...but it's not really needed...

This makes it a bad idea.

This makes it a bad idea.

Being recognized as a bad idea makes it unnecessary (rather, makes it a non-option). However, being an unnecessary idea (at the moment at the very least) does not make it a bad one.

Wait, what?

If it's not necessary then how can it possibly be a good idea?

Not necessary just means what it means, not necessary. It's not a negative, it's just something that won't give that much help, or the help it would give would not make that big of an impact. It doesn't hurt or make the galleries suck to have a 3D category, but it's just such a small category that it wouldn't help that much. You could say there should be a guro category, official art category, or a loli category (yeah yeah I know I'm just making an example), and any of those could make things easier to find, but it wouldn't be all that great because the tagging system takes care of all that. Despite that, it's not a bad thing to suggest new ideas - shows there are members who give a damn about the site and want to suggest things that keep it better than all the others.

Unneeded changes increase the workload on the site's admin, and he already has more than enough work to do on useful changes.

Are new ideas good? Yes, but only if they're actually useful.

Derp.

That is consequence of enacting an idea regardless of whether it is "good" or "bad" or "necessary". Useful or not it still increases the workload, albeit usually temporarily. I guess the best way to put it is that the suggestions made by Red are currently unnecessary. Does that make them a bad idea? No, with the assumption that eventually new categories may need to be made, and you can't particularly tell what will be the categorization for new categories until it becomes excessive/necessary to do so.

At this point, we're arguing semantics and for the sake of arguing, we should probably stop and either let the topic die, or let Tenboro shoot the idea down in favor of just leaving things the way they are, and then let the topic die.

I believe I already shot it down, repeatedly.

That's a really good idea ^^

As is this.
