The "Do you want tags back" Poll

[Beerdude26]

Pretty simple. You can post comments why (not) to discuss.

 

[Xendance]

No poll

D8<

 

[Wanted Bob]

Yes!

Why did they get rid of them???

;(

 

[Xendance]

Oh, now there is.

YES!

 

[Slug Advisor]

Why yes, I do.

 

[Bad^Hat]

F*ck em.

 

[Gray Fox]

What they are gone, since when?

 

[Xendance]

What they are gone, since when?

Like last week.

We abused them too much.

 

[Gray Fox]

Jesus f*ck. I miss so much of what is going on here. It's like there is a whole subculture that I'm not a part of. Like some people wait till I go to sleep before posting.

 

[Raziaar]

No. Tags are retarded.

 

[Lizardizzle]

I thought they were pretty damn hilarious.

bring 'em back

 

[Ren.182]

F*ck em.

No. Tags are retarded.

These.

They were pretty useless.

 

[99.vikram]

NO. F*cking no.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Obvious why it was removed. Spam abuse.

 

[Solaris]

YESSSS!!!!!! I demand it.

 

[Pesmerga]

Beerdude even though I think this thread is stupid, I at least thank you for limiting the poll questions to two, discarding such popular options such as "pie", "the cake is a lie", "maybe", and "I think this poll is stupid".

 

[Eejit]

Yep. Means people can keep their funny but pointless spam to tags instead of spamming the thread itself.

Ooh I never thought about it this way. I voted yes, but now I think they shouldn't come back.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

They were hilarious, imo we should bring them back.

Do eet!

 

[jimbo118]

They were funny aye, made alot of threads worth reading.

 

[Shamrock]

To be honest, I love spam, but the tags were a bit too much. They were WAY over abused and ended up being a worthless feature to the forum.

However, I voted yes... I meant no.

 

[Ennui]

Tags, in their brief heyday, were pretty much the equivalent of a 4chan tumor on HL2net. A stinking, festering growth of Anonymous on our precious forum. Admittedly there was some amusing and witty commentary in them, but they were abused far too much. As you would expect with that sort of thing.

Also, not to burst anyone's bubble, but we're not bringing them back unless we have a way to moderate them and know who posted what. Which we don't.

Need a dispensah here!

 

[Adabiviak]

I don't think I saw more than a couple appropriate tags in a miasma of spam (although it was funny).

 

[Rapstah]

Yes with moderation.

Wisdom oozes from Ennui's mouth like pus from a sore.

 

[Shamrock]

Yes with moderation.

There is no way to moderate.

 

[Rapstah]

Hence a no.

 

[Shamrock]

Hence a no.

Hence a,

[Naph]

I never used them but, yes.

 

[Cormeh]

I'd like them back, yes. Levels of spam and abuse will always outweigh sensibility when no one can trace it, so that's why we can never have nice things.

You gits.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Imagine the tags that would be put on this thread.

/me sighs wistfully

 

[CyberPitz]

No, because they were useless.

 

[Seppo]

they were funny for the first few da...hours, but then it got all meh

 

[Ravioli]

i dont understand what Tags really were...can someone explain? All it did was add a word to the bottom of the page...im confused as to what it was ment for...:x

 

[Ennui]

Its meant for people to "tag" the thread with appropriate related terms, a thread about Super Mario Galaxy might be tagged SMG, Wii, Mario, etc. Or, on this forum it'd be tagged: Wii, need a dispensah here!, need a dispensaaaahaahahah, balls, fail thread is fail, win thread is win, musicz, penispenispenis, gordon is gman

 

[Baal]

Bring tags back!

And thats what made them great!
tags made people laugh, we need them.

 

[Evo]

Tags were being used as a means of abuse, and as we have no way of tracking down who made them then it is an issue that only can be resolved by getting rid of them.

:arms:

 

[CyberPitz]

I knew they were gonna get abused. Need a system of tracking, so that we know who put them in. That should curve the abuse a small portion....
