This is hilarious, since it is you who constantly insists on having the last word. I let people score points against my opinion all the time without responding. The reason so many threads you are in turn into brawls is that you don't have a good sense of when to stop fighting. I do.

I'll do that when you take the hint and "give it a rest" yourself. For every pointless statement you say, I'll respond, how about that?

We're not "dictating" anything? Do you even know the definition of the word? We're merely sharing a mutual view towards you and your activities on this forum. Isn't that what you want? You mentioned earlier that this forum _should_ be a like minded collective of individuals sharing a common interest. Well, you're our common interest in the absence of anything actually interesting. Because that is all this forum is now...

EDIT: "tag fags" - That one made me chuckle.

Goddamit, my timetravel agent seems to have ripped me off!

I din't get to see any dramas when I was there last week. I had to spend most of time listening to Aristotle yak on about something called syentifyk method or something...

Anyway, as for useful tags, apart from the infamous atroll_uk and adick_uk tags (which like to many other threads), most of the tags only link to at-most 2 threads. So I don't know... Does anybody even use tags?

I have your solution.

Make tagging available to people with high post-to thanks ratio. Whether this is fixed or not, it's debatable. Keep it at 1:2 ratio or so.

On the funny side, I vote we keep ratio to just one over abill's ratio.

And no, it's not free speech. If insulting is against rules it's against rules on all mediums. What next, I can insult people via text files attached?

Frankly, IMO, we need this fixed because it is a nuissance. "Don't read it" is not an answer, because, frankly, I could tell you to go jump, and add a disclamer.

Disclamers don't excuse any behavior, as we all know. I understand that moderation here is hard already, but let (some of us) help.

Several options:
* allow people who can tag to untag.
* restrict tagging to better users.
* restrict tags (but terrorists win)
* implement a vote down window, where people can disagree with tags. 3 votes de-tags. I will take some time to clean it up.

OTOH, a similar problem is haunting the thanks system and the rating system, to a lesser degree.

Oh, I must have miss understood, I thought the topic was "Tagging Trolls" ...

Like I've already mentioned though, you asked for a communal discussion between like minded people and we're giving it to you. Now, about your contributions to the community, I don't know if you've done anything at all. I'm mainly working on/with MeeGo now-a-days, but if you're going to be a complete lame *** and blame me for you not releasing anything. Well that's just absurd. If you've got something to give you shouldn't let people stop you giving it. I don't let you stop me from contributing, even if I'd rather not give my contributions to someone as arrogant and seemingly self-absorbed as you come across to me. But there are far more people on this forum than just you, and luckily your insanity is pretty much just localised to you.
