Excellent job with this guide, @incublus and I appreciate the English translation so those of us outside of the Turkish community can benefit from your suggestions as well!

I completely agree on the tag usage being frustrating, especially when encountering a post tagged with nothing but large curation accounts - to me it says, "I'm looking for upvotes and don't care about engaging with the community" and I tend to pass those by. I wish people would start using them as a way to help people to find specific content within a community.

For example, if I'm looking for World of Warcraft posts, I'd go to a certain gaming community...

... and click the little magnifying glass to search, which brings me to this...

.. so that way I can narrow down my choices.

If someone has written a post about WoW, and only uses tags like ocd, ocdb, curangel, appreciator, qurator - chances are people who might actually curate it, won't be able to find it.

Again, excellent job and I look forward to your second helpful post. 😊

Sort:  

okay but what loser posts about wow lol

Hey, if I were still playing, I'd be posting about it...

 
 

Oh, okay yeah, I see your point. 😂

Even though my main goal is to guide Turkish users, because as I mentioned, the amount of Turkish resources on this topic is very limited, I also want it to be a global article because these mistakes don't only happen in our community.

The examples you gave are very illustrative. People should first use tags that are really relevant to their writing. Using these tags looks bad, as you mentioned, and I know that no curator cares about them, to be honest.

Congratulations for giving an example of posting in the right community, using the right tags and engaging with the community at the same time 😅.
