If you spend any time in the Heavies you may have noticed the use of thread prefix tags for thread categories.
Examples being: Rumoured, Question, Media and Confirmed.
One useful feature of these tags is the ability to only show threads with a particular prefix by clicking on the tag.
We're looking to introduce similar tags for threads in the War Room, and are taking suggestions for particular tags, or the categories of tags, we should use here.
At the moment we are thinking along the lines of broad political categories, but alternatives can also be suggested and discussed.

Some initial ideas are:

Economy/ Business
International Relations
Law
Elections/ Polling
Social Issues

Keep in mind we are limited to around 5 - 7 tags, so we're not looking for complex nomenclature flow charts.

Thanks.

Your suggestions here

Breaking
Foreign Policy
Domestic Policy
International (if FP is too US-centric)
Social
Opinion
 
Another thing to consider, if this would even be possible, would be to have rolling prefixes; like one or two prefixes that vary year to year.
For example: 2016-2020* we could have a Trump prefix.
For the last few months, or when RBG retires, we could have a SCOTUS prefix.

How about these:

Jews

Obamas evil/ Michelle's a Tranny Memes

Librulz

Trumps

Muslims

Mexicans


That pretty much sums up the War Room.

I forgot trannys
 
Social & Religious topics (Islam, trannies, Christianity,
International Relations (Iran, terrorism, NK, etc)
Europe (Brexit, Hungary, Poland, Germany unless specifically Muslims)
US Domestic
Breaking News
Tech & Science

I like the idea of rolling tags for a subset. E.g. during election times or when Brexit heats up etc
 
There should definitely be a “Tipping” tag in Mayberry fo sho.
 
How about amendment tags. Hahahahaha

2nd Amendment - “Why I’m a gun nut”
 
These might be a headache


(Suggest no sort of tag for random things or outrage stuff, like Two Fat Hillbillies Kill Neighbor, or Random Person Says Irrational Thing on Facebook)

Elections
Breaking
Policy
Economy
International
Terrorism
 
Also, who can edit the tags? I guess they could be used to troll.

How about "Random / Outrage"?

I tested in the wasteland and I could edit my thread tag, so presumably an OP or a mod can edit tags. Perhaps random/outrage stuff just doesn't need a tag?
 
I might suggest:

- Philosophy

- History

- "I hate things, and you should hate them too." Perhaps just a "Rage" tag.

- Extreme Politics (Avocations for more radical political theory like fascism/comunism

- The Unexplained (Conspiracy theories that are not too far out for the WR)
 
Breaking - news that is just coming out
Social - commentary on social issues
Domestic - Domestic (USA) news
International - International news

The TS controls the prefix. If we believe it isn't in the right category, a mod can make the edit.

And there will still be the option of no prefix when it doesn't fit into any of the groupings.
 
I don't believe we have enough traffic to need prefixes. Everything new is on the first two pages.

Good categories, but you seem to be describing the War Room you wish we had, rather than the sorts of threads we actually get.

Looks good!
