There's one for no breast, but that both sounds a little insulting, and I'm not sure even really applies that well to a pic like this that's currently tagged (same issue with "flat chest"). It might be better to just make one for "natural chest" and merge that in, unless anyone has another suggestion. The only potential issue would be women with natural large breasts, but in the context of this site I think the implication of "natural chest" is a pretty lean chest due to low bodyfat percentage in the vast majority of pics, especially when someone is going out of their way to tag it.
Could "pure pecs" or "real pecs" work? Simple, complimentary?
Yeah you're basically right, there are two ways images can get on the waitlist:
If they are direct-uploaded by someone who's gone over 5 uploads per day, in which case they are visible immediately, just not on the front page until they come off the waitlist
If they are in the queue and then approved, in which case they always go on the waitlist but aren't visible at all until they come off of it, because technically they are still in the queue until then.
I think the second one of these is probably more common but I haven't checked.
I've been meaning to make the second case more similar to the first (so queue approvals would be posted to the site and on the waitlist, so no longer in the queue) but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
Yes, I misread that. I was reading 2367945, where the 6 is a 9. Thanks for being honest and pointing that out.
The image queue still exists, so it's possible this image was queued when you checked. This is a recurring issue, especially with that particular uploader. Also, it's possible the image wasn't named yet when you had checked.
I have found that some images on the waitlist are hidden and others can be found, so I think that was what happened. But I don't have a clue why there's a distinction between these two types of images on the waitlist. I'll open a new thread, because it's not really relevant here.
What do we have for "natural chests", no implants?

I think people have been mostly using the body hair tag for that, but the whole point of the new system is that you can just start tagging pics you think are suitable as "hairy arms" or "arm hair", and see if it catches on.
There's a chance it'll get merged into another tag later, but you'd still be able to see the pics under the new tag if so, as long as it wasn't deleted entirely.
Just a note on this, I'm planning to merge the vellus hair tag into body hair, since the way they're being used currently is functionally identical for the most part. There were a handful of pics that only seemed to be tagged with "body hair" for the sake of armpit hair, but those have been switched over to the "hairy armpit" tag ("body hair" was left if it also applied).
And yes, those tags are all definitely staying as login-only, ya weirdos :D
Thanks for being on top of this, guys. Loving the new system. Just noticed a few recently that should be merged: "forearms veins" into "forearm veins", and "tights" and "yoga pants" with "leggings". And there are several "chest" tags now - should those just be merged into the equivalent "pec" tags?
I merged "forearms veins".
"tights" was another one that had no consistency in its use. Some of the images weren't of women wearing leggings, but stockings. So I changed those one by one and merged the rest. I fully merged "yoga pants" into "leggings".
"chest" was deleted since... everyone in the world has a chest. That's like making a tag called "skin".
The "strength" tag only had a few images, but there was no consistency in its use so I went through each one and retagged or deleted where appropriate. Some were merely videos of women doing pullups. While yes you have to be fairly strong to do pullups, with that logic an overwhelming majority of the women on this site would be eligible for the "strength" tag (as it was being used). Usage like that is what destroys the value of a tag.
The other challenge is that it is not always clear how a tag is best used. Myself, I would rather have tags where they describe something visible in the photo and not open to interpretation. One example for this is “thong” where it was being used on photos where only the front is visible.
I have been tagging known tall people (5'10"+) as 'tall', even if it's not necessarily visible in the photo.
I would prefer to keep the use of muscle groups and body parts as uniform as possible. The old set of tags had a dozen of those, let's try to stick to those, unless the results are wrong or ridiculous. So when combining words, always use 'veins', not 'vein'. Use 'delts/shoulders' not 'delt' or 'shoulders'. So here are some suggestions - and please keep in mind English is my second language, so I'm not sure if everything will sound good to a native speaker.

The same for (biceps/glute/calf) bounce and (pec) bouncing. I don't mind which one, but pick one of those and stick to that one.
While it's mostly been forgotten, I think at the time this was the most popular upload of all time:
She had a few other high-scoring ones as well around that time, and had an account here as well, which probably contributed to the popularity of her pics. Not long after that, she disappeared.
Edit: Whoops, cgsweat also posted this same pic upthread. At least I did provide some additional context.
Mainly because this picture went viral and was everywhere.
+3 first image I remember seeing that and kristies stuff were on the front page often. Now I wonder what she’s up to these days.. probably a Mormon mommy influencer, Bodybuilding was def her “wild college days”. 😆

Props and thanks for allowing a proper "transformation" tag. It's a game-changer (no pun)!
What do we have for "natural chests", no implants?
easily its this, when i first saw this when it went viral years ago i saw it as motivation to start lifting. nothing comes close to its level imho!
I merged "forearms veins".
"tights" was another one that had no consistency in its use. Some of the images weren't of women wearing leggings, but stockings. So I changed those one by one and merged the rest. I fully merged "yoga pants" into "leggings".
"chest" was deleted since... everyone in the world has a chest. That's like making a tag called "skin".
I merged "flexible".
The "strength" tag only had a few images, but there was no consistency in its use so I went through each one and retagged or deleted where appropriate. Some were merely videos of women doing pullups. While yes you have to be fairly strong to do pullups, with that logic an overwhelming majority of the women on this site would be eligible for the "strength" tag (as it was being used). Usage like that is what destroys the value of a tag.
I think about unusual feats of strength and/or control, like this one
I have been tagging known tall people (5'10"+) as 'tall', even if it's not necessarily visible in the photo.

It is because the uploader is the same person and she interacts with people in the comments. So it's an outlier and you cannot use it as an example.
This page doesn't matter in any case, that's just a screenshot of a thumbnail. We're talking about the original full image.
Well, this is far and away the most commented photo on GWM, although I am not quite sure why. ;)

^ Pretty hard to make the case that a random upload with only about 200 points that I've never seen before is the "most recognizable or iconic"...
"it's black, you can't see anything there...." I enlarged this page several times on my desktop iMac. Definitely NOT black in there.
+3 first image I remember seeing that and kristies stuff were on the front page often. Now I wonder what she’s up to these days.. probably a Mormon mommy influencer, Bodybuilding was def her “wild college days”. 😆
Edit: glad to be wrong she still lifts 💪
This was the first picture I saved on the site.
