Questional Thread Tags

Some things are just not appropriate, no matter where you are.

Ken, can you as a moderator delete them? I don't know who looks at them or what they accomplish or even what the meaning of a "tag" is, sounds pretty stupid and childish to me. I just as soon remove the ability to "tag" threads altogether, reminds me too much of facespace and titter both of which I despise.

It's a nice feature to relevantly tag something and using search you can bring it up without searching the whole forum which often returns hundreds of results. It "guesses" at what you're trying to type too, like "TOTY 2011."

I can and did delete them...Got a pm hex's way to see if there is a way to monitor who posts them. The ones I deleted would at least call for suspension if not banishment. Some things you just can't allow.

Well then that should be put in the rules somewhere because I don't see any at the moment.

I caught the tag and let a few people know but I think it was the guy in the thread that was getting his chops busted that did it. Bw your slacking on reading the board! smiles

I saw some tags on one of those threads, but I'm not sure I saw what you saw. There was no doubt the tags I saw were childish, but not rising to the level of what I would consider "criminal". I do believe the tags should be moderated if they rise to the level of placing the forum at risk - though I also believe we have to be very careful about censoring to the point we are stifling discussion.

Not to say that all new members are strange, but for some odd reason there has been a large influx of strange new members.
