Same here. A big, fat 'Blade' or 'Spongefreak52' can get a little annoying.

No offence to any of the members' names up there, I just think that it kinda' defeats the object of tags. We could easily see threads people have posted in their profile.

And Sponge, thanks again for the help with my MBR; you're a Godsend!

Yeah, I have nothing against the people who do that, it's just annoying.

I agree. I have done it a few times, but then I realised that why would anyone search "RobKellas" or "Birdman" in the tags search to find a thread?

Heh, I agree. I may have gone a little overboard, but then I realized that I was getting annoyed by it, too.

This issue (not really an issue IMHO, but still an annoyance to some) was just brought up to my attention.

Easiest way to get 'em off homepage? Start moderating the tags yourselves! Heh. As long as your logged into your 3D account, you have the capability to remove and add tags on any thread on the site. Just click the X button next to the tag which you feel is inappropriate for the topic at hand. Or type in a tag and press "Add", if you feel it better categorizes the topic of the thread.

The more threads that have a specific member's name tagged in them, the better the chance there is that it will be visible on the homepage. So by moderating each thread individually, the community can choose what deserves to be an important term to be visible on the homepage tags list.

Update: Disregard what I posted. There seems to be a permissions issue which is not allowing normal members to delete and add tags. We'll work on that, but in the meantime, I guess don't add your own name into the tags!
