all the "tag" posts

[doubled]

why do people reply in a thread with the word "tag" when the forum allows you to flag topics to fall into your watch lists?

is there some feature that replying in a thread with "tag" allows you to quickly search or something?

sorry, couldn't resist. We "tag" because we can then search our own posts to find the link. It is easier to follow a topic but most don't know how to do that.

Simple. Go to the top of thread, click "Topic Options" and then "Add to Watched Topics". To see a list of what you've added, go to "My Stuff" and then "Watched Topics".


"Tag" is from Arfcom.

I'm not sure ARFcom came up with "tag", I'm pretty sure it's been internet prevalent long before those mouth breathers finally caught on.

my point being you can use the forum to watch the topics and create a watch list. a custom search found over 300,000 "tag" posts. just an observation.

there is nothing worse than marking a topic to be added to your watch list and get 10 emails from topic activity and 9 of them say "tag" - i have an irrational anger to the tag posts.

I see it a lot on arfcom... I think it caught on before they had the "subscribe" button similar to the "add topic to watched topics" thing here.

People are lazy... all there is to it.

It's the same purpose as "bumping" a topic. All it does is make the thread go back to the top of the thread list and make it appear to be an active topic.

I see some folks on here that "tag" MANY threads per month. I find it annoying as hell, but also comical in a way.

For the taggers, keep on tagging.

When I see "TAG" it doesnt make me mad because I know what they are doing... In the for sale section at least, they are letting you know they are interested in your shit, but want you to drop the price. At least thats what I think about some taggers.

I'm guilty of the "tag" post. I will now use the above mentioned method. Thanks.
