Yeah. It's the most recent tag, or it's the one most suggested. Most suggested supersedes most recent.

I thought any new community tag wipes out the previous one...but maybe some of mk's secret sauce is at work here.

Let's test.

I tagged it test1

Now you tag it test2 and we will have someone then tag it test 1 again

Then we will attemp a test3

lil  ·  3079 days ago  ·  link  ·  

somebody like the ever present steve perhaps?

thenewgreen  ·  3079 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Okay. steve, kleinbl00 or ButterflyEffect or anyone reading this with the ability to community tag, try adding the tag #test3

tehstone  ·  3079 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I tried, it's still test1

ButterflyEffect  ·  3079 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I just tagged it test3 and it changed to test3.

lil  ·  3079 days ago  ·  link  ·  

It must be the butterfly effect or maybe you have super powers!!

that proves that it's the most suggested not the most recent that takes precedent. In the event that there is a tie between two tags, it goes to the most recently suggested of the two.

This is the case.

thenewgreen  ·  3079 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I know. I proved it using science.

lil  ·  3079 days ago  ·  link  ·  

My head hurts from all this science. ... So wait a sec: two votes went in for test1. tehstone tried test3 (one vote) and failed, but the secret sauce remembered tehstone's attempt, so when bfx tried test3 - it said -- ahh, a new tag with two votes. So now presumably, if someone tried to tag it #test2nyehnyeh or whatever... that should be the newest at 2, but either #test1 or #test3 will supercede it?

But just to make sure no one adds coyote juice to the secret sauce, no one gets more than one chance.

Ahh science (my head hurts).

Thank you for testing this, it works in the best possible way.

steve  ·  3079 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I tried to tag it something else and it stayed as test3

lil  ·  3079 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Try and tag it #test2nyehnyeh or #test1 again. Let's keep trying till we break it. (no, just kidding)

GingerSoul  ·  3079 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Don't be afraid to break it, that's the only way to find bugs so they can be fixed. Do you remember the one character account bug that was discovered a few days ago? If nobody had tested that, today your account would be at risk of being hijacked by a malicious user.
