Pointless Pools

Posted under General

Here's another subjective private pool: pool #903 ("Disgustingly Adorable"). Things like this should be public, not private. Since someone's created a mimic (public) pool (pool #1046, "Absurdly Adorable") and all of 903's have been imported, just get rid of 903.

If you're not going to get rid of pool #544, change its ownership and make it public too.

The reason why RiderFan closed pool #903 off to the public is due to post #521487.

A vague definition is going to generate differences in opinion. Deal with it, or delete it if you can't.

As for pool #544, yes, it has been private as long as I can remember. I have no qualms in leaving it private, since the pool owner tends to be more discriminating in his selections.

Discriminating (to you) or not, that shouldn't be up to one person.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to put a brief notice in the pool creation page regarding what pools should not be used for. Something along the lines of "Do not create pools for the sake of grouping your personal favorites. Do not create pools that duplicate simple tag searches." And whatever other unspoken rules there may be (I'm guessing my private+subjective complaint isn't one of them...)
