Hi everyone, I'm Ginny79 Community Center Say Hello! by Ginny79 …; This has left me quite perplexed, as I don't recall creating an AWS account previously. **I'm looking for advice… Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani As you may recall, I've been working on cleaning up tags for quite … Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim … away from the post I am working on. As I recall, the geeks lounge used to be an area where we… Re: A reliable way of detecting AI content? Hardware and Software Cloud-based Apps by lucytaylor01 Copyleaks and AI Text Classifier are the popular tools for identifying your AI content. Re: Hi everyone, I'm Ginny79 Community Center Say Hello! by Dani I suppose I'm confused why you can't just do a lost password reset? Re: Hi everyone, I'm Ginny79 Community Center Say Hello! by Lethabo Can anyone here help me build "SRD application status check" tool that checks the live status of the SASSA application and takes data from the SRD website. Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani You may have noticed a lot of topics, primarily older topics, currently don’t have any tags. Tags were deleted that did not fit our current criteria of representing a reasonably popular technology, and/or could not reasonably be consolidated or merged with any existing tags. I plan to work on our old auto-tagger from years ago and see if we… Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani OK ... and without further ado, the results of this (seemingly never-ending) project: We've reduced from 9541 tags down to only 212 tags by completely removing tags that did not meet our criteria (e.g. tags that did not represent a technology), but, in most cases, consolidating tags into larger categories, by synonyms, etc. ~200 tags is … Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani I've implemented a permissions change in which non-newbie community members (members with more than 15 reputation points) can no longer create new tags. The reason for this change is because it brings us closer to my reason for implementing tags in the first place. The world of programming was going through a growth spurt and there were lots of … Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by rproffitt So to create a new tag one only needs to create a new account (newbie)? Seems odd but I know I avoid tag creation because reasons. Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim >members with more than 15 reputation points Perhaps she meant "less than" Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Sheyna28 No, I meant what I said and said what I meant :) I think so, anyways? Members with more than 15 reputation points (non-newbies) used to be able to create new tags. They no longer can do so. Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Sheyna28 Ugh, there I go posting as my test account again. I really should finish working on this feature I'm working on before posting more. Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani > Code is locked! Wait, huh? Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani > So to create a new tag one only needs to create a new account (newbie)? Seems odd but I know I avoid tag creation because reasons. Oh, I see. Yes, newbies were never able to create tags. The notable change here is that non-newbies previously were, and now they aren't as well. Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani Just moderators and staff writers now, I’m afraid. I thought that was implied when I said, given the overhaul, “I think it makes sense to make the ability to create new tags more of a moderated one.” :) Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by SCBWV I had to laugh reading this thread AFTER reading the "Writing and speaking clearly" thread. Thanks for the chuckle. Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani I just want to clarify that there are no new tagging rules. For about a decade now, nearly all members would get an error message if they tried to tag something with a tag that didn't already exist. The change is that now *all* members get the error message, as opposed to nearly all (with the exception of moderators, but we still don't want … Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani I also just want to quickly add that the goal is to make the tagging system useful. Tagging things with lots of niche keywords might make it easy to post, but it doesn't really add much value aside from that. Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim A while back a large number of people were asked what were their biggest concerns at work. One of the top (if not THE top) complaint was feeling stupid at work. At this point I may be right but I fear that I am supremely off. One of us is missing the point and I hope it isn't me. Let's take an example that could easily come up but isn't … Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani > I think that what will end up happening is people picking a non-relevant tag just because they are forced to pick a tag but get frustrated at trying to guess one, or can't be bothered to peruse several hundred approved tags for a reasonably close match. That's why I said that it's [a UI/UX issue](https://www.daniweb.com/posts/jump/2297747),… Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim Ah. I see the typical user gets presented with twenty (ish) tags rather than the five I get. Still a very small subset of the total available tags, but better. I still don't see that as an ideal solution though. Perhaps consider my "no tags needed for geeks lounge" suggestion since geeks lounge is a catch-all. In the mean time if I have … Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani > Would it be feasable to scan the title and post body for words and auto-populate a suggested tag list with possible fuzzy matches? That's simple enough to try but with only ~200 tags sitewide, the 20 options should pretty much cover all use cases within the forum chosen. (Note they must choose at least one of the 20, while you get the … Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani ... Also, I haven't found a topic yet that isn't at least a reasonable match for one of our existing tags. Top discuss favorite movies, I would maybe use 'streaming-service' or 'multimedia'. If there are *enough* questions all being asked about movies and TV shows, then we can add a tag about it. The same as when we used to add a new forum in the … Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani Also, for the Geeks' Lounge, I suppose it does make sense to add an 'entertainment' tag. I think I can find enough pre-existing topics that would be a good fit for that. Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani ... Or perhaps your TV shows question would fit within the 'home-theater' tag? Would it be appropriate, for example, to post your question within a "Home Theater Forum"? I think so, right? Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim Home-theatre? Absolutely. I wouldn't have thought to look for that one. Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Dani > Think of tags like subreddits. You don't start a new topic and then try to pick from one of the many, many existing subreddits which is the best fit. You first find a subreddit about a topic you're interested in, and then start a new topic within it. I think this is the best way I can describe it. I agree I have a user experience issue when… Re: Cleaning up tags Community Center Meta DaniWeb by Reverend Jim [This thread](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/542098/unable-to-correctly-recognize-license-plate-number-in-halcon#post2297796) was tagged as "c" but it is not c code.
