snitch tagging is a special case of explicitly person-mentioning someone in a reply to or quotation of a post which mentions (usually critically) that same someone more obliquely (like plain text or a nickname) as a way of notifying that person of the critique, either as a heads-up, or perhaps in agreement with the critique.

I have a thing about tagging. I feel that a tag for a word in Wordie should be different from its definition. It should record a quality of the word that others might find useful in creating lists.
For example, I tagged the word "flaccid" with "stiffness" since, by my way of thinking, flaccid is used to refer to stiffness (admittedly a low degree of stiffness).
chained_bear thinks this is very odd. What do other Wordies think?

I suppose the same logic applies to privatives: dark thereby warrants the tag light, cold gets heat, etc. And/or perhaps a generic privative tag.

SoG, I wasn't trying to impugn your taggaliciousness! I just didn't understand why that tag was applied. But now you've explained it, so... thanks!

Hmm...interesting method, SoG. I think it's a good idea. It was a bit jarring at first to see "stiffness" right up there with flaccid, to my eye--but it does get one to think. :-)

Tags added in this way would almost make Wordie like a thesaurus, but much more inclusive than a conventional thesaurus.

At some point, I suggested using a version of Roget's thesaurus, which is in the public domain, to provide more information to words. I don't really like tagging the opposite word as a regular tag, it is very confusing. If we had a separate "synonym" and "antonym" area, we could avoid this issue.

I don't think of SoG as taggalicious so much as taghappy.

In stamp collecting, phosphor material on stamps that's used to activate automatic mail-handling equipment. It may be in the form of lines, bars, letters, part of the design area, or the entire stamp surface. Tagging may also permeate the stamp paper.
