I've considered switching to those, but I would want the multi-prefix addon probably if I were to do so.Got 'em turned off... as there is no consistency on what users may use. That's why I usePrefixes
instead. They are consistent and easy to filter upon in the category node.

It's one of the things I love most about XF (along with the custom fields).
That's "great" if YOU are the only one using the "tagging"... how do you address when your users are using said "tagging" and tagging with words spelled incorrectly, or with tags that have nothing to do with the topic at hand? Generally we are referring to a forum and not a blog here... as most of us run forums and very few blogs.For me the main advantage is when you have different content types, you can present the appropriate results to your users with clever tagging site wide.
Defined tags. Global, per forum or content type.tags that have nothing to do with the topic at hand?
Simple too, use tag aliases. Dogz will be converted to dogs automatically.How exactly will a tag of "dogs" work when someone uses the tags "dawgs" or "dogz"?
Then they don't meet the true defintion of "tags"... tags are user created.. not pre-defined. Pre-defined fit more into the role of "prefixes", no matter how one tries to rebrand it.Defined tags. Global, per forum or content type.
Yah... and how many of the current scripts actually DO that... I haven't come across one yet. I can give you theoretical answers for most any question you put forth.. what we have to deal with is reality in the here and now.Simple too, use tag aliases. Dogz will be converted to dogs automatically.
I don't ask question and I live in the here and now. And the software I use CAN do that.I can give you theoretical answers for most any question you put forth.. what we have to deal with is reality in the here and now.
If XF.. no, not natively it cannot "do that".I don't ask question and I live in the here and now. And the software I use CAN do that.
or they can simply reduce the work load and not allow tags... tags were the "in" thing for a period of time... but honestly, most people don't even pay attention to them any longer and don't take the time to even use them. In fact, some recommendations I have seen are suggesting getting away from tags... as they have been over used (think spammed) in many aspects and no longer serve the purpose they once did.the staff should also have an eye on the tags, then you don't even need modern software.
Of course not XF. Used that script for 8 years, never again.If XF.. no, not natively it cannot "do that".
