I frequent a political board that has a tag system and the humorous tags run rampant on it. And political boards can get erupt into flame fests at the drop of a hat.

But they have no problems with allowing people to place funny tags or snarky ones also.

Why is it such a concern here?

Go away, dont quote me, Im really not happy with you atm.



So There!!

It helps to gather up threads that needs to be cleaned up. I thought that was self explained?

So you REALLY think it's fun to see "Dextrar suck balls" in the tags? And as far as I understand the tag system is not intended for "funny annonymous comments". It's not a comment feature. I am frequenting other boards too just like you, where they have the tag system also. And there they let a selected group of people do the taging. Like I suggested, senior members or similar.


Oh and one more thing to all them who think they are clever to leave insulting annonymous messages through the tag system.. Guess what I just found out? The board admin can see exactly who created the tags. Owned.

You have my permission to post whatever you want about me and balls on tags. I mean how do you know I don't like such?

If the tag system ruffles your feathers you could always not look at em or ignore the ones you don't like.

Myself I think they are good for a giggle and my feelings is people don't giggle enough during the day and we should do everything we can to make people giggle more!

BTW I added BeerLUV in the tags for Lykke!

I am giving up trying to explain what the tags really are for. Obviously you have them confused with a "comment" feature.

well, to some beer ARE important

sorry e-lite, I'm ruining your thread.. it's just .. weather is so summer'ish and sunny, you get hot and warm - and nothing is nicer on a warm sunny day than a cold beer ..and lots of love to go with it Life is simple, yet so complex and who cares about what people write in the tags anyway as long as it gives a smile and of course, sometimes, is usefull (never used it myself, but who knows, that day might still come ...)


(here we go again pft... I promise you this is my LAST post in this thread and I DO agree that writing things like cucumber and other vegetables is just plain pervert'ish! byebye now )

Not confused at all if you research the tags HaikEU HaikEU Society Haiku and Dancing Monkeys you will see. I use those myself.

I know what they are for. But some folks also get a kick out of humorous tags.

Question: If people post humorous tags as well as useful tags does the humorous ones cause the useful ones not to work?

here is how i see it.

nonsense threads will hae nonsense tags. but must of those tages will be only used that one time and in the long run will be useless.

real useful tags attached to real useful threads will be bigger in the tag cloud and actually relevant.

i think the current system is JUST fine.

look at the thread you used as an example. it is a bullshit thread, who gives a shit about the tags? seriously. most of the tags i see are mostly useful with a smattering of uselessness, but not enough to comment or make a thread about it.
