Two CD-Media suggestions

[Brandon Martus]

That's definitely on the list -- I can do it, but I'd like to make it so if the picture is updated, the thread is updated as well .. which adds a little work, too. One day this will happen.

Alright, one more idea. I've been slogging through the more recent photos on CD-Media, and it's becoming rather obvious that folks aren't reading the guidelines on tagging. 'team 1234' this, '5678' that, the ever-lovely 'Palmetto', et cetera.

Would it be possible to have someone (maybe CD-47Bot, since I'm sure it's rather bored lately) send a PM to users if a tag they added is voted down, with the comments the voters left? I'm sure that the mistagging isn't malicious, just out of ignorance or misunderstanding of the procedure...and an automated PM would seem like the best way to try and fix that.

I had planned on a 'My Tags' page which showed the voting progress of tags you've added. I could add an option to let a PM be sent, if the user opted in. I don't want to annoy anybody.

Another thing is, for some of them, I can build in aliases. For instance, if you tag something with 'wai', it will know you meant 'Who Am I?'. If there are some consistently spelled wrong, or two tags that really mean the same thing, we can alias them. This is going to be a built in 'suggest an alias' function, but I haven't gotten around to getting it in there yet. I can add them manually though, so if you see any major ones, send me a PM with the two and I can add it.
