yeah but my point is that having the info post in and of itself isn't what sparked your interest enough to make you stop and consider the character at all. you liked the look of the character (whether bc of the canon, character pick, username, icon, whatever) first, enough to check out their info post.

the point you actually wrote was "it won't get you more tags," which is wrong.

i stop, consider the character, and check for info. no info, no tag.

yep i stand by it, it won't get you more tags, it will just inform the people who were thinking of tagging you anyway.

by your own comment, you stop and consider the character first before you even check for an info post.

i'm saying this because people like to act as if info posts are end-all-be-all but reality is, you still have to play from a canon with mass appeal or a considerable niche one, or you've got to have a juicy idea pillaring your oc. info posts can make the deciding factor between you and the next guy playing Blorbo, but they won't do the whole job of getting you more tags and it feels weird to me we authoritatively prescribe them as the savior of dwrp here and on rpa. but hey, that's why i'm posting this under the unpopular opinion thread, i get plenty of you feel differently.

that's a lot of words to express that you can't tell the difference between getting and not getting a tag

i think what you're trying to say is "info posts aren't what catches people's interest" which we all already know

if you make it a habit of rambling around the point this much in your tags too, i think you're having bigger rp problems to worry about than info posts tbh...
