Editing Forum Tags To Insult People

[Enkidoh]

If I remember rightly, one of the Community Team members explained about exactly how the thread tags work back on the Beta Forum (which was suffering from much the same problem of people adding insulting tags to harass or troll other members as is happening here) - basically anyone can add a tag to a thread, however every time a thread is tagged the forum software actually logs the username and IP address of the person adding the tag to the forum administration panel, meaning the Community Team/moderators can easily resolve such problems by seeing exactly who added what tag at what time to what thread. Once Beta testers were told this, things improved considerably on the Beta forum, at least as far as people using tags to troll each other was concerned.

Given the same forum software (VBulletin) is used here for the official FFXIV forum that SE used for the Beta test forum, I don't see any reason why things would be different here, although it would be great if one of the Community Team or a GM/moderator could clarify this.
