Sorry to poll you guys so soon after the other one, but the idea came up: tagging posts with the fandoms of the posted secrets.

Pros:
+ Much easier to go back and find specific secrets
+ Much easier to go back and find specific fandoms
+ If you're late(r) to the post, easier to check for your fandoms without loading the post for the Name the Fandom thread

Cons:
- Giant block of tags at the bottom of each post (90 secrets with 90 fandoms = 90 tags in one post -- yeah)
- Waaay labor intensive; 584 posts to go back and tag (though you guys can help with this)

[Poll #1239073]

ETA:

Ok! If we do put in tags, they'll go up on the posts after they've moved off the front page. So no GIANT LIST OF TAGS appearing on your flist, but they'll be there for anyone who wants to search the archives.

But if the tags are gonna be open for all to edit, they're gonna be trolled like hell -- it's F!S, after all. So the only way to make sure it isn't TROLLED TO HIGH HELL is to make tagging restricted, which means that the mods will have to do all of it.

I. Do not think that it's worth all the effort, really.

[case]

No, everyone can add tags, but only the mods can make them, so -- I guess if somebody wanted to go back and tag 500 posts with EVERY SINGLE TAG they could but... uhhh I don't think that trolling is worth the time really

lkaj;sldkfj it just seems like a really easy way to fuck with the F!S mods, 'cause using clickshiftclick takes all of five seconds, and selecting random tags doesn't take that much time either.

And some people A) hate the F!S mods and B) have way too much time on their hands.

[case]

I guess the way to ensure that DOESNT happen would be to make the add-tag thing members only, and ask people to sign up to do it? Just make posting all moderated and have people be members just for tags and stuff uhhhh

SDKFJSL:DKFJ I'M NOT TRYING TO CREATE COMPLICATIONS HERE

I just don't want us all to end up massively regretting this later, because people who actually meant well ended up having their time wasted by stupid trolls.

But that does sound like a nice solution, if you feel that we should take measures against anonymous troublemakers!
