welcome to teh botb n00b! Glad to see you stuck around and dropped a ton more tracks this time around, nice job on a lot of them. Keep it up bud, it will pay off.
hi. you've been generating a list of tags and applying them to all entries in an ohb regardless of their contents. earning points by spreading misinformation is treason; please put more effort and thought into your tags. thanks
hmm.. do you have any examples? because i'm very sure i'm not doing this. i'm listening to every entry and tagging them according to their genre, feeling and things that are coming to my mind while listening. since you asked me to avoid format and similar redundant tagging, of course. i'll update them asap.
i mean... the reason of tagging is to get similar-sounding entries into one common group, or am i wrong?
i'm using some tags over and over again, indeed. but these are content-based tags and should help to find things easier.
i'm sure if i looked further than these two i clicked on in my alerts i'd find plenty. if these just so happened to be the only two by dumb luck then let me know.
i've also seen a lot of rather low quality tags that i normally wouldn't bat an eye at, but due to the Extreme (like, Extreme (10k+)) mass that you're submitting, it makes it seem just as much like a grab for points as when you were format-tagging.
if you're going to amass 6k+ points from tags alone, please put a bit more effort into them
i get your point now, but to explain why i tagged it this way: the first ohb was an intermission-music-ohb and every entry matched the "intermission-requirement". i wanted to have some similar tags, too, because there is a possibility, that other entries might be tagged with those different-similar words, and i thought it might be a good idea to have more than one tag.
and it doesn't make that much of a difference, because i dont get more than one taggist point and the tagged botbr dont get more than one alert. (but as i said, i understand your argument as well!)
i'm also trying to add more than these "generated tags" most of the time to have both the ohb-theme tagged and also the genre/mood/feeling of the track. although I would say anyway, that these kind of generated tags are more of an exception overall.
i'm not quite sure, what "low quality tags" are in detail, but i understand that i should put more effort into tagging, especially if i take the time anyway.
while i do think the tags are sometimes a little low quality, i completely understand that mass-tagging and multitagging are useful, as tags are more than something to look at on the page, they're supposed to be searched, and when there's 5 different things that could mean what you're searching for its a little difficult to see everything. i think it would be nice if sometimes they were more related to what people would search, but most entries on botb dont have any tags at all so it's better than nothing. and they're probably better than most other tags, as they are generic, rather than specific to only the entry.
well. if you genuinely think that those songs all deserve the tags you gave them, then that's fine. at first glance it looks like shortcutting, especially since most didn't have additional tags added by you except for the ones you applied to all the entries in the ohb. i'm not saying to stop btw, and i think it's obvious you're not doing it just for the points given your response(s). and to touch on my last statement in my previous comment, the overall work that goes into tagging every entry is a lot, and i recognize that. but if you're genuinely listening to every song though, then the actual tagging part of the process shouldn't (or if it does, then barely) impact the time it takes to tag due to the conception and writing taking place during the listen. i imagine you could come up with something more than the generic "squids, splatoon" that was already on your clipboard if you actually listened to my song in that ohb.
i know lol
i wrote that as a joke, because flaminglog, opus, incredible long entries...
whatever.. explanation: i give longcatislong-tags, when an entry is about 7+ min long, but depends on the song. if it's only a 3 min song with a loop, than not.
woah this took me a while to understand lol, i'm seemingly really tired uwu
anyway: yes! the current avatar is more personal, because it's drawn for me by a friend and i'm also using it as an avatar on almost every other platform (youtube, instagram, twitter etc) c:
