Name changes for unclear pools

Instead of going through the whole pool, you could have entered this simple query pool:1888 -pov_aiming.

Did you actually try that? It might be because I'm just a Member, but I get the error message "Error: You cannot search for only excluded tags".

I know why it happens - meta-tags in general are treated as negative ones because they can have multiple values and there's no concept of a post not having a given meta-tag, so you can't take the first step of greatly cutting down the search space by saying "only posts with tag X". Pools are an exception to that, though - "pool:x" is equivalent to "post is in pool x", which people search for all the time and which has a table specifically for it. I should really open a Trac ticket about it, but I've been too lazy so far...

Strange, the search just plain doesn't work for me. I don't get an error, I just stay on the main /posts page.

The pool has already been deleted so it's an invalid metatag now. You're actually just getting the main posts page -pov_aiming, which would give that error if you were at member level.

Just wondering, does anyone else think that "Nice Ass" would sound a lot better than "Perfect Ass"? Naming the pool "perfect" kinda makes it sound like the range of rumps that fit in the pool is limited to those only of "perfect" size, shape, not too big, not too small, etc., nut "Nice Ass" sounds like it's for any ass that's particularly eye catching. I just think that "perfect" is too specific for a subjective pool.
