You might consider a list of preset tags that could be set by the individual. Take Deviant Art when submitting art. Once you've placed in tags related to the deviant search engine that series of tags are remembered so when adding a similar item of art work you simply type in one key word and the entire list comes up that can be highlighted. In fact all lists appear so you can scroll through them instead of retyping it over and over. That could help to some degree on topics if posters can scroll through political, religious, whatever in hash tags rather than always typing it up.

But the only one that pops up is the forum hash tag. Unless I'm missing something when posting because I have to type in my subjects every time. Here's one more of deviant arts model. And the only reason I'm typing this is not to insult your intelligence but because I don't believe I typed a satisfactory descriptor from the earlier post. I like politics and art so say under the hash tag I type in #Geopolitics and #comic art. The next time I post if I place the cursor over the hash tag box all my prior hash tags should appear so I can scroll through them and select the correct line up of subjects. I know it's a lot of coding and script triggers but you asked for a suggestion and that's the one that pops up when considering the hash tag question. Perhaps another message box containing saved hash tag lists the user can highlight and paste. I mean I'm trying here. Simply saying why don't you guys get this is fine because after Recon laid it out I got the last few parts of what I was missing and when I went to Deej on a private message because memebers were necro-ing a post of mine to attack female gamers I got better understanding of what the moderation level was raised to. I wanted to delete that post, but your board isn't as user friendly as you might think off the mark when you first enter BNext. So if there's tools available you can tell it much like the equipment from Halo 3. They should be using it but it's just sitting there instead. It was out of necessity that I figured out how to bury the post and handle the issue on my own. But come launch unless your board is either really user friendly or saddled with some well placed information at the doorstep you're going to get this issue in spades.

[quote]Suggestions are welcome. [/quote] Here's a good one: Force people to tag their thread with at least one tag. If people are making Political threads, their first thought should be #Politics.

You say that like #dragons is a bad thing.

You do realize who you are talking to right? If it works better one way I usually do the opposite.
