Moved this to below the trolls confusing organization with censorship for some reason. To the person asking about the maturity issue, I’d direct you to exactly that.
I didn’t mean literal Twitter hashtags, sorry for misspeaking. I just meant some kind of categorical tag. You could have multiple. No one has to upkeep them, whatever that would mean.
When dealing with incident reports at work we have a section for tags to make them searchable in a semi-standard way. They start with a hash to separate them from the word in text.
Even just having tags for “combat,” “characters” or “dialogue” would allow people to identify threads they’re interested in, and reduce reposts.
I guess maybe this is something we should consider throwing in at the end of our posts as a community.
The main reason I was saying that the list needed to be managed was because I am a solutions architect specializing in integrations, data management, and business process architecture as well as being a principal developer and platform manager for corporate applications. When you are creating repositories for metadata, if they dont have a canonical usage and enforcement they are meaningless. If I tag something as COMBAT because I didn't like the fact that I talked to a druid and they got mad at me and attacked me, its now a useless tag. We have no common definition and even if we did, no way to enforce it. Its why you have I.T. Help Desk people categorize tickets, the user is typically incorrect because they don't have a systematic way of categorizing symptom and cause diagnosis - and they have no desire to, as it isn't their job or concern. The thing you are trying to do would need to be in a highly controlled cultural and application environment and forums will never be able to do that.
