@CJtheSiteWizard Hey there, so we talk about the forum tag limit before, and I was content with the group tag for most of time, but for a certain post, I would rather tag everyone individually. This is for something like an attribution and honor for everyone, so it would be more appropriate and more appreciative if I can take my time to reward everyone one by one.
Hereās an example of the post that I was going to make:

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, that will not be possible. I understand that you want to make something special for the players, but we have to prioritize the overall safety of our forums over a one-use case. Your best bet would be to continue using these awesome blog posts, Iām sure the players will appreciate it just as much!
We would rather post this on the forum rather than on the blog, and we would rather post this on the forum without tagging anyone rather than posting on the blog. No one would get the notification on the blog, and that place is not for socializing, as itās instead just an archive.
Still, the tagging limitation is intended to prevent spam, am I correct? Then I donāt think it would change much if you just bump up the limit to 15 because thatās more enough for me to get everyone included, for now, at least. Beside, I only do this kind of post once every few months, so if you cannot permanently bump the limit, then try bumping it up for a day, and see if anything changed. Might be also a good experiment for the mods to see if your system is effective or not.
You could use the group tag when sharing the blog post link on the thread
We do not personalize rules. Once made, they apply equally to the general forum population.
The system is effective in minimizing spam, which is our biggest concern on a forum with over 700 users. As you know, we are more than happy to listen to our membersā feedback, but please understand that matters of general forum safety are non-negotiable. That will be our final stance on the topic.
Hi, I have a question about sharing bits of your own writing and having someone rate it, or, getting feedback on just a paragraph instead of a whole chapter.
On Wattpad forums I remember there used to be many āshare yourā¦and rateā threads, but since moving here, I hardly see them. Personally, I donāt think I have the patience (?) to set one up. Itās a lot of responsibility to keep one going. One, meaning share your paragraph and rate the one above. Or share your first line, share dialogue, share two paragraphs, share funny paragraph, etc. If you set one up, you are kind of bound to that thread until it falls. Same goes for āshare your cover and rate the one aboveā threads.
Anyway, since I donāt see any, I was wondering if that kind of content sharing is somehow banned? Or is it just that people donāt want that responsibility?
In the case that we are not allowed to set up such threads, or just no one wants to do them, if we want feedback on just a paragraph of our work, where can we post that?
No, sharing short excerpts from your story is not banned, if fact, we encourage our members to work on their writing right here on the forums with their peers! There just havenāt been many of those types of ārate the ___ aboveā threads, but they are most definitely not banned!
You can do that in #writing-improvement! Weāve had quite a few people share bits and pieces of their stories, or entire scenes, in order to workshop them with fellow WackyWriters A good rule-of-thumb, though, is to not share overlong excerpts and to be very specific about what you need help with so that other users know what theyāre getting into.
For more details, here is the relevant segment from the Code of Conduct:
Not a question, but I do wanna thank you all for the good work you do. You really are a website that cares about its userbase, and youāre a fair team. You constantly reach out to us and make sure everythingās gucci, which is great. You actually listen to us, you take our opinions on board and are patient. Oh yeah, you also make good friends and have good banter.
So, please never change. Keep up the good work and stay awesome.
Omfg that is so sweet of you, thank you so much!!! That really means a lot, because weāre a fairly small ā but very dedicated! ā team of volunteers, whose only āplaybackā for doing this is seeing yāall thrive on a happy, healthy, safe and inclusive forum! So thanks for taking the time to write this out, please know itās very much appreciated!
Sure, feel free to make a post in chatters and put the lyrics there. Be sure to give some context, though, so other people arenāt confused when they look at your thread. I hope youāll get the feedback youāre looking for!
Thanks! Okay follow upā¦if I wanted to post multiple lyrics, should I just put them all in one thread or make separate threads spaced out by a few days or a week or something?
If you can, try to put them in one thread to avoid clutter. You can reserve a post or put a space in your first post to link to the different lyrics in your thread.

Basically, how it works, is you put the text that will be hyperlinked [in here], and then you put the link (in here) right up against the text box. That way itāll link. This works with off-forums links as well
