'Standard Tagging Procedure'

With the new site running I thought it would be interesting to facilitate a discussion on one of it's most potent new features, tagging. The system seeks, in my opinion, to make the 'individual forum board' obsolete. With the simple act of tagging #Community and #Flood you've reached twice the amount of users you would have on the Halo era B.net. Bringing your ideas to a broader audience only scratches the surface of what can be done with this new feature, but I believe there should be a set of 'standard tags' that members can use to engage the community with a greater accuracy and efficiency. Current Forum Tags: [quote]#Community #bungie #Septagon #offTopic #Halo #Destiny[/quote]These function as the old forum boards did in that you've only chosen a location to place your thread. These are the common, 'primary' ,tags that one would use on the site. I will argue that standardizing a set of secondary tags will allow for a better Bnet experience. [b]Gaming:[/b] I wander onto Bnet in search for some people to play my favorite bungie game, lets say it's ODST. How can I use the tagging system to efficiently find a party of people to play the Halo game ODST? I will first set a Primary tag: #Gamenight for the thread. This places the thread in a general category for those who are not looking for a specific game. In this case, we are setting up for a specific game so a Secondary Tag:, PlayODST, is needed. This can go on and on. [b]Suggested Gamenight tags[/b] [quote]P: #Gamenight S: #PlayCE #Play2 #Play3 #PlatODST #PlayReach [/quote] What do you think? How would you use the system? Do you think there should be some standardized taggs that the community should use?

  • The problem with tagging something as #Community and #Flood is that those are two very distinct areas of discussion. When people do that they are actually doing the exact opposite of what tags are meant to do by making it so that people who are looking for community discussion end up seeing off topic threads and vice versa. That is the major problem with the tagging system as opposed to a forum style, it relies too heavily on the user to correctly label and place his thread.
