Jon Freeman Explain the BS rules (85* d) RE: Explain the BS rules 26 Oct 99


I'll be the odd one out here and say that I like the use of the tags and can't see the point in having them if they are not used in any consistent way. In the absence of any rules, I have my own policy. If a music related topic fits one the the music tags, eg. Lyr Req, I would use it. If it was a music related topic that didn't fit, e.g. Is rap folk?, I wouldn't use any tag. If it was totaly off music, I would use the BS tag.

My only wish is that it was a different abbreviation as BS to me implies Bull Shit and assuming that is what it stands for, seems to be inappropriate and I would have thought something like OT (Off Topic) would be better. Anyway that's just my thoughts as long as I can continue to enjoy Mudcat, I am not really worried.

Jon
