Something needs to be done about misusing tags in the gallery. It's too the point that the tag system is pointless. Try putting anything into the search engine and you'll have to sort through dozen upon dozens of pics unrelated to you search because people are bulk posting photos and not customizing the tags.

As an example, I typed in "Urban" and the first 8 photos are of tanks in a forest.

It's frustrating.

Once you have enough gallery votes in, you become a trusted user and can edit photo tags. I don't know what that exact threshold is.

I don't know what the "best" solution is but I fixed those 8 mismatches for urban, at least. Post here so a trusted user can fix them? PM a gallery mod? Get enough gallery posts to edit them yourself? I think all or any of those 3 work.

I have the ability to edit the tags. It's just a lot of work to keep up with the abusers.

If folks don't tag their images then there's no problem.
