How did tags become a thing for every thread anyway? I don't recall that always being the case. Tags were very rarely used before and they were never used as a way to mock other users. I think it was around 2013 or 2014 when someone made tags such as
cybercubed thinks deep and
cybercubed acts prejudiced... which at first were pretty funny, I gotta say. And then, for a while, there wer no new tags like that, and then, suddenly a lot of new tags for CyberCubed started popping up all over the place again. And also tags such as
cuck and whatever else. It became ridiculous.
I dunno who makes them, but I recall Machias telling ToTheNines and Commander42 to stop doing tags in one thread.
Btw, I only see one tag in that Star Wars thread you've linked, Cubed. I guess the mods removed them?

On one hand, you got a bunch of tags to refer to when looking for specific threads. It makes the process a bit easier of finding older threads for a kick or two. Additionally, there are some genuinely funny ones too. However, I do know humor is extremely subjective; I may find some funny, but others will not.
As for the negatives, I think the introduction of "cuck" and any member wars have caused the tags to be overused. Seriously, I've seen so many tags relating to the former that it's boring. Also, this might be me, but some of the tags are just, well, cruel. Case in point was a thread about the late Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, in which I saw a tag of "It should've been Cube." Tags like that are distasteful, hold no bearing on the topic (Cube wasn't in that thread to my knowledge), and just stupid.
I'm not saying to kill all the tags, but at the least, get rid of anything relating to cuck and the tags that go too far.

WOW someone actually wished death upon CyberCubed?! That's messed up, man.
