I must admit, it is very tempting to remove the "at" here. It is not a useful tag - it is an example of "talking through tags", which clutters up the database.

Basically they are intended to help others search for and filter out your work, not your amusement.

sounds kinda anal retentive to TBH. I question how much of a database is used up by tags and if so much is used up why have them? Perhaps a better system for sorting submissions could be implemented if we are going to get this nit picky. Not all my tags were like that. Often they were directly related to the image and would draw attention to the subject matter. Humor aside. I forget some of us lack that social cue. which is why i suggested a drop down menu to sort submissions by type Ie macro muscle wolf etc Humor/ comedy so the tags can just be picked and added on.. The whole point of coming here was to escape malarkey on FA and its starting here now. One big reason backing up my FA gallery here was staff issues. Please dont let that happen here.

They won't fix it, weasyl is as bad as FA and IB these days.
First they screw the site up with the new thumbnails and now the troll tagging feature, going on the thumbs and the fact they haven't even attempted to fix them means the new tagging system is here to stay.
I think the staff are going out of their way to anger people.
