Yay for cleaning up things, thank you!

We were talking about tags in a few posts in the last months, and I think a number of people agreed that it would be nice to have the tags a bit cleaned up. Some of the in-joke-like ones are hard to even understand, let alone remember, so finding a particular player might be a lot harder than it has to be. And, well, a few of them are a bit cringeworthy, like the one for Fellaini. Looking back at the comm's development over the years, it seems to have shifted its tone somewhat; it's a lot less ONTD-like. So perhaps, if it can be handled, work-wise, the tags could be a bit more streamlined and simple, just "player name", "club name" rather than "someone's beard" or "someone's coldblooded enforcers"? If there are multiple tags for the same thing, they can be merged on the tag management page, just like tag names can be changed, so there would be no re-tagging needed.

I believe jazzypom in particular would be happy about tag changes, as she does the news posts and has to find tags, a few of which cannot be guessed by anyone in a normal frame of mind.

As for new tags: Could there perhaps be a "request a tag" post or something (ETA: I mean a permanent one where people can comment later, too)? There are always new plenty of players and clubs that come up at some point and get a lot of articles.

Finally, this here is the cutest thing ever:




I might need to go to Cologne Zoo just to look at this new baby. Click the image for more images in an article, including a picture gallery. Such a nice kitten.

yeah one of the main reasons is because "ffa=fist for all" annoys me lol

I'll be making a new rules post which will double as a 'contact a mod' post because my inbox filters out emails from LJ notifying me that i've been taged in a post (poor the4thjuliek constantly gets ignored because of this, sorry!)

those tigers are cute (?)

Snow leopards!

I love them, I have a cuddly toy one, very life-like, that really made my Christmas at a point about 25 years ago. I'd seen it when shopping and been just spell-bound, but my parents managed to not let me realise they'd bought it (I hoped something was going on because they were speaking French to each other). And then I opened the package at Christmas and just... absolute joy.

I like "Mourinho's Cold-blooded Enforcers", it's still relevant :D But I agree with everything else :)

That leopard is adorable!

They are beautiful! Such a fuzzy baby. <3 Lucky Cologne, our zoo has been gutted of many interesting animals due to lack of funds.

Re the tags, what you said. Not that I'm posting much anymore, but still.
