I have a proposal to make regarding our region's tags. I would like to propose that we add two tags to the region: Eco-friendly and Communist. The first one I propose because in my time here I have seen many people show concern regarding environmental issues so I believe this tag would be quite representative of the opinions of the region. When it comes to the Communist tag my reasoning is slightly different. While as far as I can tell not all that many people would describe themselves as Communist the DSA is would be quite welcoming to any Communist who would like to join. For the sake of presenting a clearer picture to any potential member I say we include this tag. Along the same reasoning the Anarchist tag could also be included, but since our regional government is not anarchistic in nature it may prove to be confusing and/or misleading.

I agree on both tags, especially the Eco-friendly tag, since I have also witnessed a fair number of ecologically conscious nations in our region and I think we could help more eco-friendly nations find our region if we added the tag.

Definitely Ecofriendly; neutral to a Communist tag.

I'm all for the Eco-Friendly tag. I would like for us to get in contact with some major environmentalist groups in NS :D

Communist tag; meh, I'm split. Since our region compromises everyone from pretty much all over the left, I would think it would contradict to a good bit of the community here in terms of ideology, but then again it'll maybe attract more leftists to us.

I, too, am all in favour of the eco-friendly tag.

On the communist tag... Well, there are Marxists here. I'd say, if they express the will to have communism included in our tag list, we should. But if noone really cares... Well... Noone really cares.

If there's a general consensus on the tags, I will go ahead and act. (And it doesn't need to be about adding it or not.)

I'd agree with adding eco-friendly, but I'm neutral on Communist.

Sorry, I'm not seeing how the Communist tag would contradict the ideology of the DSA. Since the region is a place where all leftists are welcome to come and debate their ideas or current events I think it would be a good idea to signal that through our tags as clearly as possible.

EDIT: @TSJI: If there is a clear consensus regarding the Eco-friendly tag (and that is certainly what seems to be forming) then I agree that it should be added. When it comes to the communist tag I say we let the discussion run for a while and perhaps put it up for vote as well.

If there's a general agreement to hold a poll on the Communist tag, I'll do it. ;)

I didn't quite mean the region as a whole, i just meant some individuals. But either way, I get your point. I'm neutral to it I guess; I wouldn't mind it being there.

I get where both sides are coming from here. A Communist tag would contradict my personal beliefs, but it wouldn't contradict the regions collective ideology. I've always liked the DSA because it is not so radically left. That being said, the region having a Communist tag wouldn't bother me a bit. So I guess I would say I'm neutral and would abstain on a poll.

I am 100% for the Eco-friendly tag for obvious reasons.

As for the Anarchy tag, I don't think I like this. Grob is right, it may cause some confusion. Also, I'm not one to be fond of Anarchism, personally.
