Community poll - do we want a new rule (or perhaps, light suggestion) about adding genre tags? (hexbear.net)

Some people tend to post what genre their post is, some don't. Personally, I like seeing the tags there so we know what we're about to listen to, or at least get an idea of it.

Probably wouldn't be a hard rule, but maybe something added to the sidebar like "Please add a genre description. if you remember to."

Whatcha all think?

EDIT: For clarity, all I mean is formatting post titles like "Weedeater - Wizard Fight [sludge/punk]"

The upshot is we get an idea of what we’ll be listening to before clicking it. The downside is, we’ll get “umm sorry sweetie this is clearly neoclassical death metal, not melodic death metal” slapfights in the comments.

From what I've seen around here, the community is pretty good about avoiding that sort of stuff, but you do make a good point. Thank you for the input!

We can add a supplemental rule that bans being a pedantic weenie in the comments

Sounds like a good instance-wide policy
