Have to admit, and I say this not wanting to contradict a mod and the members who've expressed a concern, but I don't see a violation here. With he obvious caveat that a moderator's job is to moderate, i.e. control the communications of the community for the good of the community at their discretion, multiple tags in a thread is not the same thing as multiple (i.e. over 10) tags in one post. Further,
Thrashbat deliberately made a concerted effort to limiting tagging to people that had expressed interest in being notified of the information. I *wanted* this update, and I'm glad he tagged me as I'm sure are others.
Obviously, some people are concerned by this. But the fact is that tagging limits are not actually mentioned anywhere in the YTTalk official community rules OR in
Frankie's stickied rules post. Despite that, as an active member of the community, Thrash was not only aware of this "rule" but went out of his way to attempt to abide by it/work around it within what is actually a very understandable interpretation of the guideline. If he'd tagged 100 people randomly in one post, I'd understand the concern, but I just don't see the problem here.
IF tagging 10 or fewer people in multiple posts within a thread is undesirable to this community, then I'd recommend those guidelines be clearly spelled out in the readily available community rules documents to avoid any further confusion.
Annnnd... all that said, thanks for the update, Thrash! Grats!
