tied up (nonsexual) needs nuke or extensive change

This has always been a problem tag, but considering tied_up is now a separate tag (which is still being misused but not as egregiously as before it was renamed,) it seems to me that tied_up_(nonsexual) ending up on sexual posts must either be due to deliberate trolling or people autocompleting tags without even reading them afterwards. Both should be considered bad uploader/tagger behavior.

I concur. The current tag is unambiguous enough that there's really no excuse for misusing it. Moreover, typing "tied_up" autocompletes to bondage, so anyone using tied_up_(nonsexual) has to be using it intentionally. If anyone is persistently using this tag the wrong way, I'd strongly consider issuing them a neutral record as a wake-up call.

But I suspect that the bulk of erotic art with this tag is just leftovers that didn't get cleaned up when the tag was renamed.

I tried to so some clean up. While the tag name isnt ambiguous, determining what is and isnt sexual is.

post #852809 is sexual but the implication is that she got tangled up accidentally. post #4738541 has a bondage feel but is (correctly) rated safe. post #5061845, tying a girl below and above the breasts could be seen as kinda sexual.

P.s. Unsurprisingly there are a ton of posts under bondage that needs to be moved to this tag.
