it would be a great improvement.

guy907223982: I don't think downvotes remove those tags. Either way it's not removable by a single vote, but adding it only requires a single vote, so it'll be a constant uphill battle against the abusers.

moesah: i was told by mods that it removes these tags, but maybe it's only for models that i make. I'm not sure tbh. I just know if something is recognized wrong i downvote it, a flag appears and then it gets fixed.

guy907223982: maybe you have super powers or something, because i've never seen the tags disappear after downvoting them

moesah: just wanted to show im not crazy lol. This is from someone else who reviewed a model of mine. I didn't even downvote the sexy attire, the uploader did, and it seems to be in the process of being reviewed. Just wanted to show this is a thing that happens on the site.

moesah: same with these. They just got marked. Again, maybe it is only the owner of the post or something idk.

guy907223982: That's interesting. I just checked and those "Sexual Acts" tags are gone from your images now. That trick must not be working for everyone because I have an image with tags I downvoted over a week ago. No tiny moderator flag, and the tags are still there.
I do still think we need a way to prevent people from abusing the tag system, even if this tag flagging trick worked for everyone. Otherwise it'll just become a game of whack-a-mole.

moesah: Totally agree, there should be tags that need moderation before they can be posted on an image. Especially the ones on that specific post. When clicking on some of them it doesn't even allow me to search for images other images with the same tags, just gives 0 results. Hopefully there are banned words and these just aren't filtered.

guy907223982: That downvote idea is great in concept but not so good in application. If that was the case why do those tags still remain? IMHO that system doesn't work correctly or the way it was intended to work. It only takes ONE bad actor to take advantage of this as we can clearly see.

I, and a few others, won't even post on this site because religious extremist nut jobs and scum "creators" go around doing this to anyone they think is doing well. It's ridiculous that the admins even allow free and open tagging without oversight. Especially when we are punished in the rankings because of this defamatory bullshit.

I suspect that at least some of this is caused by people trying to promote their own images, and tagging trending images with NSFW tags to hide them for most users. I don't even have any popular models, but one of my images started getting a lot of reactions and then suddenly got tag bombed like this.
I'm all about crowd sourcing, but actions that have moderation implications like this absolutely need checks, balances, and a trail of accountability. Unmask the people doing this, and give us a way to report people abusing the system. Let's clarify something important for the devs as well:
a reputation system is not enough to fix this
in itself. If someone farms reputation in some other way, that should not permit them to be abusers.A robust solution to fix this would be a public log of any tag activity on an image. "So-And-So added the 'Offensive Hand Gestures' tag to this image" and "Other-Person upvoted the 'Offensive Hand Gestures' tag on this image". It doesn't have to be visible on the image front and center, but there should at least be a button or a way to look up the log for a particular image.
As a quick and dirty stop-gap, you could just require an associated image comment any time someone adds a new tag. If they felt strongly enough to add the tag, they should feel strongly enough to justify their reasoning for it. I'd much rather have an image tag log though.

moesah: I think if at least the creator of the node (either model creator or image creator) could see the tagging logs and report falsely tagging users, it would bring the devs some more transparency if there is a pattern behind accounts tagging this way. The next step would then be to decide on a platform level, if they want escalational steps (e.g. warning to the users, removal of tags that the users did in a certain period, notifications to tagged profiles to check on absusive tagging, temporary or permanent removal of tagging priviledges)

Exactly. I've seen these types of tags on many other popular models as well. Some sort of action should be taken on such good for nothing people.
