Title: Stupid things vendors do: "Metta Tags"
Post by: whirlwind on March 06, 2013, 06:41 am
So this is the reason the search function is so shitty-

Copied form a listing for a forged drivers license:

"Metta Tags: cannabis, oxycontin, bicoins, BTC, MDMA, speed, spores, heroin, methamphetamine, cash, vicodin, oxycodone, morphine, weed, marijuanna, ebook, methadone, NMDA, PCP, GHB, viagra, levitra, cialis, Vardenafil, Sildenafil, Seroquel, Quetiapine, norco, lortab, watson, 10mg, 5mg, 40mg, xanax, .5mg, 1mg, 2mg, alprazolam, benzos, benzodiazepines, klonopin, valium, diazepam, pill cutter, apple bags, drug baggies, ziplock, red dice, Pseudoephedrine, merchandise, silk road, adobe, illustrator, photoshop, acrobat, pro, dreamweaver, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6, CS7, M357, depakote, Wellbutrin, Bupopion, Divalproex Sodium, fireworks, qvar, Beclomethasone Dipropionate, thailand, redbull, original, synthesis, flexeril, cyclobenzaprine, epipen, shot, Adrenaline, Epinephrine, leaf, yellow bus, neon, orange, stash can, free, organic, chemistry, ID, service dog, guide, badge, fake, drivers license, passport, social security, hacking, internet, cyber, American Red Cross, CPR, First Aid, AED, auto, insurance, digital copy, florida, hawaii"

Fortunately respectable vendors dont partake in this junk and the majority of SR vendors are respectable.

Is there any way to clean this up?

One way to help would be for SR to implement more detailed filtering so users would have to use search less often.

And there's that "report vendor" function they implemented, don't know if that's actually effective?

Doesnt matter, the search function is useless, try typing something really weird in and it will still return a thousand results. Apparently if you type something like "e cig" then it will give you every listing that contains "e" in it. Its just a dumb poorly coded function.
