Title: Meta tagging? Someway to put an end to this..
Post by: TreyWingo104 on June 03, 2012, 03:33 pm
This is gonna get ugly.
I just logged on and saw a .01 BTC coin listing for SR t-shirts....I had to click on it to see if someone HERE had actually thought of this brilliant idea....Anyways, I scroll down and see fucking meta tags?  are you kidding me?  that just pissed me off as a buyer/vendor.  The idea in and of itself isn't what gets me, it's that they had tags like xaNax, weed, etc.  What the fuck does that have to do with a t-shirt that's on some other site and is a horrible idea in the first place?  Should anybody be paying you for that shirt, last thing, and most important one, why do I have to look at this shit when I'm ACTUALLY TRYING TO BUY XANAX, or actually trying to sell it?

 Keywords should be in the sentences that describe a product. 'nuff said.

This isn't fucking youtube. to vendors doing this, I wont name drop. but lets keep it clean please?  SR admin, it seems like a new trend and my belligerent rant above is not directed at you, but at the vendors who are "meta- tagging" the shit out of (usually) listings that aren't drugs like digital goods and this dumb-ass t-shirt reference item .  It just comes across as desperate, ugly, cheap, and overall clusters items up in a way that makes it difficult for buyers to sort through their options, and eventually it will force vendors to have to put a bunch of b/s to keep up .

The whole idea of  ACTUAL meta-data (which i know this isn't) is completely against what SR stands for.  So really I hope people start seeing this and that at the very least its limited to say 5 keywords which can be added through a KEYWORD section.  That t-shirt item is straight up spam, and its too bad because a legitimate item could be up on the front  board that a vendor is actually putting his/her ass on the line for, and that a buyer actually WANTS/NEEDS.

thanks
