Tagging other members

[desert]

It would be great if we could tag other members so we can remember who they are or what they do:

Example:
- Professional Orchestrator
- Amateur Mixer
- This guy knows his stuff
- Not really helpful guy

HI, interesting suggestion... let me think about this.

For me it's a trust thing. I would believe a member who suggested I record a different way if I knew his background (and have already tagged him as a professional recordist)

Hope I'm making sense

- Not really helpful guy

Would you really tag someone with this?

Would you really tag someone with this?

It was just an example and only you would see the tag

I would tag you as "Knows how to midi orchestrate" based on your CSS Rober track. So any other post you comment with regarding tips and tricks about midi orchestrating, I would believe or at least presume you know what you're talking about

While I like the general idea of tagging usernames I am not with you marking people with that kind of "attributes" either good or bad ones. This leads to people to put certain members into categories which I find neither useful nor objective which could be more important thing to me. I am of the opinion that the people who regurlarly attend the forum already know who can do this and that and not. The basic idea is not that bad by itself though.

Have to agree with Alexander here.

 

[Jdiggity1]

[Guffy]

Please don't. This isn't High School, where we point out who the popular kids are.

I'd tag you all as 'Pessimist'.

I may be mistaken, but I took the OP to mean "tag for my own use," not a public brand of praise or shame. If such labels were private, they could be useful, especially for those who rarely visit the site.

I agree with those who argue that public labels are not a good idea. Although it might be quite entertaining.

Yes , that would be fine , then.

this was my take on it also

On the other hand, if they were public, it would be almost like a mud-slinging election in which people call each other names -- enormously satisfying and fun for all.

You are joking probably but one thing that makes me despair for our future is that so many people seemingly do enjoy that .

I like your sense of humour...exactly what that forum needs in the end. Amen.

Maybe I wasn't clear - but I meant the tagging is for private/your own use ONLY. There's no way it would work if it was public haha.

Edit: Again, people would never see what you tagged the other members as.

Then this is a good idea!
