Conserning the tags. This from a discussion with our tech admin:
No guys - to be useful the tags must be respected as a serious tool. Now perhaps once the tag cloud has a few thousand entries a humorous tag won't create enough of a dent, but for now they show up on the tag cloud of the front page and that doesn't work too well. I don't like "your mamma" being listed as a tag on ENWorld's front page - and I'll take a guess that neither does Russ or Kevin.

You actually have a point there. The Hive can work as it does precisely because it keeps its peculiar behaviors localized to the specific threads. Nonsense tags on Hive threads would be pushing it out into the rest of the site.

While we haven't set a policy on it or the like, I'm pretty sure we don't want to have lots of nonsense tags about. Tag systems work when the tags are useful and relevant. It is a tool for the users. Nonsense in the system does not help people find things. So, please don't use the tag system for jokes, okay?
 




Besides, I think Morris put an ultimatum on the tags, use the silly ones enough and you might end up with a suspension.

Um, yeah.
