How to use the community tagging system:
Since starting to tag all sims submissions to the community, our original masterlist of tradable sims has fallen by the wayside. Though some of those links are still valid, and it is a usable resource, we've come to rely on the tagging system as a way to find and filter tradable sims.
The tags are displayed at the left side of the community, and you can see the entire list of pixel_trade tags, and how often they're used at:
http://community.livejournal.com/pixel_trade/tag/
There's many ways to use the tagging system to your advantage:
Single tag:
Useful if you want to browse ALL posts to the comm from a single user, a single event, or all sims submitted to the comm. For example:
http://community.livejournal.com/pixel_trade/tag/!self sim submission or
http://community.livejournal.com/pixel_trade/tag/!simsperiments
Multiple tags:
Use the multiple tag option to view all posts including more than one tag, for example if you're a fan of two users and want to see all of their related posts to the comm, or multiple event posts all at once.
For example, say you want to find all the posts featuring sims from our two latest mods, you would use the following url:
http://community.livejournal.com/pixel_trade/tag/boolpropbea,charterzard
You can also use this method in conjunction with other tags, so for example if you wanted to see the sims of child and adult ages that I had submitted to the community, you would use the following url:
http://pixel-trade.livejournal.com/?poster=bondchick_nett&tag=!download:%20adult,!download:%20child/toddler
RSS:
You can use the tagging system to receive rss feeds of certain specific tags, for example to receive a feed of all sim submissions, you would use the following url:
http://community.livejournal.com/pixel_trade/data/rss?tag=!sim%20submission
Unfortunately at present there's no livejournal way of filtering using tags. We very much wish there was, especially so that we could do things like filter the submissions to only sims 2 sims or only sims 3 etc. There's a few greasemonkey filters available around the web that may allow such customisation, though many seem out of date. If you've up to date ways of using the tags for filtering etc please don't hesitate to share! ^_^
