    It would need someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and has a sense of whimsy.
    Neither are traits to be found in a narcissistic personality such as yours.

    I therefore offer my services - free, gratis and for nuffink - to admin for the purpose of devising a SQL query that will remove recent inappropriate applications of the tag whilst leaving legitimate applications in situ. As it is simple to review a given thread to determine if the tag is appropriate because of some comment therein, the UIDs responsible for inappropriate tagging will soon become apparent, which will make it easy to focus the search.

    Of course it's possible that the same user could have made both appropriate and inappropriate use of the tag, so a blanket approach based on UIDs won't work. Maybe we could use a crowdsourcing approach followed up with a manual review before final surgical removal.

    We'll pack a picnic, make a day of it

    Don't think you have to like them. Just accept their importance to CUK

    Guinea pig tags are as much a part of CUK as gladiators, radiators and "Are you sure you're cut out....."

    The guinea pigs must stay !! Ban the OP !!

    I would be quite sad to see it removed altogether >sniff<

    Guinea pig sausages? I wonder what else you would need to flavour them? I reckon apple or cider. I will try an experiment and report back....

    I did a few of them - as a result of this thread - but recently I always seem to be too late. Whoever it is - they are very fast.

    Is there any progress on sorting out bookmarklet bug please? If you do I will buy you a picnic!

    Can't we just the person who added the tag public?

    Of course some people *might* decide to make a "guinea pigs" post before adding the tag.

    I might add that since this thread was posted the guinea pig tagging has got more frequent - best to ignore it and it will go away.

    Yeah, it has all the hallmarks of Atw.

    I guess its the same person giving everything a 5 star rating too.
