I've been musing on this one for quite some time eversince I join several forums that use the same host as BG. How come we never utilize tagging system in IC threads? In my opinion, it is quite a useful way to keep on track with threads and to remind one they have pending post to write to.
I would love to hear your opinion on this. Oh if you want to know how tagging system work on forums.net, here it is: @ username (refer to the username that has been converted from old site/when you registered. It wouldn't work if you use display name and remove the space)

I just bookmark all my threads and message people when I post, I suppose this is more up to writing thread partners but it is a good tool to make note of.
True but then again almost all site I've been through (be it forums.net (or most ppl would call proboard) or jcink), they use tag system extensively and I have to say it keep me on track of my threads as well as reminding me that I have pending posts. I guess its up to the site management if they want to use it or not. //shrug

If I understand what you mean. bookmarking accomplishes the same thing, lists all my threads in descending by time of last post, and I can see if I've posted in them last.
Do you mean like, at the end of each of your posts you tag the person whose turn is next?

That's the gist of it, yeah. Bookmarking does accomplish the same thing, I agree on that (I accidentally bookmarked vent thread and hell, I got lots of email because of it). I'm just curious that's all.

How players notify their partners of a post is entirely up to the parties involved. There will never be a forced "right way of tagging someone". So if you wanna use the tagging system, just let your thread partners know and I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige.

Personally, I've been on the receiving end of that tagging system and all it does is: - Give me a notification that one of my participated threads has a new reply - Give me a notification that one of my bookmarked threads has been updated - Give me a notification that someone has tagged me in a post
