I find myself in disagreement with the administration and other moderator(s) here over thread tagging. I agree that some tags go too far, but I see that as a moderation issue rather than policy one. I also think humor tags help diminish outright flame wars and off topic posting IF they don't get ugly (again a moderation issue).
With that said, I am curious about other opinions. Please vote and comment.
Oh, and tag too, I guess.
EDIT: per Reggie's request-- tags are normally used to add metadata to threads for search purposes. When used as designed, they can aid in finding posts. This is why I agree that tags should never be 100% humor-based. That said,
as long as useful tags have been added, the humor tags do not hamper search
. This is where moderation comes in.
