sometimes I feel like we ought to have some sort of forced tutorial that explains the basics of the tagging system before a user is allowed to add tags to a post. TWYS's function/philosophy, how lore tags are meant to work, definitions of important tag groups like form and gender, etc. these are all things that either often cause tagging issues like mistags and tag warring or lead people to argue in the comments or on the forums.

I don't think the new upload form was enough and, in a few places, I think it might've lead to some more problems.

Would be cool if a tagging tutorial vid got uploaded on the site

If it was up to me, everyone would have to go through mandatory tagging basics tutorial and test before they are allowed to tag or post anything.

I think this is a good idea, despite the probable drop of uploads from people who just upload one or two things and aren't interested in learning proper tagging (or tagging at all).
