Re: That's because people on AO3 don't know how to tag.

Sure, I didn't think someone held a gun to your head but you jumped in because the site doesn't explain itself and the posting forms probably aren't going to see an update in the next three years. I don't think overtagging is a huge issue either (I don't even load that site personally) and well, most people will probably continue to do so because adding an extra tag from the dropdown, just in case takes, three seconds as opposed to educating themselves for 20 min or so. It just annoys me when the casual users are insulted here for not understanding for how the AO3 works behind the scenes and that's what my response was about.

In that case, yeah, I don't disagree. There are ways to find out almost anything, but the nature of people in general mean that people aren't necessarily going to be finding them because there are different degrees of interest in such things as documentation and news posts and things and the posting form is intuitive enough on a basic level, at least, that looking for more info really isn't a requirement. Insulting someone for just not knowing something tends to be silly and a bit counterproductive, especially when it doesn't really make a difference in the long run on anything but an aesthetic level.
