May I ask the reason why tagging isn't allowed?

Myrth, I wish to speak with you.
Because it's spam, and spam has its place (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=29).

You should probably talk with him on the Moderation thread.
In the meantime, have some tacos. :) *hands you a six-pack*

I got the idea from Taco Bell that used to do it. Except these are GOOD. Hehehe.
I actually like Taco Bell. But I object to them calling their products 'tacos' and 'burritos'. There's a physical resemblance, but that's about it.

Myrth, if you could move this thread to moderation I would appreciate it.
When was the decision made to remove "spam" from the General forum? Just to be clear, when I say "spam" in quotes I mean it in the sense that the mods use it, to refer to threads which are percieved as jamming the forums and to push "real" threads off the front pages (this includes word games, which are fun, and pose no threat to the stability of the forum and which can be taken seriously as threads, as much so or more than any of the "I hate XXXX" threads, casual role playing threads, and chat threads of all kinds). When I use spam without quotes I mean it in the sense that I use it, to refer to threads whose express purpose is to jam the forums and push other threads off the front pages (this includes pornographic spam, people posting many threads in a short period of time, and other such actually damaging material).
So because that was a bit convoluted, I ask again, when was the decision made to remove "spam" from the General forum, rather than just true spam?

whats also not fair is the way the mods classify Hard News as "spam" and want people to only post links (*which change constantly) but censore the poster from actually pasting the news because its too contraversial.The mods that way can control people by censoring any information that can cause people to question those in power-The true definition of "spam" as applied on these boards is anything the mods decide they just dont like or anything that generates too much attention and activity on the forum
