    On other forums I frequent, there are certain "privileges" that are not accessible to new members. For example, one forum requires you to have a certain amount of posts before being allowed to PM. Perhaps placing a cap on the tag function at say, 500 posts or so may curb the BS. I think it's safe to say that those that are using the tag feature as it was intended have been here awhile, while the shitbirds screwing things up are new. Maybe not...

    Then again, if the capability to ID those who are abusing the feature has been worked out it may be a moot point.

    No problem with that...Not over the line here. Some things are off limits on any respectable board. You being a dad prolly know what I am getting at.

    No doubt - the schmuck that added the tag was looking to stir up crap. Likely because he/she was all butt hurt over being taken to task for doing something foolish (e.g trying to seek guidance on avoiding being age verified while buying cigars online or using this community to hawk an uber rare $16k dragon humidor instead of using a place that is designed to sell such an item). Quite frankly - there should be no doubt that they exposed themselves in their first posts as being disinterested in providing anything useful to this community. It should be no surprise to anyone they left their legacy in the thread tags.

    Again, type "relentless tool" and you'll see your quote-sake's posts come up!

    I find the tags very useful, and may start using them even more now.

    After years of using Vbulletin, I never noticed tags until about six months ago and until reading this topic had no idea they could be a problem. Now I have to go back to another site and see if there's a problem there. We got the blog module at that other site and it was barely used until the spammers spotted it and started filling it up with spam and blogs with spam imbedded. I ended up turning off the blog module a few weeks ago because it was such a pain to delete/edit and no one seems to have noticed that it is gone.
