Many apologies for the spam, but I've been pondering this for a while and I'd love to see some data. Feel free to comment with any other input.

Poll tags usage

I picked that I didn't use the tagging system, but now that I know about it, I'll definitely use tags from now on :)

Most excellent. :)

That's one thing we're going to try to work on, getting the posts tagged on a regular basis even if the authors don't add the tags themselves, so people can use them to supplement the header if necessary. :)

I think tags are a big help. They make searching for either a specific story or a story with a specific focus much easier.

That's really good to hear, for a while I was wondering if anyone was using them. :D

Tags have only recently become a non-foreign concept to me. I generally will not use tags when posting to a community because I don't want to have to figure out the system the comm uses and I don't want to make the mods have to go back and redo all my tags. However, figuring this one out will probably be something I make a point of doing. Thanks for the heads-up!

That's completely understandable, and it's a big reason we don't push people to use tags. They're there if you want to use them, but we'd rather just do them ourselves than alienate people who feel like they might be doing them wrong or don't want the hassle. So it would be cool if you did, but it's no big deal if you don't. :)

Sorry that I don't use tags! I always forget and then I really don't know how to use it right either. I don't use tags in my own journals either, so I'm not trying to make your job harder, I just forget. I'll totally try to remember now though. Sorry. :D (And sorry in advance for when I forget because knowing me, I'll blank)

[quarterturn]

Hey, not a big deal, promise. Like I said in a comment above, we'd rather do them ourselves than alienate people by making them feel like they have to use them or by making them feel like they're doing them wrong. So if you use them, cool, and if not, that's cool too! :)
