Random navigation - remember type of release
Would it be possible to remember the type of release when it's clicked on the "Random" link? On average, 5-6 out of 10 clicks will result cracks. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against them, but I'm much much more interested in demo scene releases showing up randomly rather than cracked games. So, some kind of a filter would be great there. |

Wait. I don't need them ugly tags! I just need the navigation function working again, like in the good old days. :'( |

What good reasons are there to expect that tags invented by any user would be used with any kind of consistency? (Getting a bit off topic here... sorry.) |

Thank you Perff!
@Frantic: reliance/moderation? Same as for credits, or in fact any user submitted info on the site. I guess. |

Perff, could you put some light on why tags will be not supported? decisions about new tags could be managed by mods. |

it has been told often enough. they wont improve anything, and we dont believe in the "1000 monkeys" and web 2.0 bullshit. |

I'd really like to hear perff's or other inmates' opinion. because I havent so far. Convince me it's not only Groepaz' personal opinion :)
there's an obvious demand to mark stuff with sid type, has vsp or not etc etc, and from time to time new ideas like those arise. moderated tags would solve this nicely.
btw, also having people's fave demos/sids/pix/etc in lists in tags or anyhow done technically would rule. would make people to explore more releases. |

Although I'm also more or less against web 2.0/ajax/social bullshit, seems to me that tags would be quite useful for finding related releases.
F.e. tagging some pictures with the "samurai" or "OMG" tags would help us find all those lovely hidden gems on the site.
+ It's quite easy to implement, at least give Oswald a chance :) Tags have been proven very useful on numerous sites (just look at IMDb, the portal CSDb was based on). |
