You don't have enough posts to do it. Tagging only becomes enabled when you reach 300 posts.

and that folks is the power of tags.

goodbye.

Personally, I think the tags should be done away with altogether. For most of the time I've been here (Since 2008), I didn't even LOOK at them, didn't even NOTICE them until very recently (like maybe the past year). heh They're very pointless.

More importantly, if all it takes is a few mean words in tags to hurt your ego and make you quit a project, it makes me wonder whether you're looking for a convenient way to make it look like quitting wasn't your own intention. It makes one ponder whether you're either genuinely thin-skinned or else fickle and looking for ANY excuse to make it look like it was someone else's fault.

I'm sure there'll be better people around who'll be interested in scratching their itch and solving things long after you're gone. They might even have a genuine interest in it and give the doubters and the haters who post these cynical tags less reason to look like they might have a point.

In any case, as much as I can appreciate criticism and appraisal either way, I can agree that those tags in the flash thread were unnecessary and demoralizing--but I'd either rather let them go ahead and post such things (as long as they're not personal attacks) or else get rid of the tags altogether. (I'd be in favor of the latter option, myself)

Umm, I've always been able to edit tags even though I have a pathetic^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H restrained post count of 18 including this one. If anyone is really offended by tags that do not necessarily breach the rules, or just think they're useless, then write a GreaseMonkey/Userscript that hides them for you.

Problem is some of the tagging are personal attacks and guess what... thay are there to be read always and not one single moderator deals with them.

This forum has duel standards and the rules only count when it suites them.

Take a look at this thread that is full of attacking tags and you will see just how much rules count on this forum !.
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...305#post980305

I am afraid to say it is them verses us on this forum and as much as i want to respect moderators i cannot because they do not implement the rules, only when it makes them look good.

Many many posts on here are attacking and nothing is done, WHAT RULES ?????.

WHO are you reffering to ?.

For your information, every problem that is discussed about on here is a contribution as it highlights problem to be looked in to.

Just because not everyone is a programmer on this forum does not mean they do not contribute.
