Useless tags...

    When you open save browser ("Find & open a simulation"), and you can see the frontpage, there is a list with popular tags.

    Three of them have only 3 letters ("art", "gun", "fun"), and these are completely useless because you can't enter tags with less than 3 letters.

    When you click these tags you get only to the second page like clicking on NEXT.

    The only reason I keep them is because they used to work and I feel bad deleting hundreds of tags at once ...

    although I probably should delete them, but then something like the tag "brotherhood" will come back too. hmm

    Can't you edit the most popular tags by yourself?

    no, because that implies that they aren't actually the most popular tags and are just mod picked ...

    I can ban the tag from existence though to remove one.

    Mabye you could replace it with something as equaly as popular such as now people know the tag 'art' doesn't work they have begun to tag things 'deco' and so on. It would at least fill it in with usefull tags.

     

    EDIT: BTW jacob1 why cant we tags things with three letters anyway? It seems pointless as there are many useful tags with three letters in them.

    Is it possible for you to make these an exception case that is allowed?

    They are old tags that used to be popular but have now been erased. So, there are now holes left. 

    1)if you keep this crap up, the server may turn into HAL O_O

    2)...why does every post have a vote?

    Maybe three letter tags could just be allowed? if not then simply thumb up a thesaurus and look up a longer word like artwork (art) weapon (gun) ludicrum (latin for fun :). In my oppinion things that don't work ought to be removed or made to work.
