Whenever you respond to a discussion on mylot it shows a window asking you to leave tags. I confess, I press the skip tags everytime.
What about you? Do you leave tags or just skip? Can anyone tell me what happens or what we can get if we contributed tags?

I always try to put tags on discussions, espeically if there are none or if the number tagger has been at it again. Some person goes around myLot and puts all numbers in tags.

hey, that's what I do too. I usually don't see the point of adding tags to discussions I've replied to so I usually skip it.

I actually always do. To be honest, though, I do not have an idea what would happen or what we could get if we contribute tags.
Personally, I only put tags to help out the starter of a discussion. Of course, if anyone would use the myLot search engine and a particular discussion has lots of tags, its chances of being shown to a myLot search engine user, and its chance of receiving a response or contribution from the same would probably be higher.
More importantly, as a golden rule subscriber, I just do unto others what I want others do unto me. Happy myLotting, sir! ;)

Well if i don't have any good tags to add i just press skip. But i do leave tags every now and then. Tags are helpful when you're searching in mylot. It makes it easier for everybody. Just be sure to put tags that are relevant to the topic/subject.

I always make it a point to tag my discussion before sumbitting it finally! So far I think I must have tagged all of my discussions except for one or two comments which really don't require any tags as such! Mylot forum is basically a data Bank and we are helping the Data Bank in storing the properly in an organised manner so that it can be easily retreived in case it is required! It is just like labelling a file in your File cupboard. It is your tag to your discussion which will give recognition to your discussion and it will help to locate your discussion with the help of search! So it is important to tag your discussion as it is for ypour own benefit ! I even some times over tag the discussion and then I am asked to restrict my tags to ten only! Hope henseforth you are going to tag your discussions instead of skipping them!

Yes I leave tags when I response to discussions here. Its because i believe that tags really contribute a lot if we are looking for certain discussions and topics. But sometimes I also skip that when I see that the tag that I will be writing already exist. There would be no use writing it anymore.
