RE: Tags And Tagging - Newbie Guide

in Proof of Brain2 years ago (edited)

Goodgreetings sire,
Nice initiative you have here. I'm relatively new here and this is the very first time I'm seeing a material on this subject. It's been truly helpful, I must say.
I'm itching to apply something here in my post right now.

This got me, "..groups as tags. OCD, OCDB, Appreciator, GEMS, Curangel, Rocky and God know what other curators are there. New users believe this will help their post get curated..."

You then counselled that it is a "wasted opportunity". What then is the solution? Is it just the counsel you gave under "Tags"? If you don't mind, please see my recent posts as it could help the specificity of your response to this question.
By the time you check you would notice I have applied the direction you gave under "Tagging". I would like you to score me on that one.🙂

Thanks a lot, I'm honoured to "follow" you.

Hello there.

I'm not sure I understand your comment entirely, but I'm going to try to reply.

I said it's a wasted opportunity as using those tags that not only serve for nothing but can also make the curator skip your post, you are wasting the space dedicated for tags. You could use a lot of other useful tags like photography, nature, health, food, recipe or whatever fits the topic of your post.

If you don't mind, please see my recent posts as it could help the specificity of your response to this question.
By the time you check you would notice I have applied the direction you gave under "Tagging". I would like you to score me on that one.🙂

I don't understand what you mean here.

Thanks a lot for finding time @erikah .

On the section of mine you quoted.

I mean you have a sub-topic in your post called "Tagging". In there you taught us how to notify a user. Please did you check my post and you didn't see that I just applied what you taught? This is the first time I'm using that feature, that is why I was kinda requesting you give me a score on that.🙂
Anyways the above is my secondary matter.

Now to My Main Question

I meant viewing my recent post(eg Arsenal faithfuls) will help you answer more specifically. The answer you just gave is thesame "counsel you gave" under the sub-topic "Tags" and I understand it perfectly.
I can relate it to folks like me who usually do football posts,meaning I should take tag lines like- sports,football, etc.

My question is, is there any other solution?

Thanks sir for your great efforts.

Looks like I'm having difficulties understanding what you mean, but looking at your post, you're using some tags that you shouldn't.

OCD and OCDB have nothing to do with your post, neither has chessbrothers. I suppose the latter refers to soem chess community and your post is about football. GEM also I don't understand what purpose serves there.

Phew okay,we can skip the part you don't understand. I can score myself 100% in my first use of the '@username' thing you just taught.

Thanks,good to see your reply on my major question. I will take correction on those wrong tags. As for chessbrothers,I researched them well,they are not only about chess,they are for sports generally– infact they are very consistent in upvoting my posts plus they regularly publish a list of posts they have curated,with my posts always there.

I must say you've been terrific in looking out for newer guys like us.

Cheers
