| Nov 14, 2018 at 22:28 | comment | added | Rubiksmoose | @HeyICanChan well it's clear we have different views on the matter so we'll just let that lie and not let this devolve into an argument. We'd just be repeating points that have been made many times before anyways. I appreciate your response though, thanks for clarifying. | |

@Rubiksmoose I'd like to think that, too, but I'd also like to think that with such a massive influx of new experts, the site'd be wise enough to figure out what folks are talking about pretty easily if some poor forgetful soul omits a tag! :-) And that comment above that should refute this answer's entire premise? It itself ignores the tags the asker put on the original question: that of spells not powers.

| Nov 14, 2018 at 22:15 | comment | added | Rubiksmoose | @HeyICanChan Ah ok that makes a bit more sense. I thought you may have meant on the whole. I like to think that we are much cooler on this idea because we have learned from past mistakes and are wiser than the stack was then. As for the downvotes, the fact that the answer makes their own case against their answer probably has something to do with it. | |
| Nov 14, 2018 at 22:05 | comment | added | Hey I Can Chan | @Rubiksmoose I meant chilling climate in such a way as to convey the worsening attitude toward this idea only. That is, this Meta discussion from Mar. 2017 that w're on right now is friendlier toward and more accepting of the possibility that maybe — maybe — an expert can help a new user tag that new user's question than that Sept. 2018 Meta discussion. Seriously, look at the title of this answer and consider what the downvotes may mean: No, it's not fine to help a user tag a question even if you are certain of what the tag should be. | |
| Nov 14, 2018 at 21:54 | comment | added | Rubiksmoose | @HeyICanChan I really am curious how this comes across as chilling. Surely the stack has changed in many ways and will continue to do so, but saying chilling implies to me that people are suppressing other voices which would be alarming and if you do see this happening I would hope you would bring it up in someplace besides a comment. Maybe you meant something else, but you saying that certainly alarmed me. (I would note that 11/12 answers on that meta have positive scores which indicates to me the presence of healthy discussion.) | |
| Nov 14, 2018 at 21:45 | comment | added | Hey I Can Chan | @Rubiksmoose In this Meta discussion, the second answer suggests that it may be possible to ascertain a system without the asker clarifying; in the other Meta discussion, the earliest that suggestion is made is fourth. Times have changed since this Meta was posted. And, while it may not seem like it, I was actually encouraging—not discouraging—that this be posted in that other Meta where it might receive more attention. | |
| Nov 14, 2018 at 21:16 | comment | added | Rubiksmoose | @HeyICanChan even if there was a "chilling climate" (something I don't see any evidence for), wouldn't comments like this just make it worse? Why discourage someone from posting it in another place? | |

| Nov 14, 2018 at 19:48 | comment | added | doppelgreener Mod | Point of order, we don't care if they tagged it, we just care that they said what the edition was. Title is fine, body is fine. I've tagged before based on someone saying they're playing an adventure that was made for D&D 5e, despite not saying they were playing D&D 5e as such. However I do not agree that the referenced question is "obviously" 5e, and I support the rollback conducted there. | |
| Nov 14, 2018 at 14:47 | comment | added | Hey I Can Chan | The absolutist stance that Questions not tagged with a system by the asker will remain closed until they are is an outgrowth of this later Meta discussion. Were this answer posted there, it might receive more attention. (Sadly, however, given the current chilling climate, I suspect it'll receive more bad attention than good.) | |
