Tagging etiquette! We’ve gone through how to deal with anon hate, let’s talk about how to tag things properly.

How to tag your spoilers:

“Sso spoiler/s” are the tags most people who want to avoid spoilers have blacklisted, so please use this variation instead of “star stable spoiler” or “star stable online spoiler”. To cover your bases you can use all three, but the only necessary one is “sso spoiler/s”.

How to tag non-sso content:

If you want to filter out non-sso content on your blog, what used to work was to tag your post as “not/non sso”. However, due to changes in the way tagging works, any word in your tag will show up in their respective tags, so by tagging “not sso” your post will specifically show up in the sso tag. If you still want to use “not sso” that’s fine, it’s your blog, but if you want to use something else you can think of a tag specifically to filter your blog. I use “personal”.

Using tags to add to a post:

If you want to add an opinion or say something on a post without derailing the entire OP, you add those comments to the tags. Compliments about art, general words of dis/agreement or making jokes can go here. This is where you can add context to your post as well. Think of tags as the comments in a google doc. Even if you make a nice addition such as “wow so cute!”, that doesn’t mean everyone who follows you wants that addition to their own reblog.

“Prev tags”:

Prev tags is a terrible concept created by Twitter and brought to tumblr by satan. Don’t do this. If you want people to be aware of the previous tags on a post you can screenshot on mobile or copy paste on desktop and add them to your reblog. Don’t just say “Prev tags”, no one wants that.

Tone indicators:

Remember to check tags for tone indicators, which can change the meaning to a post a lot! /j = joking. /hj = half joking. /nm = not mad. /pos and /neg means positive and negative. These are very useful for people who might not be able to interpret tone all that well through text.

Might add more later but for now this seems the most important to ssoblr c:
