Region Tags!

[Mahaj]

Currently the No WA Campaigning tag is duplicated by the existence of the No GA Campaigning tag and the No SC Campaigning Tag. To make things easier for authors, could the No WA Campaigning Tag be removed, leaving the No GA and No SC ones intact? That way, delegates don't lose out on any choices, and life is made easier for campaigners.

You're technically correct, but the reason for the difference is to provide optionality for players who are only interested in one of the chambers. Campaigners are the only beneficiaries of this, and Delegates lose a bit of freedom of choice. You still would have to expand the and <x> others link if one or the other is hidden. I fail to see how looking for two possible tags is more difficult than looking for just one.

It's actually fairly annoying. The way I use these tags when I lobby is by opening both of the lists of regions which use them in different tabs. I have to switch back and forth between the two lists often and it really is a pain in the ass. I've already screwed up once today because of it. If regions would like to establish a no WA campaigning policy that will be very closely followed by lobbyists, they should add both the No GA Campaigning tag and the No SC Campaigning tag to their tags. It is surprising how many regions use the No WA Campaigning tag without also using the No SC Campaigning tag as well. It'd make it a lot easier for lobbyists to avoid accidentally telegramming them because we'd only have one list to worry about watching while we scrolled about, wildly telegramming hundreds of people.

On the topic of "No WA Campaigning", I have been campaigning recently, and accidentally telegramed at least one, and possibly more delegates in regions with that tag. Would it be possible to make some sort of exclusion list, so I could ask not to be shown regions with a specific tag?

You may find these useful.
No GA Campaigning
No SC Campaigning
No WA Campaigning
You'll have to keep at least two of these open while you're lobbying, though.

AMOM covered this pretty well. Currently you can use the no WA campaigning tag and not the no GA or no SC, but you can also do no GA or no SC without no WA and its harder because both lists have to be checked. Removing the No WA Campaigning Tag still allows for freedom of choice.

After consultation with the Hivemind, the "No WA Campaigning" tag has been merged with both the other lists, so that all regions formerly tagged with "No WA Campaigning" now carry both tags. The "No WA Campaigning" tag itself has been removed.

Woo! Thanks, tech/mod team. That is fantastic.

[Proletaurus]

Tag 'Revolutionary' should be included to tag cloud. There are lot of people whom could easily identify themselves and their regions to that.

Absolutely

[Neohippies]

Anti-Communist tag. How about it? Just coz we also have the anti-fascist...

[Waspeaters]

There are already tags for NSWiki and Wikistates, so would it not be sensible to add an IIWiki tag?

[Fontoria]

I've got a few more tag suggestions:
1. earth-based
2. None-earth
3. rp alliance (to separate it from the general random collections of rpers)
4. Private
5. Militarist
6. activity required
7. other dimention
8. active (and the opposite)
9. anti-communist
10. anti-capitalist (seriously guys, why the hate for fascists?)
11. Anti-general assembly (gotta be politically correct)
12. Colony

I think RP alliance is a great idea. Also while I'm here, I think we should have the tag "superhero" or "comicbook" due to the growing number of comicbook fans.

Anti-socialist would be better, it would cover more including communism. There should also be anti-conservative, and anti-monarchism or republican.

[Sedgistan]

We addressed this before.

[Fontoria]

I know, but I jsut wanted to spread the ideaon a more well known thread and see what other MODS think.

[Great Jergania and Jonland]

Very Cool, but you should Revolutionary or Anti-Oppressive.

[Crushing Our Enemies]

Very Cool, but you should Revolutionary or Anti-Oppressive.

Anarchist

What about an automatic tag to display that a region's passworded?

along with one that's not automatic but only becomes an option once the region's been password called something along the lines of "Password Exclusive"

For regions like Ghologoth, and Tetrakon. Where you have to apply before you're allowed entry.

[Galiantus]

I think you meant to say this:

What about an automatic tag to display that a region's passworded?

I would also add to this idea that it might be useful to have an invisible* non-passworded tag, so that if you are looking for a region to join or invade without having to apply you don't get all the regions with passwords.

*Invisible tag: not visible on the region itself, but visible in the tag cloud, so that the obvious does not take up extra room.

[Flibbleites]

What about an automatic telegram to display that a region's passworded?

along with one that's not automatic but only becomes an option once the region's been password called something along the lines of "Password Exclusive"

For regions like Ghologoth, and Tetrakon. Where you have to apply before you're allowed entry.

What, the little padlock that's next to the move to this region button isn't enough?

[Ballotonia]

I can see value in a new system tag, "Password", to make it easier to search for regions which have one... or limit searches to regions which don't.
