Davroth Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Ok, so I noticed that the application forum has dropped the use of custom tags in favor for a selection of predetermined tags, all of which species (and the FiM cast tag).Here's the problem, though. There are already the prefixes that do exactely the same. I used the tags up to now for things like showing if the application is final or wip, or to indicate the affiliation to an organisation. I know that only does anything when enough people do it, but I thought it was a nice touch, so others could see before opening the application that the character is a shadowbolt or maybe even where the OC is from.Anyway, I guess the core of my question is why the prefixes are the same then the predetermined possible tags.

Loopy Legend Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I second this, the ability to show organizations or other things that your pony is a part of, or something else important to the pony is a plus idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Moving topic to RP question section. :Luna: :Luna:Just continue to use [WIP] or [FINAL] etc in the topic title.For the RP helpstaff to look out for tiny little grey tags to find out your application's status is a pain in the arse.The new prefixes are for organisational reasons.Not everything we change here are specifically for the User's benefit. Need to help the staff too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davroth Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 No, Artax, I get that, and that's not what my question is about.I'd just like to know what the rational is to make the prefixes the same as the possible tags. It just seems redundant to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davroth Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 So it is not possible to use the tags independent from the prefixes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Legend Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Could there be a way to suite both parties here, keep the current system where the coloured prefexes are. But also allow custom tags to be put in after the prefixes take the first and primary slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
