Regarding Tags

242k EternalDarkness  5.7 years ago

I've noticed, over a long period of time, that many of you guys aren't using tags. My guess it that it's because you think they are pointless. So, here's a word or two on why you should use them:

  • Tags make your build easily accessible in the future. Someone who was impressed by your build will want to test it again after a month or so, but won't remember what it's called. So he'll just try to combine tags to get it. Example, your build was a fictional Nazi fighter jet. User looking for it will just use those four tags. If you haven't tagged your plane with them, the guy won't be able to find it.

  • Tagging your plane correctly will put your build into the right category, so to say. A few months ago, I wanted to fly a prop trainer. So I selected tags "Prop" and "Trainer", and went through four pages of trainers, trying out five of them. Four were good flyers, and got upvotes and spotlights. If they weren't in their correct category, I would have never found them.

So, if you want your plane to attract attention over a long period of time, use tags.

On a related note, if you need a tag that doesn't exist yet, let me know. If I conclude that the tag you are suggesting is good, I'll add it.

    What about a Fire tag? I made a Fire Plane, and the tags aren't very helpful. It is a Fictional Civilain Propeller aircraft.
    Here it is. @EternalDarkness

    I would like to see if Decade - 2020s will be added soon, as several 2020 vehicles are already coming out.

    I suggest putting in more divisions of Parts. i.e. Turrets, Subassemblies of all types, etc.

    @Bobbybuilder12 edit its description to state changes and then tag me on it. I'll reconsider it next time I'm online.

    Dude when u removed my kitt with te tops I never posted it before I didn’t just repaint it I took of the hole roof but a line threw it and made them t tops I also put a new engine in it and put a license plate on the back. So no hard feelings but I strongly disagree with your opinion on reporting my post.I am not plagiarizing somebody else’s build like it said in the rules. So please unblock my kitt with tops and then I will be happy. P.S. I really don’t want to start a fight with u and please don’t get mad ;)@EternalDarkness

    @tsampoy I've created Futuristic tag. I don't think I've changed now that I'm a mod. Except for the fact that I can ban people now :)

    By the way, can you please add a “Futuristic” or “Future” tag?
    That may help other people, with their futuristic sweep winged jet planes.

    Wow, since you became a mod, you act, and talk like a mod.
    Like non-mod tully2001 does not talk like a mod, but a mod Tully2001 talks like a mod.
