[Request] Please do something about the abuse of the tag system for forum threads!

[Theodric]

Oh the evil tags. Really? No the tags are just fine. If you have a problem with any of them report them.

... tag abuse? Really? Do you really think people are looking at tags before even the first post? Considering you CAN see who put the tags it's very easy to disregard spammed "attacks" isn't it?

I'm genuinely curious, did you actually read my post? Nowhere did I say that the tag system should be removed.

In fact, I said this:

I'm reluctant to suggest that the system should be removed altogether, since I have always considered such actions to be worthy of a last resort. Yet I do think some manner of action should be taken where abuse is being found.

I'm not sure what's controversial about asking the moderators to intervene in cases of clear abuse and at present there's no easy way to report inappropriate tags. Especially in cases where the person adding the tags isn't even present in the thread itself.
