[Suggestion] Removing unwanted Tags?

[TigerClaw]

I noticed on many thread, Tag that don't really belong and don't represent the topic of the thread.

If I can make one suggestion, is for the thread starter to have the ability to remove tags that were created by other members, or set it so that only the thread starter can add tags only.

I been noticing this feature getting a lot of abuse around lately.

I think something needs to be done about it, too.

Indeed, this feature is being abused a whole lot, and the person who created the threads originally cannot remove them, so they need to fix it so that the person can remove those unnecessary tags.

Sorry, I'm not sure what happened. I googled "Paul Rudd eats coleslaw" and ended up here somehow..

See, that is an example on why Tags aren't necessary any more, people will just put random things that make no sense for the topic, they are just abusing it to no end.

It's one of the most annoying things and I know the kids are the ones doing it.

Nah, it's not. The repeat offenders are mostly open about their doing it. I myself have made 2-3 in jest but not for some time now, & they weren't any of the more awful ones.

So you admit to abusing this system, this is something the admins will have to look at.

The admins can tell who is responsible for each & every tag that is created, so yeah, I have no reason not to. & again, if you read the posts in the most recent thread this sort of thing was addressed in, the one in which you were mentioned, you'd see who the main two are (not me, I have not mocked you in tags at any point as far as I know). They straight up said it was them.

At any rate, I myself would never put anything in I felt was crossing the line, given the mods know who did what. I haven't seen many that did take it too far, but it's a subjective matter. If it's a system that they feel isn't being properly used, they can either limit it to the OP, or remove it altogether. It's not like people make much use of it anyway.

Most of the things tagged gay have nothing to do with gay. Peanut is tagged in so many vg topics that it's mindboggling... it's like someone is doing it just so they know what topics to go berate him in or something. I skimmed a few where he just made one post and nothing else about the topic has anything to do with him.

There's probably more than just these instances where it's less of a friendly ribbing and more out-and-out being a dick.

Can mods tell who adds a particular tag? cause some of them really stray into the area of trolling when they target specific posters.

True, there are some cases that go beyond being humorous jabs & are just outright immature (like "gay") or creepy/hateful.

What's with the "sadface" one? I noticed it's only in 3 threads, two of which made by you.

I think the tag-you're-it one is quite amusing. I also made it.

Yeah. I am getting worried about some of the insult tags. They are cruel.

The mods are pretty good at dealing with those, from what I've seen.

Still, there are some pretty terrible tags left, such as "EatMyAssCubed" and "ShutUpTigerClaw".

I don't understand why some people create tags for the sole purpose of insulting someone.
It's unnecessary.

[TigerClaw]

which is why I suggested that only the person who created the thread, should be allowed to add tags or edit other people's tags, if they are deemed unnecessary.

If I catch some particularly nasty tags, I usually remove them. There's only a few people that really abuse the tags, they just get around a Lot.

Well if you go to certain threads on the Platinum Dunes section, you will find a couple of tags in them that are inappropriate.

That was to indicate topics I felt were sad.

I didn't add the one here, however
