Default Tags - why are they anonymous?

Genuine question, just wondering why on a moderated forum with users not allowed to reply anonymously, the tags at the bottom of threads are not also shown with details of who posted them like every other post on the forum is?

Why not make it so that the on hover property of the tag, is the name of the poster?

If people could just leave the mods to reply that would be great as the last thread ended up locked for being dragged off topic, and its a genuine question.

They need to be disabled IMO.

Only a few people on here use them as they were designed for and just add to the bandwidth and server speed reduction.

not really, if its related to the original postings....
it's only when it gets to a point where the mods feel it serves no positive purpose to the thread...

or people just decide to start being abusive towards each other ...


and as for why .. ermm i got no idea but think its better that way as the comic geniuses would be out of a job

Does it really matter that much? Seems like a lot of fuss about nothing.

Agreed, have never suggested they should be removed, I just felt it would be better if you could see who posted them, but it would appear thats not a commonly held view.

Tags are sometimes more interesting than the thread itself
