Guest idol_wild Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Fair enough, it's a shame, but people were warned. I noticed only yesterday that allegations about a certain local DJ that had already been vetoed on another thread were raised again in tag form so you can't really blame the mods on this one.I agree with that particular one. And that's why I can understand it to an extent.I still find the website distinctly less amusing and appealing than it was as a result. To punish us all for a small minority of individuals who perhaps took things too far is a shame. Hopefully there can be a more direct way of policing it with the ability of targeting the individuals responsible for the out of order tagging.

The Milner Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 yeah situations like that definately would need to be monitered but surely it wouldnt be that much extra work, its not like this place is like it was a few years back where any thread involving benplaywithmyweapon, stripey or even me at times got out of hand and had to be heavily moderated.

scottyboy Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I agree with removing the anonymity of the tags, not least because some of them were great and deserving of rep 8-) Otherwise I agree with removing them, many were amusing but it got tiresome reading "X is a cunt" (and it wasn't just nefarious c) at the bottom of every thread.

But I think the Gods should maybe possess the ability to see who tagged what, should they not already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'll agree with removing them and admit to having made one or two "choice" ones myself but they were largely used by a select few people who can't say certain things to peoples faces and like to think they've gained some sort of one-up-manship over other people. Some of them were funny as shit, others downright unnecessary. They didn't particularly bother me at all as i can give as good as i get.

neepheid Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I never used them, they added little to the experience except for the occasional rolling of eyes due to bad puns and therefore I don't miss them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Nah, i'm not a nasty person so i wouldn't be able to let myself do that maybe he doesnt like you because his thumb is bigger than yours?OR because he has been trying for years to be "scene" and is trying to round up some fans with his "controversial" posts.on a completely unrelated note, i was listen to the shield ep last night, its amazing i had forgot how good you guys were.

Neil Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 The Tags feature in vBulletin is, in my opinion, a little immature at the moment. Unfortunately, there is no way that individual tags can be manually moderated and so all we can do as staff is delete the dodgy tags when we spot them (as people can't report on tags either). But even then we can't see who added the tag in the first place in order to punish them.I found many of the tags to be amusing as well, but at the end of the day that is not why this feature exists. The tags are meant to enhance people's ability to search for specific topics covered in threads and so the tags should only ever contain words or phrases that describe the topic(s) discussed in the thread in question. Very few tags added by people were for this purpose, although we didn't really explain this when they were first switched on admittedly.
