:SUB:Tag voting
<p>
While everyone is pretty much free to link any tag to any visual novel, please keep the following
in mind while voting:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Read the description of each tag before you link it to a VN, some tags may not always mean what
you think they do.</li>
<li>Try to be as specific as you can. For example, if a game has drama elements, rather than voting
on the "Drama" tag, try to look for a more specific child tag that describes what kind of drama a
player can expect.</li>
<li>A rating between -3 and 3 can be given to a tag. A negative rating indicates that you disagree
with a tag, with -1 being "I wouldn't say this tag really applies" and -3 meaning you fully disagree
and the tag really doesn't apply at all. A positive rating works the opposite way, and indicates
that you do agree with it.</li>
<li>Some tags can act as spoilers for the plot of a VN, this can be indicated by voting on the spoiler
status. It is highly recommended to not leave this as "Neutral", and really try to give an indication
of whether the tag is not a spoiler at all or does spoil a bit.</li>
<li>Tags are supposed to reflect the things you'll be experiencing as you play the game, even if
some things might get revealed to be lies or illusions towards the end of the story. In cases like this,
add both the (arguably incorrect) tags and the tags describing the situation after the truth has been
revealed, making sure mark the "correct" tags as spoilers.</li>
</ul>
:SUB:Tag guidelines
<p>
New tags can be requested by everyone, but they'll have to be accepted by a moderator before
the tags will be browsable. The following rules apply:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Tag names should be self-describing. While the meaning of a tag can be obvious if you look
at its place within the tag tree, when displayed on a VN page only their name is visible and
not the parent tags. The name should thus fully describe what the tag means and should be used
for. For example: a tag to describe a male protagonist should be fully named "Male protagonist",
even if its parent tag is "Characters > Protagonist".</li>
<li>Tags should be used to describe objective information about a VN. Subjective tags like
"Awesome protagonist", which would have a different meaning for each individual, are not allowed.</li>
<li>Tags should only cover information that VNDB itself doesn't cover already. So tags about release
information or the length of a VN are not allowed.</li>
<li>The above rule also holds true for any other information about the VN itself which is (not yet)
covered by VNDB, like staff or licensed state in a country.</li>
</ul>
