...but something is telling me I ought not to.

Not sure if this was meant to be part of the system, but I was able to add a custom tag to Pikko's editorial. I saw a little "+" symbol next to the rating arrows and clicked it, then a dialog box came up. Thinking that there was no way that a normal user could edit the tags on an admin post, I proceeded to type in "BANT!" and pressed enter.

Viola, my BANT! tag is now showing up on Pikko's post. Does it show up for everyone or just me? Is this something that's working as expected, or is it a bug? If it's a bug, can I use it to dupe my post count? Will I get banned for said duping? If other posters do it will they get banned as well?

Will the Smiley: llama released by the arguments of people saying that the bug was known by admins for years and they shouldn't have been banned for using it be brown or kinda of grey colored?

I see your addition, as well as the same little +. I'll take your word for it that it works.

It seems like a problem. I have no idea how to fix it however, just giving confirmation of the fact that it's there on other computers.

I have a feeling that enough rate downs on that specific tag and it would disappear. I for some reason can't get the rate up or rate down tag buttons to work at all though.

According to the crap that isn't actually wiki developers, that behavior is intentional and designed to allow the community to better integrate the article with the crap that isn't a wiki.

You probably don't want to abuse it, because at the moment the only way we have to deal with people who do is directly related to the tag you added. Just an FYI.

I'd like to use this thread to say that I'd love it if admins didn't have to click the + every time we wanted to add a new tag...
