Having said that though, maybe it's just me that sees the possible confusion, and followers on Instagram are a lot smarter than I'm giving them credit for.....

I see what you're saying now, and yeah that might be confusing especially for people who don't know what Let's Date is. I am glad they're not using SG pics for the Let's Date promos though!

Realistically, there are just too many idiots out there that should know better, but just don't give a damn - and that's the problem. There's no personal accountability where their actions are concerned - they don't see the women they do this to as people, because they haven't met them, and they don't want to admit they are wrong because of that. You also have to consider the anonymity that we allow here. We don't exactly go by full names or anything, and understandably so - but because of that, there are individuals out there who go "they'll never know who I am, so fuck it" and be the epitome of human slime.

Anytime someone invents a new tag, their name is associated with it from then on. So when a user uses tags to describe how "PG" sets are in a new way, you can see who did it. If you click a tag, and it shows only one set ever tagged that way, odds are the name you saw just invented it.

So you can often see who's doing this with a click or two. You can spot one or two on todays set of the day already. I see one of our most persistent boors is up to his usual.

That being said, I suspect an attempt to publicly pillory these users will sometimes work.... and sometimes cause a high drama backlash. That would rather defeat the point of trying to make the site a more pleasant place for everyone.

There was a policy/subroutine early in the days of tags that if three of your tags were deleted, your tagging privileges were revoked for several months.

That policy did tend to hit everyone who tagged, just taking longer to hit the more responsible taggers, and hitting the worse and more prolific taggers sooner.

I imagine a variation on this approach might help: Age out one 'bad' tag from each user's tally every few months, so users tagging responsibly wouldn't hit the limit. And flag anyone who hit the limit for mod review to see if they needed a "that's not how we do things around here" form letter, or in the most extreme cases, a tap from the hammer of zot.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but is it not the first person to use that tag has their name associated with the tag?

for instance, if you had to use my arbitrary tag 'flying squirrel', it wont say baudot did the tag, it will still come up as Vassilis.

Therefore, it is potentially possible that the one person is not using the tag, more that one person is using the tag. So one person can loose tagging rights even though joesoap is using the tag.

The person who invented the tag has their name shown under it. Back when they used to ban people for having the girls veto their tags, (I may be wrong about this) it was the person who posted the tag, not who invented it, who had their tagging privileges suspended. If it worked the other way... well, yes, that would put the tag-ban on the wrong person more often than not.
