We need to make a strict definition of each tag. A lot of tags are very vague about what they are for, like informational .

And most of them are also forum-tips :sunglasses:

This guide can probably just be removed. Is that ok do you think?

Right- when I made the first PSA, it was to inform the users of the old forum that guides were disappearing, and something was being done about it, and josh had been contacted to resolve the situation. I wrote it because the forums were being flooded with panic posts. It did actually stop the panic posts as it was supposed to.

PSAs were never meant to be about creative. They were meant to be important announcements about the forum.

I don’t think you are automatically able to delete unused tags, but it is possible to bulk delete them manually. Maybe I’ll contact Jeffo once this conversation is over.

Alright sure. Do you think it should be able to apply both to the forums and GKC?
