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.

Tagging seems a heck of a lot of work, just so you can search through the posts. Especially when there could only be one secret on a fandom in a thread of 90 secrets.

I'd almost think if there is an influx of secrets on specific things: Harry Potter, Twilight or The Dark Knight, perhaps bundle all the secrets together. So, an entire post on just that fandom. Way of 'tagging' the big fandoms.

Or perhaps making people include the fandom with their secret when they send it to you. Then you could just search for 'harry potter' and find all the secrets relatively easily.

Oh, there's an idea. Obviously the secret-maker would know the fandom, right?

You would hope :D Though I've always found it rather funny to have secrets like, "I wish this fandom was larger" or "why don't people realise he is awesome"...yet they don't SAY the fandom. And if someone doesn't respond with the fandom no one will know XD

Yeah, that's really weird. XD If I ever make a secret like that, I'm labeling it.

What about those secret posters that don't want to reveal the fandom for fear of discovery?
