How should a post be made Transformer-specific if we're not using "Holo!Barricade" (for instance) but "Holo/Human!Robot"? Are we switching to something like "Human/Holo!Insert Specific Transformer Here," as well? I'm just wondering because I may want to see only posts with a certain humanized Transformer.

Also, I have a suggestion about tagging with people's names. "Poster: username here" will be helpful in keeping the posters' names organized; all the usernames will be all together in the tags list.

For the first part, I've always just used the 'holo/human!robot' tag, and then the plain character tags. Any clarification as to WHO is holo/human can be made in the post itself under Pairings/Characters.

Using the Barricade example, use the "holo/human!robot" tag to mark content type, then the "barricade" tag to mark character. Having several "holo!specific-character" tags takes too big of a chunk out of the tag quota, sorry. As liona_skycat said, clarification on who's being humanized can be stated in the post itself.

Also, I have a suggestion about tagging with people's names. "Poster: username here" will be helpful in keeping the posters' names organized; all the usernames will be all together in the tags list.

That WOULD be useful. Thanks for the input!
