Mod post. What should I do?

[girltype]

With the mods stepping down and with all the hate/wank going around. I feel it'd be wise to have membership closed and the tags system no longer open for addition. I had a few users link me to the hate meme and I don't know what to think. This place is so large, there is no way to have a tags system to please everyone. I felt the group that handled

It's sad there are no moderators...
i hope i can lend some hands but with the University stuff...i don't think so....
Never ever...think to close this comm...because this is where i can found other than popular pairings like Akame, ryoda etc...here i can found the odd pairing where sometime it is fun to read it... ^__^
thanks to this comm really....

i like the previous tagging system...the tag with the pairing...it's easier for me to find the fic...

with the mods b4 this...the comm looks clean....oh yeah....i hate MEME...don't why...don't ask...maybe i don't like people bashing others fic... =/

There seems to be a love/hate with the tag system. This place has gotten so big and vague, I feel no tag system will be accepted by everyone. That isn't to say let's just give up. Maybe I should have a poll with most popular tags and add them. Reading this, and the meme, it seems lots of people liked the older tag system, but I remember when it was around lots of people loathed it.

different anon, but I'd say that with more popular parings, it would have been better to keep the pairing tags. the problem with that is that you'd wind up having the character AND the pairing tags, which would be a worse mess :/ and I realize that this would require a LOT of work to change or update again. The biggest problem here is the fact that LJ's search system is horrible and they may never get around to fixing it. While the new tag system was a good idea in theory, it didn't work out in the end :/

I feel bad for the mods that stepped down, they put a lot of work into something that a lot of people seem to hate :(

I never used lj's search system but tried it out after reading your comment and just doing a basic search is pretty bad. It seems the biggest complain is the pairings aspect of the tags. I feel it's a luxury now that the old tag system is gone and until I find someone willing to handle the task, I don't see improvements happening for a long time.

Pm me, let's talk. Even if it's just to get a list of what pairings people want up, I could use all the help I can get.

Thanks for the list, I'll def keep it in mind when making up a list for tags.

yup...if u want to please every single one...u might get a huge headache....
i might like the previous one...but i also like the tag system now...
i don't care...as long as i can find fic to read... ^__^

I think it needs to be a mix of both - the pairing tags for Akame and the other huge pairings should never have been removed, but the character tags are fine for less popular pairings.

[girltype]

Exactly, I think popular pairings should have a tag, but the less popular can do find with using the search two tags at a time. I want to start working on a list for popular pairings within the week.
