A wake up call from what? Its been this way sense day one.
I was doing a search and noticed this down at the bottom. Most of the tags don't make a lick of sense and if this isn't a wake up call I don't know what is.

A wake up call from what? Its been this way sense day one.
We are on a Broadband site..a hardware/software site.
I have no damn clue what "Violent Cat Sex" has to do with any of that. The tags can be removed,changed or edited by every Mod here just as easy as text in every single thread or post is made. I think its time they are policed in a manner to avoid crap like that.
I mean come on..if you want to argue that your likely the one that has fueled this fire and are protecting your "Violent Cat Sex" desires or dreams.
Prime Example: Since you've posted here is what is in the tags
Now I put in "Cloud and Tag" cause thats what we are talking about here.. but wth does child actors guild and tarzan make snuggie have to do with anything. Thats just stupid!child actors guild, cloud, tag, tarzan make snuggie
Ya I added those.
Tagging has been this way sense Philip put them in, its fun.
Violent cat sex wasnt mine, maybe brembo or mad doc, I tend to go more food random.
But your missing the point of me bringing this up.... I tell ya a few of those are offensive.. the "violent cat sex" one is a prime example of being offensive to maybe not me but many others that visit the site. I think its a major turn off to a broadband,software,hardware site. Its a simple solution and that's to mod the tags in each thread..they are located right at the bottom and mods/admins have access to delete them, edit them, or add their own if need be.
Coming from a staff perspective this was something we never really monitored. Ironically though after seeing some of the listed tags it did come to the staffs attention more. It's still something that is easy to miss, but we will be looking to monitor those a little more closely. Naturally using tags that actually have something to do with the topic allows for easier search results.
I said something about them once before several weeks ago but can't remember when or what thread I said it in.
I enjoy the site for its purpose... even you help some in the other sections so I think its time we monitored the tags..and not just the mods/admins I say we cause its all of us that make the site what it is...and I don't agree one bit with thinking its ok to put tags in like "violent cat sex" regardless what the topic is. There needs to be some sort of control and I'd hope I'm not the only one that thinks this either.
So if there was a news article about a guy who voilently assaulted a cat, it wouldn't be ok then?![]()
I can honestly say I don't recall to many Reported posts regarding tags. That said anything specific you can find would be appreciated. Once I have access to my home pc tomorrow (I am having Comcast put in tomorrow at my new place) I will be back up and running regarding reported posts.
I do believe there is a way to delete the current tag cloud to start over... cause obviously this is something we need now. I've contacted vB about having some way to track who puts what tags up on threads for a future update along with jaws suggestion a while back about being about to ignore quotes of others you ignore that others post up.
well its not big secret..at first they said take a look at .org for hacks on it..but I replied back about integrating it into a future upgrade vs adjusting code I have to keep up with when doing upgrades on templates.....I really hate that.
So far no other reply so they are either thinking about it or blew me off... *shrugs*
