I said something like that about tags recently. I wonder if that was the post.

One possibility:

> [@Is it ok to link to threads from an external website?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-it-ok-to-link-to-threads-from-an-external-website/997104/4):
>
> Excellent idea and #photo already leads mainly to these threads in fact. If any are missing, I can go back and add the tag. I see Monthly photo competition #1 (Dec 2022) to #15 (Feb 2024) are all tagged, so it looks like everything is in place. Handy thing to link to a group of threads with the same tag, type “#” and then part of the tag name and you’ll be prompted for the tag and it will create the link like I did above.

Stronger possibility:

> [@What do outsiders not understand about the place where you live?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-outsiders-not-understand-about-the-place-where-you-live/999355/23):
>
> I’m not sure if the OP can remove the tag, but I tend to remove odd ones that were either automatically added or sometime the OP adds one that doesn’t fit the tag. If flagged, I remove them of course. Posters are tagging far more on their own now. That’s really great.
