Changes to Tags

[skieswideopen]

So toodamnpretty has been skirting the limit on the number of tags for a while now. Actually, we've hit it a few times, and I've dealt with that by some pruning and combining of similar tags. However, that only gets us so far. In order to be able to continue properly tagging posts, I think we probably need to get rid of a category of tags. So I'm asking you, dear community, to tell me which tags you would least object to seeing eliminated.

Which category of tags should toodamnpretty eliminate?

Character
5 (35.7%)

Description
7 (50.0%)

Fandom
2 (14.3%)

Also, as always, I encourage anyone who's interested to come sign up to play host for a week (or two). Right now we have three of the next four weeks covered, and that's it.

IMO and personally: I think fandom and character are useful (character less so, since with an actor name I can search for the character). The description tag is much less so. It would be nice if those were things like "woman", "Asian", "action films", etc. The "all the feels" sort of tags are just ... well. If the people being featured weren't people the posters find hot, awesome, amazing, and so forth, they wouldn't be featured, yes? Those Tumblr-style tags contribute very little to the posts that I can find, and would be more appropriate in the posts themselves, for explanations of why the person is being featured.
