Mod note, re: Tags, f-locking

[rihani.livejournal.com]

I just went through and cleared out a whole bunch of tags that were cluttering up the tags list. For various reasons, but almost all of them were for misspelled words/typos. So if I could please ask that you actually look through the tag list when you go to tag your fic, rather than entering in your own -- unless you've verified that the tag you want to use doesn't already exist -- I would really appreciate it. It's time-consuming on my part to go through and remove redundant tags.

I'd like to keep the tagging simple, so some guidelines:

• rating (g, pg, pg-13, r, nc-17 -- this is how they are established in the tags)
  
• your name (so if that's not listed, feel free to add it)
  
• the team(s) (full team names, starting with the city, rather than nick names; these should all be listed already, at least for the NHL)
  
• players (full names, and no person a/person b tags, please!!)
  

This will hopefully save the tags list from filling up too quickly again, and then I won't have to spend an hour clearing it out again. :-) Keep in mind, we only have 1000 tags to work with, and while that may seem like a lot, when you think about how many different people write how many different players, our tags list gets quite the workout! In case you're curious, here is a complete list of all our tags currently in use.

Thanks everyone... if there's any problems or questions about this, please let me know!

One more thing: I'm heavily leaning toward making this comm where all the posts are, by default, friends-only. This is mostly due to a lot of "outing" of fic going on outside our insular little communities, and some other smaller issues. I'm mostly curious about people's opinions at the moment, so let me know what you all think about that, please?

It doesn't actually tell me what the number count is on the management page. *pokes it* That'd be a helpful addition, wouldn't it?

[zdarovyeh.livejournal.com]

751 according to the quick and dirty count method I just did.

...either you cleaned up a LOT of typo'ed tags, or there's something funny going on. *headscratches*

I've got 752.. I did remove an awful lot of them, but I wasn't counting as to how many.

[zdarovyeh.livejournal.com]

Since the limit is 1000 and there was that post last week that no more new ones could be created (which I also saw when I was trying to tag a post a couple weeks ago), that seems to suggest you deleted 248.

Which just doesn't seem right.

[rihani.livejournal.com]

It's... possible. But that does seem like an awfully high number, doesn't it? I have no idea.

So I was looking through the taglist too, and I saw a couple more sort of redundant ones, I don't know if you guys want us to alert you or not or if you'll be fixing those as well, but here's the ones I caught:

Alex Kovalev/Alexei Kovalev
Sidney Crosby/Sindey Crosby (which I admit made me lol)
Sergei Fedorov/Sergei Federov
Nicklas Lidstrom/Niklas Lidstrom/Nick Lidstrom
Martin Biron/Marty Biron
Joffrey Lupul/Joffey Lupul
Philadelphia Flyers/Flyers

I think that's all I caught, though Olie/Olaf Kolzig is still on the list. And theres a 'drabble' one that I'm not sure if it's particularly relevant or not. I'll stop now! XD

No, tell me if I missed stuff! Please! :-) Thanks... after a while, you just stop missing the less obvious stuff.

[skye-chan14.livejournal.com]

No problem. XD I was looking for all my tags that I've used and started to notice things. I'm still laughing at Sindey Crosby.

There's also a Kavid Krejci. :D
