The moderator-*
tags are important to distinguish tags that would have a completely different meaning without the moderator
portion.
As of this post, there are 5 tags with the moderator
prefix:
Without the leading prefix, the meaning of each is lost.
moderator-selection
, which seems to indicate a question about how one should choose a new moderator becomes selection
. Selection of what?
moderator-teams
, meaning a group of people that share moderator duties, becomes simply teams
. Is this teams of users or teams in a game?
moderator-elections
doesn't seem to lose as much meaning by dropping the prefix, but does become more generic. This is especially true if communities have elections for various positions.
moderator-relationship
, which appears to be about how interpersonal relationships between moderators and others are handled becomes just relationship
. This is very generic. It could be the relationship between your community and another community. The relationship between a user and a business partner they occasionally refer to, or it could be the relationship between two people regardless of whether one is a moderator or not.
moderator-access
is a question about what privileges a moderator has. By becoming just access
it could refer to access to the community, access to a subsection of a community or access control problems.
I don't think all tags should have moderator
in front of them, but in some cases it is important.
