Why so many posts in this forum are tagged [devnet]?
-
I don't think we need to worry too much about "useless" and/or redundant tags. It should be quite easy for some admin at one point to automatically combine similar tags and delete obviously bad ones.
Few minutes of messing with the database against hours manually adding and removing tags from posts.... :(
Of course the elf being in town and the 2pts may be a good incentive for not very "smart" use of time.... :)

Just to confirm this, we have a Tag back-end where we can remove and merge tags with just a few clicks.

And just think about this: by all of these posts and discussions finally a wiki page was bor about "Tagging":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Tagging , which I've just translated to Hungarian, and there are some other translations, so sooner or later, but there will be a nice and useful tagging system. Merging and deliting is done by admins and we can take a rest :)

Just a quick note that "devnet" and "beta" has been pruned out, the wiki page CreMindES links to above has more info about "bad" tags.

So the clean up has started.

Yes, it has been.

And to answer the question that always comes up then:
No, you cannot hijack points from another user by re-adding the tag yourself. The points will be reassigned to the original tagger in the night, when some magic script cleans up the stuff.
