Poll: Do you want the character tags to show in this subforum too, or no?

The Question

Here's what I said in Website Feedback.

Quote:

First, for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, see this recent post for an example. The character's gender, race, and class are all displayed next to the alias name; and as you can see from the following post, the tags can also be used to display all kinds of stats for the DM's convenience. They're pretty awesome, and one of my favorite upgrades -- so naturally, I want more! 8)

My preference would be for this feature to apply to the Online Campaigns subforum, so that any future sub-subfora would automatically have it too. But for now, adding it to Recruitment would be nice. Is it just me, or do other people feel the same way?

So. What do you prefer for Recruitment? To continue displaying the player's tags, or to show the character's tags instead?

Forum Placement Defense:

I already have a thread in Website Feedback aimed at the web developers. This thread is aimed at the users of this subforum, to see what they want, since there's no particular reason to expect them to read the Website Feedback subforum too.

Test.

Edit: Huh. I thought it was set up to work in all forums.

Well my vote is on having the parentheses show up in the recruitment forum too, although alias bloat is another problem that prevents people from necessarily wanting to make an alias for every game they apply to.

No, it currently only works in the Play-by-Post/Discussion subfora. And I hear what you're saying about alias bloat -- I'm very slow to make a new one myself, and tend to recycle old ones from defunct games or failed apps -- but when I do go to that trouble, I want the benefit of the character's tags showing up. That's my point.
