Tagging Threads: Announcement

JBoyle4eva

Hey guys and gals,

I'm sorry for not discussing this sooner, but better late than never, I guess. Anyway, as we've all seen since this forum was started, there's been numerous threads on numerous reality TV shows. And as some individual shows have numerous threads, I think we should implement a tagging system on thread titles.

For example, I want to talk about the UK version of The Apprentice, well if I were to title my thread "Alan Sugar is mean" then I would use this title with tag: " [The Apprentice UK] Alan Sugar is mean ".

Now, the reason I'm implementing this is because in a month's time, Big Brother is starting again. This forum started of as the Big Brother forum, and there were vast varying threads detailing numerous aspects about the show. No matter what your opinion of the show, this is more than likely going to happen again. And this is not the case just for Big Brother, this could happen with any other reality TV show.

Therefore, I'm compiling a list of Reality TV show Tags in this sticky. These tags are being implemented to make it easier to identify different reality TV shows. I will leave this sticky open, for positive or negative feedback OR for users to add tags I may have missed.

These tags are not yet compulsory, as I would like to get users feedback on them. But I would like to see them being at least tried out.

Many thanks

Sharpshooter

I think it's a good idea because it will let posters know at a glance what the various threads are about.

So, just so I have this right J, my usual thread would now be titled as "Post While You Are Watching BB(UK)"
:pac::pac:

Mr E

Its a great idea (especially with BB coming down the track), but the abbreviations are a bit vague. For example, if you saw the topic line:

[CDWM] John is a twat

.. how would you know that CDWM is come dine with me without looking at the thread?

Also, don't forget an 'other' category....

Yeah, that's something I'm kinda concerned about. I suppose we could use "Dine" for Come Dine With Me, and possibly Stars for "Dancing With The Stars".

Anyore feedback?

So, this really hasn't garnered much interest either way. Gonna give this until Tuesday, and if nothing else has been aded to the topic I'm gonna let it slide
