Explanatory Tags - Better Incorporation

Concise description:
  • Tags are meant to give a better description about a person since we don't leave feedback messages anymore. It is apparent what star rating you are because it is averaged and put next to your name, but nothing is done about the explanatory tags and who really has the time to look through pages of feedback to find out if you want to play them or not. I suggest making feedback 1. more easy to see and 2. legitimizing tags

Specifics:
  • IF you receive 50 tags of the same Explanatory Tag, then in your profile it lists the tag. IE, if you have 50 people leave you "good strategy", then "good strategy" is listed in your profile under "Tags from the community". This is similar to medals, where you need 100 accomplishments to receive a silver medal. The numbers could be changed to be the same as the trophies and could be color coded the same way (20,100, 400 for bronze, silver, and gold description, respectively).

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • This better incorporates Explanatory Tags. Right now they are useless. People only see the rating of 1 to 5 stars. Also, this staples bad and good feedback to a persons profile (possibly making people more conscientious about their behavior and rewards peoples talents).

a good suggestion, I think this would make the tags more relevant.

Agreed. I also think that the tags would serve more as a better description than the rating. =D> =D> =D>
