These tags serve no purpose whatsoever. There are several in the for sale forum like this. They are worthless to anyone looking for a yorkie. I sure wish you could put a sticky somewhere and also the repercussions for abusing the tag system. Thanks.

Certainly sounded like a complaint to me. I do agree that ignorant and abusive ones should be removed and people should be addressed for using them.
I guess your example and description were just a bit confusing to me.

My advice to Sugar's mom or anyone else who finds a tag unbearable, report it to Admin or one of the moderators. Trust me -- they have no problem at all in deleting things from YT. Just keep in mind censorship can be a dangerous sword to wield. I don't really notice tags unless someone points them out. I haven't been used to looking for them so don't normally read that far down the page. I don't think too many really notice them. I only found out they existed a few months ago. So I would not lose any sleep over them.

I have seen some posts mention tags in the sales forums that reflect BYB or the like, but there is usually evidence in the thread to back that up. Have not seen insulting, abusive ones in question though so cannot say how I would think about them. To tell the truth, I might start subconsciously looking for tags now that I have read this thread.

Reading the "Chicago girl" tag makes me think maybe some people tag their own threads to find them easier? Maybe they don't realize they can get their list of posts by going to their profile? Just a thought....
