    Editing Forum Tags To Insult People

    I made this topic at the start of the year and it DID receive a forum mod response.

    This is AGAINST the rules people, it falls under being problematic; DO NOT edit peoples forum tags to insult them thinking you can get away with it because you can't. You can still be reported for it.

    For those who find insulting tags added to their forum topics; simply mouse over the names of the insulting tags and write a report via the little triangle exclamation point under you original post and write their names in it with the topic that they are editing your tags to insult you.

    This is disgusting and low and I HOPE that they make a sticky this time that will remain at the top of this forum and all forums so people can think twice before they get their posting privileges taken away for good.

    Edit: You DO NOT have to be the original poster to report this type of behavior. What we were told on my post about this a while back is that you can report the main post but put something in it like "Tags are being edited by others to insult the player's opinions or statements." and the original poster will not be held accountable for it. This is simply to bring to the attention of Dev's so they can act on it.

    Edit #2: Tags are not meant for people to leave smart ass remarks and rude comments about the OP and his/her topic. They're meant to help you find topics via the search based on the tags that have been placed on them.

    Not sure why a Mod would of given a response for such FALSE information, here's a tip: Only the person who added tag can edit it, no one else what so ever. People add new tags to the existing one at no time do they edit what is already there.

    I believe he meant editing as in editing the tags section, by adding a tag. Seeing as the add/edit tags button is the same button.

    Agreed.

    I've seen intense hate speech in thread tags before and nothing can be done about it. That's just sad.

    I never even look at tags, so if someones insulted me their attempts have been futile so far!

    Indeed, disagreeing and arguing is one thing, it's open and honest, but adding insulting or false tags is cowardly and dishonest.

    I heartily agree that any such tags should be reported.

    Same here. I honestly didn't even remember that tags existed until reading the comments in this thread.....

    This is exactly what you're doing to my thread. You edited the tags to insult me by saying I've given false information when you failed to realize what I meant. Oh and you're also providing false information as I just removed your tag so yes they can be edited by being removed.

    vvvvvvv

    There's a locked thread on page 2 that has the most disgusting use of the tag edits made of so much crap that insults the OP by a tons of different people.. it took me a while just to get all the names down to report.
