Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Just cleaned it a bit...

@abill: you don't mind flaming moderators and I don't mind give you infraction points, right? I have a weekend as everyone else and like to use my (rare) spare time with family... moderators are not reading forums 24/7.

I know it is not the friendly way to give infractions by random occurrence but I barely give infractions and when I do I consider it a warning (that's like a speeding ticket right?).

Keep it clean, have a nice day!

Re: The Tag Trolling issue
 

I still don't get why you/another mod deleted my last post.
Just tell me if it was the image that was offensive, because personally to me: its hilarious!

edit: Okay I will post the image here, and if you really do think its offensive let me know (here or pm) so I can edit it out, I just don't like the feeling of searching for deleted posts.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

My response to the comment on weirdness was removed (not sure why - there was nothing offensive in it), and my tally has dropped back from 108 to 113 posts to go before I can add irrelevant tags to irrelevant posts...

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

WOW this has not only been changed but cleaned right up, good work Chemist even if you do feel the need to single me out rather than the long standing members, oh well i need a year or 2 on here before i get them privledges.

Main thing is it is clean and i am very happy about that and once again THANKYOU Chemist your a good mod.

Wasn't me. But I would personally prefer we avoid embedding animated gifs...

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

just an idea...why don't just change the "minimum 300 posts to tag" to "minimum 300 THANKED to tag"? lol :D:D:D

users with 300 thanked or more, should display some intra/interpersonal quality rather than users with 300 posts...i guess....?

and also, users with 300 thanked should have contributed to the community as well..be it in terms of ideas, applications, facts, or any useful posts.. :)

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Nah - I fit that criteria and I still see tagtrolling as a fine sport and a great source of entertainment :)

Re: should d**kheads who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Fair enough. You seem like a smart bloke with a degree of humility in admitting that.

Don't be a fool though and align yourself with the likes of abill_uk, who posseses none of the above qualities. Why do you think so many tags spring up about him? Not just from one person either.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

I suggested this in one of the other of the three threads on this topic currently active (should be merged). But I'd suggest 150 'thanks' (as then I'd qualify). I also suggested a 'no thanks' option, with each 'no thanks' subtracting two from the 'thanked' total.

Re: should d**kheads who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Tag cloud, not searches. Seen here:
http://talk.maemo.org/tags.php
Most prominent tags by a longshot right now are 'android blows', 'bada rox' and 'just shoot me'.

Re: should d**kheads who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Easily some of the most spammed tags out there, in the sense that they're pointlessly added onto threads they don't even make sense in.

Re: should d**kheads who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

The truth always makes sense and cannot be said too often :cool:

Re: should d**kheads who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

But it doesn't matter. Tags are for searching. Pointless tags don't impact search.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Should people asking for removal of other people's "privileges" have their asking "privileges" removed?

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

I'll say it again - you don't need 300 posts! Either that, or I've got tagging permissions when I shouldn't have. I'll edit this message to add a screenshot of the tag 'nick.read tag' having been added.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Merged and cleaned the tag issue threads!

Instead of trolling here you people could do something useful and help people out who have more considerable things in question as tags!

Use the "Report This" button if you find offensive or useless tags, please.

We are less mods serving the need for more moderation and the noise does not help us do this job.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

I don't get that - I see no 'edit tags', and your tag does not show up either.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

I must be special then :D The tags were cleaned up by Chemist during the thread merges which included removing my example tag.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Well, I wouldn't go telling anybody, or else your unearned privilege could be revoked (although I am more skeptical about the 22 posts showing TBH)

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Is your only goal on here to be able to leave tags????

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Please stop feeding trolls...

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

I take your point. The comment from somebody who has made over 1600 posts, yet been thanked only a quarter the times of that number - As somebody who has posted less than 200, yet been thanked three quarter the times of that number - I will refrain from feeding the troll.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

This thread is a joke. Just wanted to share that with you, at the same time, I have nothing a against these kind of useless threads. Its fun and useless at the same time. I'm adding a new useless tag. Please read it!

And yeah. I hade nothing else to say. Just trying to reach 1000 post and get a bonus! There is a bonus, right?

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

He is talking about YOU.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Don't be silly - he was talking about you. I was making a point in a light hearted way - but you didn't get it, obviously. The reason?

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

hmmm, I get the feeling that chemist must be banging his head now, for inadvertantly feeding the trolls himself :D

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

If you ask me this whole forum is a joke from the top to the bottom.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

I think chemist did a pretty good job (even though my weirdness response got excised). Despite the pages of slanging match in the middle, it would be good if this could get looked at. Tagging is a privilege. Removing the ability to tag is not curtailing freedom of expression, it is removing a privilege - which is different. It would also be good if the person who bought this to light this time could be encouraged to stick with the project. Some of us do appreciate these efforts.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

/me bangs head too

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

I've been watching this thread for a few days now. It's funny how these pissing contests start.

@OP, while I can sympathize, this thread is no real way to get your point across. PM a Mod, or several, and have a discussion with them one on one about the issue.

@All others saying this is a useless thread, perhaps you're right. What's the point in posting something like this anyway? It's only flame bait, however, you have the option not to read it or even post, thus anything from there on is your own fault and just showing how immature/idiotic you are, if in fact you are helping the flames.

Yes, this tag issue has been around a long time and nothing's been done about it. Talk to the Mods/Admins privately, bug them lots if you FEEL you must and get on with your life. If you're against this, then why even comment? Keep doing what you all do and let your tags do your talking for you, even if us regular users don't know who it is.

-Quick Edit-
Small addition before I'm done with my post. I am kinda siding with the people that say "don't read the tags if you're offended". There's no point in getting mad about the tags being used, why? It's the internet. Those words can't physically harm you, they can't make you lose your job, your house or your personal belongings. If you take it too personal, you have a problem. I've learned this and am making great strides in improving that about myself. However, the point is that this forum is one of thousands, perhaps even millions out there for you to view, some that are even spam/flame-free (okay, that's a stretch). Move on with your life and ignore the tags. They won't do you any real harm, I swear. :)

Give a weapon to man and he will use it , the tags are the weapon need i say any more !.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

They are only a weapon because you are making them seem that way. Ever heard the phrase, "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me?" It really is true. If you don't want to accept that, then there's nothing anyone can do for you my friend.

So is a car. So is a pen.

Need I say more?

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Hang on a minute here i might like to remind you lot i did NOT start this thread ffs leave me out of it, i only commented on this fing thread.

Why is it not in off topic anyhow?.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

this thread plus the tags are just being used as a bashing tool on this forum.

Oh and a car and a pen is not in question here.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

Seems no one is respecting the rules on this forum when posting on this thread and i think it is a bit sad when moderators join in with the bashing !.

Re: should people who anonymously troll via tags have their tagging privileges revoked?
 

abill_uk I suggest you give it a rest before one of the main moderators gives you one.

Enough is enough.

And in general, this thread has outlived its usefulness.
