As you might have noticed, a lot of the tags are no longer there. I am currently doing a tags cleanup. If there is a certain tag you would like you can request them here.
Wow, you have trimmed a lot! I liked the author tags, but as many authors as there are now, I can understand getting rid of them; it will make the tags list considerably less cluttered. And LJ does now have a "Show all posts by author" feature when you mouse over the userhead, so the tags aren't really needed.
Question: Since there are tags for the ficathon and for Summergen, should there be a tag for the Gen Big Bang as well? I'm assuming we're doing it again next year (*looks hopefully at reapertownusa*).
Yeah, Roshni and I talked about the author tags - it was both an issue that there are so many authors that having to scroll through the list makes the rest of the tags more or less unusable and the fact that this isn't a true archive - as in obviously with a website where stories are actually housed you need those author tags so you can find other stories by the author you love. But here folks are mostly referencing back to their journal so if you want to read more stories by that author you can just get them straight from their journal.
As to the Gen Big Bang - oh heck yes there's another round coming! Technically, two since next year we'll do both a mini and a big bang so everyone can play. And some of us can play twice ;)
We set the tags up to help people find the stories they're looking for to read. Using tags to ban people is different ;)
If you're not wanting to see posts from certain folks, LJ has an option to ban them so that you don't have to see their community posts on your flists.
And, on the other side of the coin, if you're wanting to see every post a member posted to spn_gen all you have to do is come here, mouse over their icon and select 'show all posts by user' then you'll see everything you would have seen by clicking on the author tags.
So both options are still available - there's just not a really long list in the tags section.
