User blog:Inferno Pendragon/Categories: It's Time For A Serious Talk..

this is getting out of hand - we need to find a way to limit or control categories and fast.. too many users/IPs are abusing categories and this has to end.

I may be unpopular for doing this but I'm an admin so I suppose I'm not meant to be popular all the time - the fact is people need to READ categories before adding them to an article - check to make sure it is suitable and if in doubt do NOT add them.

We have many articles that are being assaulted daily with needless categories that make no sense at all and this isn't helpful for anyone (it also puts off some users and, to be frank, myself, as we have to fix it)

I have been seriously looking into ways to limit categories to certain users but that seems out of our authority (wiki is designed for everyone after all).

In short we need to have a serious talk on this matter as a community - cause to be brutally honest this is pissing me off (excuse the profanity)
