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

[Krotoan]

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

"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.
