At the very least, whoever started the thread should be able to remove tags regardless of who added them...

Oh come on... do we need regulations for everything? It wasn't before the tag-spamming in the "n810 is useless"-thread that I knew tags existed at all. (Or was it another thread before tagged with "n900-hardcase"-tags? Can't remember...) anyway, it was recently, and it were tags that only caught my attention because they made me smile a bit. So now I know we have tags in this forum. These spam-tags were useful for me.

They may be gone again in 2 weeks, and I don't think they did any harm so far. Get back to this when there really is a problem that needs to be dealt with. Discussing it now seems overly bureaucratic to me. We don't need to run a business here. It's a web-forum. It is made for such things.

While here tagging is encouraged its apparently not used in the right way in some threads.
There's a tag cloud? Where?

Isn't the tag cloud supposed to be somewhere visible? This kinda defeats the purpose.

It's called activism. A hard case on the N900 will solve all of the problems of globalization. And it will increase the pH of acid rain.

(I just deleted all mine, the couple that are left are by someone else.)

Click search > Tag search. It's not in the most convenient location, but it's there.

Well I for one would like to know who's searching for forum posts on "N810 gives head"

I found no evidence in this forum that it does, so I stick with my N800 and wait what the next device brings...

I don't even know what to say to that. But isn't this a little too much? I've noticed the tags before and at times laughed at some of them. Putting stupid tags on a thread is childish but they aren't really hurting anyone. I have never put a tag on a thread but I am half tempted to now just knowing that I can. ANYWAYS, I don't think we should be taking ourselves too awfully serious here, they are just little words at the bottom of the page that most people don't even notice.
