Clarification on paid rewards and commissions variations
I want to make it clear how we should operate going forward:

1. If a post has a better version or paid reward available, please re-parent the post and do not delete the old post, instead, hide the old post from index.

2. spoiler
After having discussed the matter, when uploading multiple variations, make sure to parent them correctly and hide everything but parent from index.
How much variation we can upload?
Someone said before that 8 variations are too much and someone else said 5.
I'll go with 10 to make everyone happy. Please do keep it reasonable, and please hide all child variations from index.
I've found that using the "parent:none" command alleviates seeing excessive numbers of child posts. Only problem then is that sometimes a significant child post refers back to a pic that was posted months ago and if we're using that command we won't know that both it and the parent even exist.

My opinion, disagree hiding child variations from the index.
Because, in my case, when I look at a picuture, I don't judge whether it's my favorite artists or not, but on whether it's a good picture or not based on the thumbnail. Probably there are many people who do the same.
I want to see good pictures even if by unknown artists. However, if this rule limits the display in the index to only the parent, then even if there are good pictures at child variations, it will be missed.
Please rethink this rule.
I never look at index. Good artists should be already on your checklist, artists who have direct connection too anime industry, and not some random cheap fanfiction ones, who are making 2+ copies othe same image with different clothes and call it an art. Those outside industry and who are worthy have to be in your bookmarks long long ago, that's the whole purpose of this booru.
The point is to not flood the index. And I don't think most variations are different enough that one will think the main one is bad while the others ones are good.
@seeek
I hope to see good pictures, including those by unknown artists.
I need to look at the index for that.

@fireattack
I think the limit of 10 child variations is sufficient to not flood the index.
and, as alawala said, if child variations are posted later, Those who use the index as a key can't notice it.
I think this is also a problem.
Don't hold the posts, you will find them by using order:id_desc on the index.
Hidden post still can be found by search it using tags.

Limitation 10 child post it's for avoiding spam the site with unnecessary variation.
That time Dreista and his alt acc uploading 30+ child post (post #917435, #967527), but now we have solution for that.
Imo there is no reason for hiding them from index when using the hold function and unheld them separate from time to time. So there is no flooding and no need for hiding them.

So there is no flooding and no need for hiding them.
All you're doing (or wanting) is making people see similar images repeatedly over the days.
And this is a bad thing?
Why?
In my opinion, don't use hold function if you refuse to hide all child variation. Of course, this won't make people see similar images repeatedly as admin6 said.
In my opinion, based on the observation of the number of votes, I would guess that about half of the people miss the pictures of hidden posts. In other words, many people are missing it without searching it. if there were child thumbnails like Danbooru, such missing might not happen, but there are none here. So I only use Hidden post for low quality diffs.
If possible, I prefer variation limit to 5, 10 are too much and the result user held over 500 posts.
Yeah, I know, I'm such a bad girl.
Dunno what's the problem of holding such a number. All are getting relased within a month. And some of them will be not even shown to the index.

That's right.
I like seeing a large variety of different versions of artwork, it allows you to find ones that are more to your tastes. What I don't much enjoy is the same image repeatedly, but just at different resolutions (why not just the highest res?)...
To be clear, I'm just perfectly happy that people are uploading all the great artworks on this site. For which I must say: thank you.
I know this too late, but I have a question.
  • Uploaded by different users.
  • Does this also applied to pixiv, x(twitter), or anything that can be access to public? Because so far I've seen users hiding child post of free-to-view images and the users forgot the target of this rules.
  • ASMR cover is considered as paid rewards? The main content is ASMR itself, not the cover and sometimes the cover can be access to public.

Only the parent of the variations should shown in the index.

The idea is that we want to avoid overwhelming the index with numerous similar posts of different faces and semens, but we still want to allow those posts to exist.

*ASMR cover - is considered paid rewards if you have to pay to access the cover.
For example, you have to buy the game to access the bonus wallpapers, the bonus wallpapers are considered paid rewards.
Understood.
But I have a last question.
Should new child posts be hidden or not? I have already hidden the old posts.

Yes but things like that are easily overlooked. The new child posts should be hidden if they are part of the minor variation within the collection. Though depending on the human resources factor we have here, it may or may not be enforce too strictly.
An user request for an exemption regarding child variations:

Parent on pages 1–6
– Hide all its child variations.

Parent off page 6 (i.e. on page 7 or beyond)
– Begin showing child variations—but only the earliest one, and hide others if multiple variations.

Display sequence for children:
a. Show the earliest-uploaded child; hide every other.
b. While that child remains on pages 1–6, keep all later child variations hidden.
c. Once that visible child drops off page 6 (i.e. moves to page 7+), unhide the next-earliest child.
d. Repeat step c for each subsequent variation in upload order.

Maximum 10 child variations per parent like the original rule.

While I understand that this may lead to challenges in moderation, I would still want to know if anyone are interested in this initiative or if we should keeo our current approach for simplicity?

I would prefer the simple version we already have. I wouldn't want to constantly check which pages the sets are on.

This will give user or mods extra time to hide-unhide the post. I prefer the simple one we have now.
By the way, this is also applied for scan or digital version ?
Because scan and digital version may come from different store or scanners.
Scans and digital versions of books are fully exempted.
