On this site does it bother you if someone tags you? Do you think it gives anyone an insight into your life that they don't have other then what you posted? Do you think it removes a feeling of privacy?
I am just curious because I tagged someone in another thread and they asked me via message not to tag them. I tagged them in a thread they had participated in because I had a question about something they posted. I never thought tagging someone would reveal anything private, but maybe I was wrong?

It wouldn't bother me at all, especially if it was in a thread I was already participating in

It wouldn't bother me. Well as long as it wasn't a call out.😄

I've tagged people so they know i'm replying to them instead quoting, especially if multiple quotes are going.
Is there a way to block your name from being tagged? Just seems like an odd request on a public message board.

Doesn't bother me unless you are going to b*tch me out in public.

Ok, thank you.
I just tagged the person asking for a little more detail about a trip they posted. No call out at all, I promise.
The person messaged me asking me not to tag them because they like to keep their private life private. I was just really asking for more info about something they had already posted, so I was kind of taken aback. I didn't think that tagging them revealed anything private, but I wanted to be sure.

That seems kind of bizarre. Unless maybe they go back and delete older things they've posted (in which case, quoting would upset them, too). If you don't want details out there, then don't comment with the details and get upset that someone asked a question related to it???

That doesn't bother me but I guess I can see how some might not like it because they may feel like they're not in control of what's happening to them online. Maybe they want to chime in on a topic but not necessarily have back and forth communication with people online. I'm just guessing because I don't know what this person's reasoning is. I guess that's the chance you take when you post online. People are going to read what you post and may want to interact with you about what you've said.

This seems odd. Why post information on a forum where tagging and quoting is frequently done if you don't want anyone to respond?

I don't see how your tagging her and asking for more info violated her privacy. If the trip was that private, she shouldn't have posted about it. I certainly don't mind being tagged, even in threads I have not yet been a part of. That calls my attention to the thread, and gives me a chance to respond.
Now if it starts to feel like stalking or taunting, then I wouldn't like it, but as for the most part: tag away!

Perhaps this person goes somewhere every year at the same time and they didn't want others to know? I wouldn't worry about it though. I appreciate being tagged because I know someone has a question I might not see later in the thread or they want to say something nice to me.  |

I thought that tagging someone is the proper way to acknowledge that you are adding to their comment or asking them a question. I don't know why someone wouldn't want to be tagged in that case.
That being said, I have been tagged and asked for information that I didn't want to provide because it was a little more personal than I cared to discuss in public. I wasn't offended or bothered that I had been asked, though. I either ignored it or PM'd to discuss further.

Oh Gosh! Tagging? I have no knowledge of this tagging you all are speaking off. Is it something to do with the app? I use an older iphone and safari to access the boards. Can you all please explain tagging to me?

houston249 , tagging is what I did to you just there. If you're set up to have the board notify you when you're tagged, you'll have seen a little bubble up near I think profile. It's the same place where you're notified if you're quoted or if your post was liked. To do it, you put the @ symbol in front of someone's user name. Be careful, because you need to use their USER name, not their display name. Yours are the same, but while my display name is Eddie-n-Harley, my USER name is eddienharley (user names are lowercase and cannot have punctuation/spaces). To tag me, you'd use eddienharley, although it will convert to my display name in the post: Eddie-n-Harley Oh! ETA! To find someone's user name (at least on your laptop/desktop, not sure about the phones), you can hover the cursor over their name above their avatar. It displays with an @ already in front of it.

Perhaps the person is confusing tagging on here with tagging on fakebook, which can lead to privacy problems? Perhaps they just have an anti-tagging policy. Other than that possibility I am with the majority of posters on this thread as I appreciate being kept in the loop on threads I have participated in and am usually happy to answer Q's and being notified is a nice shortcut.

Eh? I think they've misunderstood what tagging is, on here. It's not like facebook. Seems kind of silly, if you don't want people to know about your holiday then don't post about it on the internet.

Eddie-n-Harley Thank you! I have been trying to figure out how to tag since you all started doing it. I was completely mystified about this magical tagging thing. Thank you for the tutorial. Crossing fingers I did the tag thing right. No, I don't mind being tagged at all. It is a public forum. If I wanted to be private I wouldn't post at a public forum! You can be private and still be tagged. I am a very private in real life and a lot of instances in my online life. A couple of months back I got my first tag. I loved it. The tag was for an older post that somebody found helpful. I might have skipped that older post but because I was tagged I was able to update the post with new information.

I would not mind being tagged in the least, in fact, likely quite thrilled...and this is coming from someone who does not really participate in social media at all (no Twitter, no Facebook, no Instagram). I'm a very private person, but if I have actively participated in a thread or said something on a message board, I see tagging as simply someone's way of engaging me further in the conversation...exactly a you said, to ask a question, make a comment, etc.

It doesn't bother me, especially if it's a thread I'm actively participating in. I don't think tagging someone reveals anything other than what they have already revealed themselves. I feel exactly like crazy4scraps. If someone is concerned about privacy, don't post what you don't want people to read, agree with, disagree with, or yikes, what you might not want anyone to remember! |

I think I am in an alternate universe maybe. I am on steroids for pneumonia and my brain is going fuzzy.
She asked you not to tag her? Okay, maybe don't post anything on the message board?

Tagging doesn't bother me at all. If you post something here, everybody can read it. If somebody tags you it is just an extension of something you made public. I think ScrapsontheRocks nailed the probable reason Skellinton 's person was upset. This is what tagging looks like in my neck of the woods. I think they could use some scrapbooking lessons so the choice of font and location would be more esthetically pleasing.  SSaveSave |

I actually like when someone tags me (as long as it's not a call out thread, and they're not putting me down or trying to start a pile on, I suppose).
I feel that when someone tags me, they've connected with my thoughts on some level, or remembered me, or specifically wanted to share their thoughts with me.
