TAGS, HOW DO THEY WORK

There are a few differences between the community and the judge journal tagging system:

•persona is still the same
-team name is for teams (except for *sterling). This is used for every team that's in a post as a team, with the exception of if a team's members are split up into different groups in a game and paired with other members of different teams. This is instead of individual character tags, because those are a lot harder to manage twice over (once on the main community, once on the persona journal).
!days xx-xx tag is still the same, but is split up into a month, i.e. 30 days, because the use of the journal for posts is less frequent, so it cuts down on tags added. So the first tag is 01-30, the next will be 31-60, etc.
¡game xx is for games: please create a new tag for every game that you run, so that we can look at one game at a time. This is useful for stuff like wolf games that create a lot of posts at once. If you want, you could theoretically create a ¡mission tag for using this for sterling, or some other use, although we do have the community, ssso.

Debating creating ~rules, ~writeups tags for this journal so they can be stored here too. :|a

Tagging is open to all in Aather who have been friended by the journal, but not creation.

Also filters are all updated as of this moment, hopefully with both subscription/access (useful for games like wolf where there are a lot of locked judge posts.) If I missed one or the other, please comment here! (--eta: I can see I need to fuck around with sterling's subscriptions and tune some stuff. Eh! It'll be done by the end of the weekend.)

Can you rewrite/clarify what is meant by the "team name" section? It's . . . I think I get it, but the explanation itself is really hard to parse.

Seconding this!

Also, This is instead of individual character tags, because those are a lot harder to manage. does this mean we're getting rid of individual character tags, or not supposed to use them on certain posts, or...?

Ahh, okay! That makes more sense.

Although now I will ask embarrassing clueless questions: When you say judge journal, you mean [personal profile] dramatispersonae? What will be going on it? Is it something I need to worry about as a normal?

Sometimes game-related posts will get stuck on the personae journal (either to lock secret IC shenanigans or for convenience like being able to start multiple threads without spamming the main game post to unwieldy comment counts). We'll get linked to them when that happens :|b

As a normal character, you wouldn't have to worry much about the journal or the tagging system unless you plan to potentially run a game. :Bb

An example is, say, a Personae wants to run a game that has different posts locked to each team for the game duration. They could use the dramatispersonae journal for game-related things instead of making 7 locked posts on the main community (...if that's even possible to do on a community journal?).
