Rejected #Hashtags

[hharis]

Hello! First of all I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read my thread.

#HASHTAG​

What does the # do?

° The hashtag can be used to tag comments to go with a specific subject. For example, if I were to make my profile status "New profile picture! #cutecats" (Profile picture would be a cat). These hashtags can also be used in other threads. (Apart from important areas such as Questions, Suggestions etc...) Ways to search for these hashtags would simply type #cutecats into the search bar. These hashtags are not for fun, like how people on Instagram do stuff like "#WhenYouNeedALife" It's for actual tags so people can find it along with other posts in the same category hashtag.

What is the point of this suggestion?

° I feel like this has been suggested many times before, but I think it'd be a great help for everyone. If you wanted to look for trending hashtags then you can search it and see what people have hashtagged.

How does it work?

° Pretend I searched #cats

(Thanks Nyx that I could use your previous name even though I didn't ask)

Sort of like that.

+1 or -1? You decide!

I do like this idea. However like you said, this wouldn't be used for fun as it does in socials medias eg: Instagram or SnapChat. But what if some people do use it for fun? How could you prevent this?

Thanks for your feedback boo.
Moderators moderate forums too. If they see I'm sure they'd deal with it. Or a different user may report the post that abuses the tags.

Or people could use it for fun because that's the purpose of the server, and therefore indirectly, the site.

I don't really think this would be useful, but it's a good idea. -1

Useful isn't even the purpose of the server.
If we're going to start removing things due to usefulness whoops there goes videogames, social networking is next.

I actually was thinking about this recently. A definite +1.
Also, possibly there can be a trending tab with recent statuses/online members

This isn't possible for now due to it requiring us to purchase an external addon and the website is a low priority at the moment in terms of funding. Perhaps in the future!
