And even if a game has tags for people who tag in, doesn't do much good if the players don't use them.
Never will understand why people say it's so much easier to find old threads in a comm based game. It's not if people don't tag posts and you don't recall who made the post.
Biggest annoyance about my current game. A handful of players and I are the only ones that use the tags consistently; what's the point of having tags in the first place if no one's going to use them?
I wish there was a way of enforcing that, like making it part of the AC, but... that would be insane for the mods to handle. Maybe if they had more people on the mod-team, but oh well.
Actually, I'm confused about AC that both doesn't use tags or player participation. How does that work? (unless I'm misunderstanding here)
In my game, the mods use the tags so they can check threads/posts for each character. They're very particular of us tagging our posts/posts we join for this reason. I've actually almost failed AC once or twice because I forgot to tag posts after putting my character in.
What the anon above me said. I've been in a game or two where the mods were practically fanatic about getting us to tag our stuff because that was how AC was done, we'd link our tags to the AC post (mostly to say 'we're still in the game' and give them a handy place to find all the tags) and they'd look at them there.
My current game doesn't do that, we link our AC proofs. But I wish people would use them more anyway, because it's so much easier to find things when they do.
