Is it important to add tags to your discussions. I usually don't, but I have noticed others do. What do you think.

Another reason why tags are important is that we are suppose to search the myLot search bar to make sure we are not creating duplicate topics. Duplicate topics are not allowed and they do get deleted. There are many members who will start discussions saying that their discussions were deleted and they did search the search bar. The search bar cannot find a discussion that is not properly tagged and or had no tags. No search engine can actually. I do tag almost all discussions I participate with. Another reason too is that if you properly tag them and are similar to other discussion then they come up to the right here when they are similar to others.----------------------------

When you open this discussion you will see to the right all similar discussions if they are similar. This allows many others to see and participate in your discussions as well if it is similar to the other.

I don't think they are that important for the user to put in, because they are automatically added by mylot.

Mature content is a filtered one which will be automatically added by the script if one uses any type of mature content type wording.

I always try to add tags to everything I post, and what I comment on. It makes is easy for others who are searching for a certain discussion or image. And you can bet I'll be tagging this discussion as well :P

I think tags help make it easier for people to search for your posts/discussions. I think tags also help to promote mylot by attracting traffic to it, in the sense that they make mylot more visible in search engines.
