Tag - you're it!
So. Tags.
theferrett opened his tags to the world at large yesterday... and lo, the world at large came flooding in to do st00pid tags all over his entries. Dude, seriously. *laugh* Entertaining to watch, but I would never do it. Why? Well, besides the potential for abuse - most of what I use tags for so far is my Shayara stuff. Keeping track of character bits. If I let people come in and change my tags, they could accidentally delete important stuff.
But as I peruse my friends page this morning, I notice that Ferrett's not the only one - a lot of you have opened permissions on editing your tags. ('Scuse me if this makes little sense. Brainweird.)
So my question:
Why?
And if you use tags - why? What for?
