Re: On the subject of tags ...alexia_drakeJune 10 2013, 15:45:09 UTC
It is most likely related to the settings of the community, I guess that the creation of new tags must be restricted to the Maintainers, and you are a Moderator. They are two very different things, Moderators can only approve or reject new entries and new members. The two Maintainers are listed here. There is a setting that allows everyone to create or add tags, but Maintainers rarely choose that settings because the members are stupid, and usually accidentally create similar tags, rendering them pretty much useless. lol I usually choose the settings to "Who can create new tags" to Maintainers Only, and "Who can add existing tags" to Entry's author, Maintainers and Moderators.
Since the two Maintainers are either incactive on LiveJournal, or they deleted their account, you could try to open a Support request to ask them to transfer the ownership of the community to you (this also grants you Maintainers status), so that you can fully take care of it. Normally, the communities are handed to someone else when there are spam posting on it, and that the owner/maintainters are inactive or deleted, but considering that you are listed among the Moderators, you have a lot of chance of getting it even if there is no spam. (I'm part of the Support Team, that's why I know all this, but I do not have the power to transfer ownership, or I would have done it myself)
You should mention theise things in your support request; the username of the community, that you are a Moderator and you would like to get ownership to be able to take care of the community because the owner deleted their account, the other maintainer rebelle_elle haven't been active on LiveJournal since october 2012.
Or, if you haven't already, you could try to ask rebelle_elle to add you as a Maintainer. Even if she is not active anymore, she might still use the email associated with her account, and she could agree to log in to do it.
Wow, sorry for the long comment! lol And I hope you will be able to get the ownership :D

I've also added tags for !rewatch and for means2bhuman. Anything else you think I should do? The comm only has about thirty tags left to apply.

I only joined recently, so I have no idea what other tags it needs. I guess you'll see if someone make a post, and there's no tags that applies...
