Question Tags System - Should we use it?
As for the tags, they could be useful, but we will have to look out for people misusing them.

I copied this to start a public discussion of using 'Tags' in threads (a new vBulletin 'feature').

Your opinions?

Default Re: Tags System - Should we use it?
The only negative I see (and this is just from observing tags at Amazon.com*) is folks tagging things in a non-standard way - same article with "calibration", "calibrating" and "callibrating" tags.

How much moderator control is there over tags?

*just as an example, here are the tags on a 7-port USB hub:

usb hub (39)
7 port usb hub (34)
7-port usb hub (25)
7 port (15)
usb 2 (12)
excellent (11)
usb (11)
multi port hub (10)
hub (9)
slim (4)
black (2)
powered hub (2)
7 port usb 2 hub (1)
7 port usb hum (1)
7-port usb 2 hub (1)
best 7 port hub yet (1)
blue light (1)
cool (1)
design (1)
fantabulous (1)
good hub (1)
mac usb2 (1)
metal (1)
mount (1)
poorly designed 7 port hub (1)
portable usb hub (1)
powered usb hub (1)
ps3 (1)
rockband (1)
solid usb hub (1)
the best usb hub period (1)
upstream hub (1)
usb 20 (1)
usb port (1)

If it's not already set this way, I *think* moderators can delete tags. I'll have to take a look.

It's a way for users to categorize "stuff". Here, it categorizes threads, at Amazon.com, it categorizes their merchandise. When you click on a tag, you see all items (threads) with the same tag.

Hope that helps.

Default Re: Tags System - Should we use it?
Scott, you make a very good point. I think the tags would be nice, but it is something that would need to be managed. While the "see related threads" isn't perfect, it seems to get the job done, and does it automatically.
