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

[Krotoan]

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

And where did I say remove either? I just don't think it's a problem worth mentioning. The tag system is mostly for searching. I'd be confident guessing that most of us here don't even look at them for the most part.

on that same note the other poster you quoted didn't say remove either.


Maybe .. read OUR posts?

I did. I can't quite work out what you're trying to accomplish other than seemingly being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.

I'm not particularly interested in an inane back and forth discussion on the subject, though. My original post makes it clear that I'm asking for moderators to take note of a method some posters are using to evade the forum's code of conduct and intervene in cases where they deem it a necessity.

It doesn't make for productive discussion. The tag system itself is perfectly fine. People exploiting it for targeted harassment, however...well, I daresay any reasonable individual can make a link between such an action and the terms of service and realise that it isn't appropriate.

Let me repeat:
I just don't think it's a problem worth mentioning. Your OP reads as wailing and flailing over inconsequential slights.

Ok .. then maybe don't respond with inane back and forth about people not reading what you said. Cause I did.. and I just said what I saw.

"targeted harassment" = "people putting mean tags on all the posts they don't like"

This is pretty far to stretch into any sort of harassment. It doesn't mask your posts. it doesn't degrade them in any way. You can still tag them with relevant tags for easy searching. People aren't reviewing your posts based on the tags.


If the tags actually contain slurs or crude language then that's a different issue entirely. As the swedes would say "you're making a chicken out of a feather". People are tagging stuff in ways you don't like and you're weaving a "targeted harassment" story.

Doesn't like the tags so it's a problem you see. And inferring that people didn't read his OP is insulting. Relative to reporting them just report the OP and in the comments section report the issue you have with a particular tag.
