Jun 9, 2010 at 9:59 comment added ChrisF @Zoredache - When the quick tag editing was introduced you could edit the tags on closed questions, which is how I was able to remove the tags from Stack Overflow. I couldn't do Server Fault as I don't have enough rep. However, that feature was removed so now only very few people can remove those tags now.
Jun 9, 2010 at 9:57 comment added ChrisF @DouglasDD - yes it's normal that answers are deleted from the original question.
Jun 8, 2010 at 6:56 comment added Zoredache It is unfortunate that I cannot do anything to clean up serverfault given that the vast majority of these questions are closed.
Jun 8, 2010 at 5:25 comment added DouglasDD When a question is moved from stack overflow to server fault, is it normal that the associated answers are marked as deleted? Or was that only because (at the time) I had only ever logged in to stack overflow, never to server fault?
Apr 8, 2010 at 3:21 comment added Jeff Atwood excellent, thanks for cleaning this up!
Apr 7, 2010 at 17:30 comment added Pollyanna I got 407 problems, but a tag ain't one.
Jan 31, 2010 at 3:18 comment added Joel Potter Yesterday and today someone went in and tagged some questions belongs-on-doctype. This tag is even more abominable in my opinion because questions cannot be migrated to doctype, nor is there a clear line between what's acceptable on SO and what belongs on doctype.
Dec 28, 2009 at 15:30 comment added GmonC @bmargulies: I had the same problem. I've seen this "belongs-to-*" and since I don't regularly reads all meta feature requests/modifications I didn't know it's being "deprecated". I would like to have an "Advanced FAQ" that can address all these hidden rules of SO. I thought I was just being good for the community and now people say it's evil.
Nov 21, 2009 at 20:42 comment added ChrisF @bmargulies - it's one of the "unwritten" rules rather than being something in the faq for example. It's come up here on meta quite a few times. The problem is that these tags are just noise especially when they get left on questions that have been migrated.
Nov 21, 2009 at 19:03 comment added Rosinante Um, I'm completely stunned to learn that belongs-on* is evil. I saw them, and when I got points to retag, I started to use them, and I've never seen anything to indicate that I was trangressing. More propaganda needed?
Nov 19, 2009 at 22:56 comment added mmyers Noooo! stackoverflow.com/questions/1765365/… got migrated to SU with the tag intact, so unless a moderator sees and has mercy we're stuck with a permanent belongs-on-superuser question.
Nov 19, 2009 at 10:08 comment added Unknown Yahoo There are no "belongs-on-superuser" questions on stack overflow because everyone on stack overflow appears to punt anything that doesn't belong there to serverfault, even if it's obviously a superuser question...

Nov 18, 2009 at 21:50 comment added Troggy Yes, ignore my question mark. Look, a badger!
Nov 18, 2009 at 21:49 comment added Ladybug Killer Troggy, these tags are the reason why this list was suggested.
Nov 18, 2009 at 21:47 comment added ChrisF @Troggy - indeed they would.
Nov 18, 2009 at 21:45 comment added Troggy Would those tags be candidates for the planned tag black list? meta.stackexchange.com/questions/19018/…
