The tags are fine, but as you pointed out, the tags might be misused. Tagging will only be immune to misuse, if it is combined with a voting/weighting system. The feature MUST NOT require any moderation by a SUPERUSER as this process should be solely user driven. Also as mentioned earlier, opening an extra bug report just for voting defeats the purpose of the idea. The idea is to make it dead-simple for users to express how embarrassing they find a bug. HOW is the keyword here. I propose to implement this just like you rate a video on youtube, just that you don't set how good you find the thing, but how embarrassing. Such a voting system could also be used for other attributes, I just can't think of any that would make sense from the top of my head. Maybe it could be used in other parts of LP. I could imagine voting on blueprints or bugs that are actually feature requests like this one! -- Adding tags and voting on bug reports https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149775 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
