While you threw that out as a joke, if it were possible to tag posts as well, it might be possible to have some sort of system like so:

1) Original poster tags their thread as they intend for the direction of their thread to be (ex. "media").

2) Posters who then post in that thread could choose to tag their threads differently (ex. "talk"). The default though would be the original poster's.

3) The thread would then be tagged by what the majority of the posts are tagged as.

This is keeping in mind that such a tag system would be more for searches than for "organizing" the forum community. *shrug*


Hm. I'm concerned that once the "majority meta-tag" of a thread has shifted to a new category (let's say from [DEAL] to [TECH]... whatever those mean), only people who want to talk about the new category ([TECH], in this case), will go there.

Yeah, I agree, hence the "search only" comment I made. But yeah, I'm not even really advocating this idea, not because I think it's a bad idea, but because most any "change" on Massassi I forsee being turned for the worse, and not necessarily because other members are purposely twisting it that way either.

I also agree that the numbers sound high, but that's what the stats show. I was surprised myself.
