I'm gonna finish it. Just like Jigga did to the pyramid.

So I was thinking that the Classifieds aren't very active and for people who are searching for a active group of their specifications it would be quite hard. This caused me to stumble upon the idea of allowing group owners to categorize their groups

e.g. "Off-topic" , "Religious discussion" , "Game nights"

This would make it easier for private groups to find members, and members to find private groups.

Whaddya think?

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

Yeah. Also, you would need to limit the amount of tags, because the group owner can tag the hell out of his/her group and it will always show his/her group.

Nice idea.

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Important.

What goes here??

I like that idea.

It is a good idea, but how would it be moderated? I can imagine people using as many tags as possible, even if they don't apply.

It would be a cool idea, but, as others have already said, it would have to be controlled somehow. Perhaps a limit imposed on the number of tags and a set of generic tags to choose from could help, such as "off-topic", or "halo". Coupled with a tag for the group's name, and I could see it being a very effective system.

Maybe you could report misleading tags and groups?

sounds legit

Sure.

We had this a few years ago. Not as a feature, but a search method to find groups based on proximity to your and topics and stuff. I don't remember how it worked, but it involved changing some descriptions/location and settings of your group to a certain thing so they could be found. OTK still has all those settings in place. I'm pretty sure Cryptic made the thread.

I think sections might work better.

I like the way you think ALI, and a way someone can put his/her group into a section for: Debating, Online Gaming, Off-Topic would be epic.

All this would mean lot more work for B.net order keepers.

That's why pre-planned sections would save them the trouble.

I mean, come on guys. Don't be the guys that say, "OH ITS TOO MUCH WORK!" and be the ones that go with "LETS FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS WORK!"

Community forums need an overhaul. It gets so stale here.

If there is a demand for ninjas I'm sure the web team will appoint them. There are plenty of people on here worthy of being a ninja.

Besides this is just an idea to make this place more friendlier to new people. I'm sure the web team could figure something out assuming they build a feature like this.

Maybe you choose one from a drop down menu with preselected tags--which would include "Other" for the groups that can't be pigeonholed as easily.

I don't see the problem with reporting tags, especially if tags are going to be the major source of group searching. I just can't think of an effective reporting system yet......but give me some time.

I expect a full report along with the inner workings of this system sent to Bungie ASAP!
