Hi everyone! It looks like we've hit 1000 tags for quite some time already. Last time we hit 1000 tags, I went through all the tags and deleted typos and consolidated tags, but it won't help too much this time since there aren't as many such tags that need to be combined this time, so we'd hit 1000 tags right away again.

So the question is, should we drop tagging by decks? We seem to have too many decks to do that.

Also, how useful do you find tagging by player? I find it useful myself when I'm looking for my own posts, but recently LJ has implemented a new feature where you can search for posts by user through the toolbar, so that makes it so that tagging by player is not completely necessary unless people prefer tags to searching through the toolbar.

Let me know your preferences and what you'd like to see for tags.


Meanwhile, I'm looking for 3 Cain cards for Pot of Gold if anyone can help me out! I have a big trading pile, and lots of crayons to spare too.

Card Post!

One thing would be good to change "new release slots" to just slots, since that's what everyone use anyways it seems.

But I do agree that tagging decks is a bit too much. I would prefer to keep the player tags however. Just gotten too used to it, and sometimes I also just edit the url to get to another player's posts. ^^

I don't think it's possible to merge tags other than doing it manually, which is too bad...

I'll probably remove deck tags so that there'll be room for new players to add a tag for themselves then.

Oh, I was unclear. I should've said I was kind of referring to the sidebar with common tags we use for various matters:

Tags
Tag your posts with:

Player: Your Name
names of any decks you're looking for

Here are some other tags to consider:

new release slots - For coordinating slot exchanges for new decks
pot of gold - If you are looking for Pot of Gold cards
deck donations - for coordinating deck donations
crayons - for facilitating crayon trades
cool things - any player started, unofficial endeavors

Ah, I see. Hm, it does look like many people just dropped the "new release" part. I guess slots is more intuitive.

I haven't use tags for decks recently - maybe I've used them the first time I joined when I wasn't collecting much....I don't check them either. I would mind if they were dropped, especially since we get new decks all the time.

I'd like to keep the player tags too. I find them useful when I want to double check for slots and such c:

I'll probably get rid of deck tags to make room for new players to add tags for themselves unless someone comes up with a better solution. :3;; Thanks for the input!

Need one of these? I have one of these.
I'll be by with it later if you do indeed need it.


And I think we should do away with specific deck name tagging. I've never found a use for it. Player tags, however, are quite useful.

[lucathia]

Yes, I need one of those. :D

I deleted a few deck tags to make room for player names, and if it seems that most people would not miss the deck tags, I'm going to delete all of them sometime next week.

Awesome. You're the best, Lucathia. 8D

Agreed, I do tag my posts by deck but I'm kind of wondering if there's a purpose for it. >: I've never actually used them before a;lsdkjfae aside from tagging my own post.

[stopping.livejournal.com]

.....so that translates to "we should probably do away with deck name tags" alsdkjfa

[lucathia]

Haha, sounds like no one will miss the deck tags much!

I only used the deck tags in the beginning to see who was searching for cards I could offer, but as you get more and more different trade decks it's too much to look people up like that. So yeah, I don't need them anymore either xD

Finally being able to create my player tag would be nice *laughs*

[lucathia]

That's very true, and we just ended up not being able to tag decks anymore since we have more decks than there is tag space. I suppose the deck tags will be going.

You can create your tag now. XD;;

[love-michiyuki.livejournal.com]

That's good to know!
Thanks a lot :D
