Advanced Save Tagging

    I have a few suggestions for save tags here, I am going straight to the point.
    My reason: I am fed up with the tag "brotherhood" showing up on my saves, I am not in the brotherhood, nor do I want to be. Apparently the BoS just tags the front page saves in order to make their group feel decent.
    My suggestions:
    1. Only mods and save creators may change, add, or remove tags.
    This should prevent false tagging.
    If 1) cannot be implemented,
    A. If a tag gets enough negative votes by the community, it shall be removed.
    Allow bad tags to be removed.
    B. If a user from the community adds a tag, and not a moderator or creator, then the tag will not be found in a search unless it has at least 5 positive votes.
    This should be good to prevent false tags, as well, by needing the community to actually support tags so there isnt any fake tags.
    Also:
    I would not like to see "BoS" or "brotherhood" tags on my saves anymore. It is completely annoying and childish to join me to a group I do not wish to be in.

    I absolutely love this idea. It would definitely prevent false tagging and those inappropriate tags and the tag "waffles" (i get that one a lot).

    I completely agree, i am also debating with myself if profanity should or should not be blocked in tags and comments.

    I agree as well though the creator should be able to tag their own saves.

    Merbo:

    1. ...Only mods and save creators may change, add, or remove tags...



    That was actually my idea and I discussed it in the IRC so I agree.

    I've been in the IRC, checked my logs, yeah you did. But I had been trying to think of other things to this topic as well.

    I like the idea. This would be a good thing to implement.

    Well, the problem is because the 80% (I guessed) of the TPT commmunity that won't use the website don't know what to do with the tags so...yeah.
