    The tagging system in phun is being abused by a small group of idiots and i was thinking about a way to stop it.

    There are five tag spaces, could the numerals 1,2,3,4 + 5 be allowed into the system so anyone who wants to start a thread and not have the tags abused could fill up the remaining spaces with numbers?

    Or could the amount of tags be reduced to say three?

    actually this tag-system was implemented to improve the "search". mostly because many don´t use it, but also because it´s just childishly abused i´d say remove it again.

    Good idea. I say that would work.

    See the tags in this thread for your answer. He's so dumb he's managed to ban himself on every single account he's ever made.

    I agree.

    Failing its removal, I like that idea also.

    It would be a shame to see a feature on phun go because of this one person. In his lonely little world it would be a victory to him.

    well... in the end - who cares about a small "victory" for him? remove his "toys" and he´ll be gone some day.
    looking for another "victory", bug? here you are...
    there are already people who´s enthusiasm for phun dropped significantly - either because they are annoyed that you obviously enjoy destroying their phun-times or do have to spend a lot of time cleaning up your hate-motivated mess. it would be the real shame if mainstays of phun left because of someone who had his chance to sort out things long time ago and wasted it.

    just leave, bug. better for you and for phun. seriously. get a life.

    Unfortunately, Jamms, that's the way of the World! X% of the World's population are reasonable, rational folk who just want to find a niche in life, earn a living, procreate, bring up a family, have some fun with their families and friends, and aspire to peace and prosperity without ever becoming a burden to anyone! The other (100-X=Y)% are the thickos, weirdos, dick-heads, shit-heads and parasites for whom most of the laws and rules are written! And unfortunately the laws and rules restrict and curtail the activities of the X%, mainly to attempt to control the Y%!

    And before anyone argues, I admit to exaggerating for effect! ;)
