'Standard Tagging Procedure'

With the new site running I thought it would be interesting to facilitate a discussion on one of it's most potent new features, tagging. The system seeks, in my opinion, to make the 'individual forum board' obsolete. With the simple act of tagging #Community and #Flood you've reached twice the amount of users you would have on the Halo era B.net. Bringing your ideas to a broader audience only scratches the surface of what can be done with this new feature, but I believe there should be a set of 'standard tags' that members can use to engage the community with a greater accuracy and efficiency. Current Forum Tags: [quote]#Community #bungie #Septagon #offTopic #Halo #Destiny[/quote]These function as the old forum boards did in that you've only chosen a location to place your thread. These are the common, 'primary' ,tags that one would use on the site. I will argue that standardizing a set of secondary tags will allow for a better Bnet experience. [b]Gaming:[/b] I wander onto Bnet in search for some people to play my favorite bungie game, lets say it's ODST. How can I use the tagging system to efficiently find a party of people to play the Halo game ODST? I will first set a Primary tag: #Gamenight for the thread. This places the thread in a general category for those who are not looking for a specific game. In this case, we are setting up for a specific game so a Secondary Tag:, PlayODST, is needed. This can go on and on. [b]Suggested Gamenight tags[/b] [quote]P: #Gamenight S: #PlayCE #Play2 #Play3 #PlatODST #PlayReach [/quote] What do you think? How would you use the system? Do you think there should be some standardized taggs that the community should use?

    I think we should tag things to fit into the forums that they would go in. For example, for #playODST it should also be tagged #ODST #gamenight to make sure it shows up where it is needed. Standardized tags are good, but I would caution against making them too specific, otherwise the threads may go unnoticed.
