Title: Keyword tagging related threads
Post by: tmfp on January 30, 2015, 02:30:23 PM
Some blogs feature "keyword" links with new posts, so that the reader can cross reference other articles on the same topic.

I was thinking that it would be useful on the new forum, seeing how multiple posts on the same topic can be missed sometimes.
The "related articles" aspect of Google news is sort of what I mean, but tagged threads listed by popularity, not randomly.
Although a bit of a train wreck in itself, the recent Woodcollector saga springs to mind but generally, especially with news, people dash to post something without checking whether or not the subject has been covered.
Obviously too general tagwords like "Bitcoin" would be pointless.
I don't know how, but could thread merging be incorporated somehow too?
Just trying to think of how to achieve maximum relevant info on a subject without being at the mercy of "Search" all the time.

Keywords are usually used specifically for SEO (Search engine optimization) as far as I know but as you said it could be helpful so we don't use "search" function all the time . it would be nice to see a list of 3-5 TOPICS on the bottom of the related subject threads
Still ... It shouldn't be available on all sections if you ask me , "Marketplace" for example... Let's say people are looking for a "Steam account" and they will see a list of threads related to that , they will just enter and start bumping every thread out there even if it's 50 years old without even reading the date of the topic or if we add it we should add something like "Warning : this thread is more then 30 days old"

This is a bad idea. Nobody will use keywords properly.
You will have variations like "exchange dogecoins", "exchange dogecoin", "trade dogecoin" etc. that will each display different threads.
Popular keywords like "domains" or "mining" will be filled with useless/irrelevant threads.
