I’ve seen a few new users creating the tutorial tag… do we keep or delete it?

5 Likes

I only included tags with at least one topic in them

Also, difficulty warning is redundant since we already have difficulty rating systems with teh emojis.

I put that note into the guide

We’ve agreed not to use difficulty warning, actually. And maybe you can add that the off topic tag isn’t there for people to use for their posts, its for marking posts for being off topic :]

I added the disclaimer

Wow, this is good! I made this a beginner-must-read.

Another thought- discouraging new users from using tags, since oftentimes they just make new ones or miuse existing ones.

3 Likes

Only TL3 users can create tags.

The tutorial tag keeps popping up on new user posts no matter how many times I delete it…

2 Likes

Those tags do exist, but a TL3 user orignally made the tag, but it never got used, so the TL0-2 users end up trying to use the tag

2 Likes

Speaking of which, are mods able to remove tags from the autofill thing?

2 Likes

there is also length-warning

3 Likes

I wonder how do we delete these?
