@AdamJ sounds intriguing!

@goosehd i can deffo see your perspective and the potential headache this could cause. I wonder if perceiving it more as informal hashtagging rather than formalised/official Garment Tags may be the way to go?
For example if searching on a specific hashtag feed on a social media platform there will always be the outlier info/ random stuff in the feed that is not relevant, but on the whole you get what you need? I totally appreciate from a mod perspective it would become a huge problem if it were strictly monitored.

Lots of creative folks here I imagine would create various hashtags to pick up on certain things that go beyond specific garment tags too? #doubleduck

WAYWT is such a fantastic thread it would be great to be able to essentially ‘filter’ pictures of certain garments ‘in the wild’ that likely didn’t make it to the individual garment threads due to members not wanting to X-post

…I’m feeling like you guys are checking to see if I have an undiagnosed brain aneurysm.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd what’s the result? We just want what’s best for you

[goosehd]

I’m just a blip in the history of the forum as many have come before me and many will afterwards. Everyone has a time and place with the thought that nothing is forever.

I accept that and will not stand in the way of progress.

[neph93]

@goosehd You will never be a blip sir...not in any history of anything.

[goosehd]

@neph93 If I ever attain half of your knowledge and expertise, then I’ll consider myself a success. You are one of the greats

[endo]

you both are

[Twistlock]

^this!!!

[neph93]

Exactly @endo @Twistlock I'm done being humble and so should @goosehd be. Bearded mods über alles

[Matt]

This is so adorable. I’ll come back when the Mutual Handjob Society wraps up.

[goosehd]

@Matt …long over and now back to our regular programming.

[Mizmazzle]

@Matt haha. Only one of us could have gotten away with saying it.

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle @Matt I’m sorry that you guys feel that way and maybe it is time I step down. No one should feel as if they can’t speak openly on the forum and I apologize that I haven’t made a better go of it.

Apologies to all.

Any one of you could have said that and we would have all smirked. If you think that we would get offended or try and mod you/censor you, then as a team we are really fucking up....

[Tago Mago]

For what it's worth I don't think there is an inherent sense of censorship or overenthusiastic moderating on here, I think @goosehd and before him @neph93 (as well as the IH crew) are doing a great job of keeping this forum the cool and informative place that I have come to appreciate over the last 3 years. Thank you all for taking on this job and keeping this forum up and running!

[goosehd]

@Giles My thoughts exactly and why my comment was made. That one stung and I’m currently self evaluating and going through critical analysis of myself.

The forum is a living dynamic place made up of everyone using the forum in any way shape or form. If individuals don’t feel like they can make comments freely, then I need to step down so that people can feel welcome and wanted here.

[sabergirl]

What’s happening? Did I miss something? FWIW Dennis I don’t think that @Mizmazzle ’s comment was anything but tongue in cheek.

[popvulture]

I think Miz just meant that Matt is our resident wise-ass around here and is bold enough to tease in ways that some of us aren’t. I don’t think that’s a reflection of the way the forum makes us feel, more us holding back for our own reasons. I personally self censor all the time in life because I’m afraid teasing someone is going to offend them. And I do mean that across the board, not just here.

Anyway, this place is great and I don’t think you have anything to worry about, @goosehd

this discussion is getting too sophisticated
