I think tags are an excellent feature.

What is the point in tags?

It allows us to make fun of people anonymously

Evidently very important then.

But what is the real reason for them? I never look at them unless someone points them out and I haven't a clue what they're for.

I think it might be for the search engine.

Oh. totally.

People are calling me a "wanker" in the tags of various threads. Is this considered in line with the Terms of Service?

It could be considered harassment. I have not been following tag abuse but now that it is an issue I will take a look at it. I have cleaned up some tags, you can report others if there are any other specific problem tags.

I think it's ridiculous that Theo can post lies about people for years, myself for at least 2 years, repeating things that other people made up FOUR YEARS AGO, and then complain about tags.

I get tags "Dave is a mega asshole" and similar, and I don't care. Tags are what they are, and anyone that is going to get their panties in a wad about some "25 letters or less" comment is a whining sack.

Time tells. I don't like people writing things about me, but I am who I am, and people learn to love me, hate me, or ignore me. I think that Theo's problem is that things have shifted a little and he has no support from anyone. No one takes him seriously, and he's no longer effective as a troll because most people have learned to ignore him. I don't dislike Theo personally because I don't know him, but I certainly can't respect him when he antagonizes people for years and then whines when he gets it back.

I didn't write "Theo is a wanker" but I certainly agree with the sentiment expressed, and I think it's only because it's true that he is upset.

my tag on Helen Bach's thread was deleted. which I think is lame considering the point of that thread was to troll another user, plus I thought my tag was clever. whatevz

oh and you're right about Theo cuz you know he's the one who wrote all those stupid tags on Buzzy's threads

 

[the judge]

they're totally useless, but fun to read at times.

 

[the judge]

I believe that it says "you have a lot to learn", but I haven't actually verified that.

edit: Here's the word-by-word translation.

excuse me, how do you do it? do you have each other's passwords?

 

[Kewpie]

hmmmm

judge, do you know how to use screen shot?

 

[the judge]

Re: hmmmm

yeah but they posted it in french! some editing software maybe?

 

[Dave]

it's a neat trick isn't it? It is done using a firefox extension.

Re: hmmmm

My post was in French. Dave translated it. Nothing mysterious about that.

I'm pretty sure that we don't have each other's passwords.
