specially now that mylot warned us all with "Misuse of tags is grounds for account termination and will not be tolerated." i do agree that some members just add tags inappropriate on what the main topic of a discussion and some put also words that are out of this world. i know from that start that tags are important and now mylot took a note that it is. are you more careful on putting tags or you are articulate from the start?

Hmmm, I've always tagged correctly. I don't think we're guilty of this. When I read the alert, the first thing that came to my mind is a discussion I've read long ago that said she (the owner of he discussion) is tagging all the discussions she has responded to with her name (or nick), that way she can find all her discussions right away with just one search. Many have thought this is a good idea, though I think she could just accomplish this with her own list of responded discussions, right? Well this is just me thinking aloud, and I'm not 100% sure if this is really what the alert is about. But as long as we're doing exactly as we're asked/allowed, then there's no need to worry, right? Have a nice mylotting day!

wow tagging her discussions with her nick name, thats funny and silly at the same time. i guess people who does that are the ones who joined but never read the guidelines of mylot. so they think they can do anything and sometimes gets rude on people who help them. i met a few rude people who does not need help around here but i guess to each is own. thanks a lot for the response and true now that i read your response there is nothing to worry anymore

Yes, I have to be much more careful to write down the tags. I am afraid Mylot will think my tags are unsuitable. In fact it is hard to judge it in my opinion. So sometimes I even leave it blank. I love China

I will be more careful after received this warning mail about tag from Mylot, but i am sure i will still make mistake by giving a wrong tag to my discussion in the future, i am not good in tagging any discussion including mine. I can only wish i get it right each time; if not, you should not be surprised not seeing me around in Mylot from today onward, is that ok! my friend. lol!!

I never misused the tag system before. I have had some put on my discussions though that would be considered off subject. I think it's good they are paying attention to it.

Usually i put a tag on my response. I think it will useful for other people fo tracing articles. I use one or two words which related to the topic. The misuse of tags as told by the warning is tag such as "hello i am here" which somethimes you can see on some topics. Such tags are clearly have nothing related to the discussion point. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

yes i see wierd tags that are really not useful and sometimes it is not related on with the discussion itself. tags are used so we can search some discussion that we like to reply with our interest. havea nice day too and enjoy myloting, thanks a lot for the response

I don't know if I'm careful putting tags or not but I always put tags that relates to the discussion even before the warning. It was a pretty scary warning that our accounts could get terminated if we misuse the tags but I don't think a lot of people do that.

I have never used the tag function on mylot. I guess I just never really new what it was there for. I may use it now that it has been brought to my attention, but I will be careful to make my tags accurate.

thank you very much for the immediate response there bailey cows, and your avatar makes me want to run outside and get a burger har har har. that is cool that now a lot of members finally realizes what the tags are for. if we need to find discussions that we are most interested to answer wecan search it at the search abr and use the tags to show us what are those discussion. happy mylottting

Ever since I received a message from Mylot, regarding my failure to add tags to a lot of the discussions I've responded to... I have been more conscious in putting tags. I was too scared of having my account suspended for this reason.

yes this message from mylot makes us more careful or like what you said made us more caonscious to put tags. i am a member for almost two years now and get terminated or suspended because of this will really be hurting. it is also for members who does not take myloting seriously, now tehy have to think twice. thanks a lot for the response

Before I get the notification about tag from myLot, I always use a same tag for a similar discussion, Now I just try to give the other tag or put it random order. And now I never get that notification anymore and I hope I never get that notification anymore.

but still you need to be careful. the notification was send to everybody, regardless of if you are a person who put the apprpriate tags or not. its a aware letter from mylot and that addresses each one of us. the next time they find someone who will put tags that are not appropriate will be suspended. thanks a lot for the response
