New Feature: Tagging for Parking

Hi everyone

The forum now has the ability to create tags that can only be used within a specific Board. 
I've previously asked on Competitions Time what they'd like to use

Now, I'd like to ask here if there are any tags that would be helpful to use on Parking?

The goal isn't to have perfect tagging on every post - Tagging is optional and completely up to the OP to add. And we're aware that posters here are often new and don't know the terminology. 
So custom tags might only be useful if they're very simple and obvious.

You can see in the image below how they'll look when adding a post.

There are many more tagging features due to be released in the near future. - such as the ability to 'follow' tags and get updates when they're used. So tags should become even more powerful as time goes on.

Please let us know your thoughts in this thread - What tags would be useful?

    Ideally a tag for every PPC or allow users to create their own but at the very least:

    BPA
    IPC
    IAS
    POPLA
    Letter of Claim
    Court Claim
    Airport


    Always remember to abide by Space Corps Directive 39436175880932/B:
    'All nations attending the conference are only allocated one parking space.'

    Might be good to tab specific PPCs? and or Legal Companies ( Like DCBL )?

    Hi everyone 

    Thanks for the suggestions so far!

    In the screenshot above, you can see how suggested tags are displayed. This might be slightly altered in later layouts. 
    I believe that section can only show a limited number of tags, and then for others you have to start typing a tag in the box and see if it auto-completes. 
    It also shows tags in that list in order of creation - Again, that might change in future layouts. 

    So it might be best to start off with a few key tags first that are the broad groups Parking Board users might want to use to help view certain threads - rather than lots of individual companies? - Those can be added later.

    Let us know your thoughts. We want above all else to help you organise this section in a way you feel is helpful -  Not add anything that complicates things too much or is unnecessary.
