Tag Suggestion Thread

Gardenia · Post by **Gardenia** » Sat Mar 29, 2008 1:55 am

As far as I see it, the mods are like the elders of the board. They've been given the positions by Anony himself because he believes they can get the job done. If they believe a tag wouldn't work they might voice it, but they aren't saying that nobody else cannot have a word in it. And as far as I've seen there is a logical explaination of why said tag would not work if indeed it didn't. The tagging team also has experience in the field because we tag and we have A LOT to tag so we've seen a lot of images and know that some tags are just kind of silly without the abundance of said tag, or perhaps it's too specific for it to be legit. But I do agree. I think it's nice for everyone to voice their opinion and in no way am I trying to discourage this. I just think that even with the mod or tagger opinion, everyone is still free to chip in. However, I haven't seen anyone say it wouldn't work without reason.

Tsukiko, I think you're unfairly putting responsability of certain tag suggestions not getting reactions or opinions by other shuushuu members with the moderators. I any shuushuu member has an opnion about a certain tag suggestion and they don't voice it, it's their own responsability and fault, not that of the moderators.

Could I suggest a "hair band" tag? I've passed by lots of images with characters wearing hair bands.

Hmmm, I think hairbands are different enough from hair ribbons to warrant a separate tag. Also, the ribbon tag applies to non-hair ribbons so that makes this even more legitimate, I think.

I previously tagged hairbands as ribbons, but I reckon a hair band tag is a good idea since it's more accurate and correct.

I think Gardenia has hit on the reason why people may feel less compelled to speak up after a mod has made his or her opinion heard. As with any forum I've been on, the mods and other members of authority have not only a tangible power (like deleting posts, et al), but there seems to be an intangible influence as well. That is, the feeling that "It came from a mod, one of Anony's proxies, so that must be the way he feels, so why bother?"

Let me follow that up by saying I agree with Smithy's sentiment that it's on the user if they remain silent, and the mods here have been absolutely wonderful about accepting input even if they don't agree with the person's opinion (you've been the best about it, in fact), but the simple truth is that it's the kinda feeling that's been instilled in many users throughout the interwebs.

I can fathom that but then it's still that person/member who's not outspoken or assertive enough to voice his/her opinion (in a correct and polite manner) his/her own responsability.
Everyone is free to voice his/her opinions and suggestions, as long as it's done in a correct, polite and respectful manner, the same goes for replies (be it by members or moderators).

While there's some truth to your post, you have to consider the negative effects of adding a tag for everything under the sun. If we keep it up then we're just going to become another Danbooru.

I don't see the reasoning for your recent opposition to creating new tags... Well, you're welcome to your opinion, but we're moving forward. This is how tags are to be treated. If there is a unique theme apparent across multiple images, then it will get a tag. That is how I intended for the tag system to work from the beginning and that is how it will be.

How about a cardigan tag? (Like for characters such as Kyonko and Yuki?)
Though that might spawn too many other cloth tags...

Ok... well, I had to look that up for an exact definition >_<
Maybe it's just me though XD

A cardigan is a type of sweater/jumper (commonwealth english) that ties, buttons or zips down the front

Or so says wikipedia XD

I guess cardigan would be too obscure then, sorry.

suggestion~

Armor. True that we have a "warrior" tag, but that seems to encompass "any cute tough looking girl carrying a weapon of some sort" I think "armor" is prominent enough for consideration.
