[eng] Proposal for good behaviour concerning tagging. in order to ease solve of "tagging" conflic, and to make them more usefull
1 - When someone add a tag, it would be better if one precise it in comment of the sentence, in order for the sentence owner to keep trace of it (and people who commented the sentence, especially if the tag is the result of a conflict in the comments)
So that it will be easier to react to tag if someone disagree, and for the tag owner, to be warned when someone comment on the sentence (especially to ask for removing the tag, like for @change flag etc.)
Moreover it will decrease the number of people thinking this or that user is doing some vendetta on his/her sentences
2 - Do the same for moderators or tags owner when they remove a tag, so that it add more transparency.
So that user can ask for the removal of any tag that has not been justified by the one who added it.
---------------------
Now concerning tag:
As Swift started it some moths ago (as requested by Trang) I will also try to start to remove all the useless tag ( I will keep a thread on the wall about it), in order to remove "troll tags", and tags which have already an equivalent.
And by so I will try to keep somewhere a list of troll tag that I don't want to see on Tatoeba
-------------------
If people disagree with this, or agree, or want to add something, feel free to do it. ( I have something to do, and then I will provide a French version of it, but if someone wants to do it, same for other languages, especially esperanto, german and spanish, it would be really appreciated)

1) Tags are visible to anyone, so they should convey universal information, useful to everybody.
Tags that are moral judgements, such as "XXX" and "not for safe search", as they are not even defined and cannot be, by any standards, have nothing to do on sentences either. I suggest they be removed once and for all.
People can always create private lists according to their own private moral or religious standards, which are none of other people's business, and certainly not mine.
2) Tags containing the character ":" do not work if you click on them from the sentence, in order to consult the corresponding list.
The character ":" should be replaced by something else...

Tags can be very useful but certainly have to be handled thoughtfully, to avoid an evolution into chaos. I’m sure we will easily agree that the number of (different) tags used shouldn’t grow unlimited. I’d like to make a rather simple first proposal to make it easier to overview the list of tags. If possible I’d prefer all quotation tags (all tags beginning with “by”) to be filtered away and presented in a separate list. What’s your opinion on that?
Etikedoj povas esti tre utilaj, sed certe oni traktu ilin kun pripenso, por eviti evoluon en kaoson. Mi estas certa, ke ni povos facile konsenti, ke la nombro de (diversaj) uzataj etikedoj ne kresku senlime. Mi deziras fari sufiĉe simplan unuan proponon, por plifaciligi superrigardon de la etikedo-listo. Se tio eblas, mi preferas, ke ĉiuj citaj etikedoj (ĉiuj etikedoj komencantaj per “by”) estu elfiltrataj kaj prezentataj en aparta listo. Kion vi opinias pri tio?

I think this is a great idea.

in the future, I will introduce meta information on sentences so that all these tags will become
meta:
key value
author : (Victor Hugo/Willian B. Yeats)
rather than the "one block" current tag system

I would really like to remove all the tags for sentence patterns. For example: SVO, -as, ます。, as ... as, 2nd Person, etc.
I don't think these tags are at all useful for most users. If certain users want to keep track of these thing for their own projects, they can use lists.

>"I would really like to remove all the tags for sentence >patterns."
I understand that they may be not very useful in the eyes of many, but I can assure you that they are of essential importance for others.
