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]"

I feel like it's the sort of thing that should be very strongly encouraged but not endorsed. Standardizing a format (e.g. [genre] artist - "track/album title" - whatever commentary) would be good but again, maybe just as guidelines in the sidebar. I don't think it would be good to start banning people for not being specific enough in their post titles about music.

No, of course, it wouldn't be anything to even delete a thread over. I just think a reminder would be nice so more people start tagging for those of us who like seeing that.
