    I'm beating a dead horse here. And I'm going to beat this shit till it's alive.

    Okay, I'm sure everyone here knows what I'm talking about, and how necessary it is.
    You may think that tags are self-explanatory, which they usually are, but that's subjective as fuck, as everyone thinks differently. As such, I'm going suggest that we have public definitions that cannot be changed by someone without the authority to.

    I know it it'll be an absolute pain in the ass to create a definition for all 960 (as of when I am typing this) tags, but I believe this to be absolutely necessary.

    Where would we display the definition of the tags?
    I think it's possible to replace the title of the links of the tags from "View All XXX Related Series" to the definition of the tag, as seen in Example 1.
    Another place to put to put them would also be the top of the page when you clink that link, as seen in Example 2. The good thing about putting it here, is that you'll instantly see it, and you can actually add extra information.
    If you're worried about people understanding you can click the tags to see the list of all novels with that tag... How the fuck did they even get to this site if they don't know blue underlined text means it's a link? (For all those curious, the Hexadecimal coding is #1b98e0)

    I honestly don't expect this to turn into anything comparable to the guys over at e-hentai (those guys are damn dedicated), but I do expect there to be an explanation of the tags. Example 3 for a picture of what they do.
    Whats the point of having them yet having no official definition?

    Edit:
    I put way too much effort into this shit.

    not only you're beating a dead horse, you're even putting the cart before the horse.

    before we decide where and how to put/display the description, we first need to 'have' the description ready. google doc or ms word online seems like a good place to start.

    Oh it has been brought up. Many times. We're just hiding the cart in the shed and showing off the horses as distractions. Shh~

    The horse is already on its last breath. Let it rest in peace. (Unless runsig & oly are dedicated enough to create and manage description for all tags, tony somehow agree to code the thing, and all mods managed to agree on the description)

    Seriously?
    I mean, this seems rather important for a site whose main function is to act as a directory that holds a list of translated novels.

    look if we're just talking about the genre that's still highly plausible but the tags?



    are you volunteering to do all of them? I can't remember the exact number but it's in the thousand iirc
