About the Meta category

Discussions and Feedback about the Tagtool.org community forum.

This is a place is for those who want to go beyond merely reading and posting, to work toward improving our community together. Meta is a place for debate and evaluating direction.

It is also community memory, documenting the history of your community and its culture. There’s a story behind every evolution in rules or tone, and these shared stories bind communities together. Meta is the home for all the tiny details that make your community unique: its terminology, its acronyms, its slang.
