Personally I feel that some of them are pure comedy gold and would love to know who the tag genius users are, would other people like to be able to see as well if admin were to set it up, or do they prefer it being anonymous (always useful for slagging people off if you are a coward I guess )

Poll closes in 3 days (friday the 12th)

Apologies for spelling mistake on the question, but I cant see how to edit it.

Should of course read WHO has posted, not HOW. Maybe a mod can correct it?

Do a poll

COCHYN

I tend to not post tags purely for the last thing you said Chip, seems a little less keyboard ninja to say something to a face rather than a screen. But good thread

Chip

iTrader: (3)

This IS a poll.

Red16

it wasnt when i posted im going to tag you you cunt

Chip

iTrader: (3)

You can only make a poll when you create a thread as far as im aware you cant create one afterwards, this thread was originally started as a poll right from the beginning, but the forum software chooses to display the thread when you are only halfway through that process, there is nothing you can do to stop that as a user.

timrud

Far more fun as it is

Red16

Fair enough... i'll let you off then

I'll vote no. The fact they are anonymous makes them even funnier. It's obvious you only want to know becaus you do get quite a few aimed at you.

Why change it... So that you can see who wrote them. Who cares..? It's what's written that's funny... Totally pointless poll.

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Maybe I havent been looking hard enough but Ive seen very few aimed at me TBH, most of them seem to be about kosman and some of them are fucking classics so I would find it interesting to see who the comedians are.
So I have no idea why something that isnt true would be obvious to you


If its pointless, then why did you vote in it?

Coldo

Nah, would ruin it.

At the moment the funniest tags are ones with some proper dark humour in them, or some direct abuse at someone else, which is funny usually.

Most/all users wouldn't have the balls to post it as a reply in the open forum, so these slices of humour would disapeer. Which would be a bit shit, imo.

If you cant take a bit of a slagging from a daft tag then you need to give yourself a shake and man the fuck up a bit.

Only way it would be better would be if people posted the tags as a reply, however we know that wouldn't happen - even if it did, the mods on their current traffic warden style power trip would have the thread moved into that pish policies room in no time.

Lose lose situation for me chocolate chipper.

Oh god... I forgot what you're like Chip. I really should learn not to write a post on a thread. You have my opinion, so please, no quoting me loads etc.. Just leave it. If that's possible?

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Coldo, if people have something funny to say then why shouldnt they just man up and say it anyway with their name linked to it rather than only doing it if they can hide behind anonymity?
Surely anyone with no confidence in their convictions enough to put their name to something isnt worth listening to anyway

Besides, the mods can already see who uses the tags to abuse people, so it doesnt change wether or not people can get infracted for leaving abusive tags anyway.

thebigyin

leave anonymous.

Conor Harrington

ive never under stand when people mention tags what are they

P_is_for_Paul

Coldo has Maddy WTF?

Na, i think its fine as it is Chip Diddy Chip. Its funnier not knowing!

Chip

iTrader: (3)

scroll down to where it says "tags" near the bottom of any thread on the forum, like this one for example.

thebigyin

totally agree, please dont talk us into submission chip, pleeeeaaasssee ffs

you dont like the system probably because you have been on the recieving end and now you want to change it imo.

P_is_for_Paul

Genuinely though Chip, what does it matter who posted it? If someone was to tag 'Coldos a paedo' for instance, it would be funny because it was written, not because it was written by a specific user.

mercgrey

i must be proper dumb but everyone goes on about tags and i aint got a clue whatr they arew i pressed yes tho so i could reply! lol

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I do like the system though, Im not suggesting they stop allowing tags, merely that it would be good to see who the funniest people are

DanW@FastFord

I've just left an offensive one. Hope that helps

pani_k

iTrader: (1)

Whilst I find tags hilarious in threads (Chip's shed thread has probably had some of the best tags ever ) wouldn't really care if they remained anonymous or not as offensive tags can be reported anyway and to be honest if you are going to post a deliberately offensive tag then you are either a total cunt or a pussy that wouldn't write it in a reply.

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

leave it alone.

Red16

best tag so far on this thread

Westy

iTrader: (1)

What I fail to see is why would it be so interesting to see who posted what tag? If they want to be seen they could jus own up lol... Don't ruin what is meant as a bit of fun. Leave it try way it is.

The only people who would vote 'yes' would be the likes of Chip, BM08 who get a fare bit of abuse and can't take the banter. It's just a bit of fun, shame I can't do it.

timrud

I think chip is using the cover of "finding out who the comedy genius is" to instead find out "who has been posting shit about him"

Some of the tags with sheldrake & co were classic!!

thebigyin

you can get away with stuff in a tag that would turn a thread to shit if it was said in the open, i think the anonymous way is hilarious.

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Exactly, and no one gets credit for adding it unless the tags stop being anonymous

Conor Harrington

ohh i see and people jsut put them up i see i see whats the benfiut but funny to read and cheers to who ever wrote it in for me lol

Chip

iTrader: (3)

@ "here conor lad!!"

COCHYN

Gotta hand it to Chip though, as argumentative as he is at times, he does put some funny threads up that spark up anger

Thinking about it, I doubt you'd need to find out who writes tags, its easy enough to determin who writes things offensively/humourously by their replies on this thread

Chip

iTrader: (3)

As per above, ive not actually noticed many tags about me anyway TBH mate so dont really care who left the few I have seen, it seems to be mainly Kosman they are about, although obviously im bound to attract a few in this thread now I guess

While we are on the subject of what people think others mean though, I think the people replying saying "keep it anonymous, its funnier" though actually mean:
"keep it anonymous cause im too much of a pussy to comment if it isnt"

Westy

iTrader: (1)

Even the tags on this tag thread are superb

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Indeed, and im not suggesting for one moment that tags should be stopped from being on the forum, so they would all still be there anyway, and I think it would add to the humour to see who has added them if anything, as we'll be able to see saddos having little tag wars

timrud

I can't post tags, so for chips benefit I'll do mine here

chip ran over sarahs dog

Chip

iTrader: (3)

that one is already there though mate?

Neil@FastFord

Keep as is, it won't be funnier knowing who did it. The tags are a good benchmark of if you are being a cunt or for some proper shocking humour.

Having someone laugh at one of your own tags is ample recognition.

thebigyin

keep it anonymous, you CUNT.

timrud

Wasn't there when I posted, some kind soul must of put it in for me

Anyhow nice to see NO is winning
