anyone else find choosing a tag for a level really annoying? you get a random small selection of them that usually aren't relevant to the level, and you have to press 'more tags' about 5 times before you find the one you want they should have all of them on one page that you can scroll through, with the most popular tags at the top

Yes i do find it annoying and wish they did that, i believe this to be the main reason for the random tags on levelsas tags just randomly appear and it can take a while to find a specific one.

I agree completely. I often either skip this step or sometimes end up choosing something I'm only half interested in tagging because I couldn't find the one I wanted. There is no reason this couldn't be more user friendly.

The tag system is not only useless but also a complete mess. It should be completely removed or replaced by a true tag system made for searching and not "rating". .

My biggest problem with the tagging system is that the option to search for a level by its tags is completely useless and broken. Has anyone else noticed that no matter what tag they search for, they always end up with the same search results?? Whether I'm searching for 'Weird' levels or 'Brilliant' levels, I always get very similar results, and I think this is because the search engine just looks at the number of times that a level has been tagged as 'Weird' or 'Brilliant', instead of (intelligently) looking at what proportion of 'Brilliant' tags it has received. I think this is why I'll always be given RAMP as an example of a 'Brilliant' level (which has probably been tagged that about 100 times out of 1,000,000) instead of a less played level that has been tagged 'Brilliant' 50/50 times.

I dont know, i think this is a problem in LBP and should be fixed, but i think this is the least of LBP's problems and we should get to more important issues at hand, before confronting this, unless this is easy to fix.

It's also officially the most 'rubbish' level out there. Go to any level with a 'rubbish' tag, select it and you will be taken straight to ramp.

I think the person who creates the level should choose tags for their level (maybe about 15) and MM chooses which tags are negative and which are positive. You can choose maybe 5 positive tags, 5 tags that aren't positive or negative like vehicles, and 5 negative so the tags are more related to your level. This will stop people putting vehicles on some level that doesn't have to do with any vehicles.

looking at the immense list of tags for Ramp and i've come up with an idea for the tags system xD the page that shows you all the tags for that level is basically a list of all of them in alphabetical order, with the most popular ones slightly bigger than the rest i was thinking it'd be good if you could have something similar for the page where you choose the tags. a list of all of them with the most popular choices slightly larger.. and maybe the author could recommend a few of them when they publish the level which would make them larger on the list to begin with

Good idea. That's the main reason I don't use the tag system, as it just takes too long to find the tag you want. I think they need to fix the "search by tag system" more though. If you choose any tag you'll pretty much be taken to the same results.

Yeah, every level with 1000 plays or more has a huge mixture of tags. Hard-Easy, Brilliant-Rubbish. The tags system is useless. it's supposed to give you an idea of what kind of level you're about to play, but instead it's just a whole bunch of different tags mixed together that don't even make sense. My level's biggest tag is "Boring", which is completely ridiculous because it's not even a level. They need to change the tags, because right now it seems that some morons don't like pressing skip(probably because they want the trophy) and give levels random tags. I think that MM should choose some good and some bad tags, then each level will get a ratio of good and bad tags. AND the good and bad tags would have separate colors. Then, give people the WHOLE LIST of tags when choosing one. If that can't be done, give them the whole list of good tags, then have them press square to switch to bad tags.
