discussion More Tags, Less Guesswork: Can We Make It Happen?

[Jatoseju23]

Don't know how difficult it is to implement, but having more specific tags would be way more useful. For example, if a story has choices but they don’t matter, something like 'Illusion of Choice' might fit better. Or if, for whatever reason, you’ve got mandatory love interests but also choices (so it’s not kinetic), 'Forced LIs' would make it clearer.
Is it feasible to do something like that?

The general consensus is that adding new tags will mean that someone has to go through all the already uploaded games to see if the new tags applies to them and with each day that is less and less realistically possible

Too many tags might be good in theory, but in reality it will only clutter the tag list of every game. Without any kind of method to filter or sort them out on a personal basis, this will only make games less easy to sort out.

Spoiler: clarification

To be clear, I don't mean the filter of the LU or similar, but to let some tags not show up on the game thread tag list or for the LU.

Look at this...

Personally I wouldn't care if all those aren't shown in the list anymore, it would be so much shorter and easier to read. Not that games with these are filtered out, just that the tag list of game threads or in the LU won't show them anymore. I may still want them in my games, and to be honest for most of them I assume anyway that a game has theses, I simply just don't need to know that a game has these.

Also... [Forced LI] is such a niche tag, as nearly all games have "forced LIs".

Having too many tags would be hell for both uploaders and users. I think what we have now is very good, we even separate netorare, netorase and netori, and netorare for both avoidable and unavoidable.

If they are necessary tags I am totally on board, if they are too specific tags or too many tags, then it is not worth it.

More body type tags would be GREAT IMO! (tall, short, skinny, muscular etc.)

I think something like a "tree" sort of system would be nice. Like starting with whether a tag applies to male characters, female characters, or general tags or both or something. Then if it's got things like drugs, what kinds specifically? We talking about generic aphrodisiacs, or full on coke snorting? Hopefully y'all understand what I mean by tree but yeah, yeah.
