Hm... Maybe Script Format for a writing style?

I think the way you ordered your tags in the OP seem pretty good enough.

May I ask why, exactly? They're pretty handy, honestly.

I agree with Rin on this one. Tags help with almost anything. I can see a bit of redundancy with a casual tag in a casual forum, but other than that, I don't see any downpoints.

[@zRin] The are ugly.


I am pretty sure most people would prefer convenience over aesthetics any day. And maybe they'll eventually be fixed up to look more aesthetically pleasing at some point, but for now getting rid of them completely just because you think "they're ugly" is... Kind of a little petty, for one thing.

They can never be aesthetically pleasing.

The only thing that can be done that is aesthetically pleasing is to remove them or give people the option to hide those ugly abominations of nature.

Eh, I don't even mind those ones. I mean, it's not visible when you're browsing the casual section, and with the Latest Checks/Roleplays things on the front page, it's a little bit helpful.

Alright, let's ask the question in a different way. How are they ugly?

Tags are the ugly bumper stickers of the Internet.


Tags are to threads as bumper stickers are to that car.

I snickered. I can see where you're coming from, though. Archive Of Our Own has tags. Most times, these tags help people find stories they want. Other times, the tags contribute nothing more than mere "comments", much like Tumblr or as you pointed out, bumper stickers.

However, with enough moderation, I could see the tag system be used at a healthy degree.

To actually contribute to this thread, has anyone suggested 'Mystery' for a genre tag? I also feel there should be an 'Antagonist' tag - for rps where the aim is to play as a traditional villain or antagonist, though I don't know if this would go under genre or tonal.

The closest suggestion to mystery is the "paranormal" one.

Hero, Antagonist, anti-hero and such would kinda be another type of tagging. Having just Antagonist kinda removes the depth necessary, but at the same time we wouldn't want too many tags.

I might not be the only one, but I think an "Animal" or "Natural World" tag could be used for RPs exclusively revolving around animals-- wolves seem to be popular.

hmm... true. But what name to give such a tag?

Maybe "Animalia", as in the animal kingdom in the species classification system?

Perfect. :D And Clever Girls would certainly fit into that category.

I don't know how much use it would get, but I would suggest having a waiting list tag for applications

I just have a question: who and how are tags decided to be used?

Tags are applied by GMs to their RP topics and to Interest checks.

@Ellri I know that. I mean, who decides if a tag gets approved?
