IFComp 2024 tags

When discussing IFComp 2024, you may wish to use specific tags and format them like this instead of making new tags:

ifcomp2024 For discussion related to the 2024 IFComp in general
ifcomp2024-game Please use this tag for review threads and discussion about specific games that may potentially include plot details or spoilers. This tag is provided so people can mute the tag if they are still playing and reviewing to avoid reading details about a game in advance.
reviews can also be included to specify a game review - multiple tags can be assigned!

Tags are added when composing the first post in a topic.

Users who can see the pencil icon on any existing original post can click it to edit/add/remove tags (as well as move a topic to the correct category if it’s in the wrong place, and update the topic title )

When updating a topic title, please use discretion. Ideally the best reason to update a topic title is to make it more specific instead of generic, such as

Original title: “HELP me please!”
New title: “Help creating tables in Inform 7”

You can also put meta-information in brackets or use the correct tags:

Original title: “Help me please!”
New title: “Help me please! [cycling links in Sugarcube]”

Please do your best to use appropriate tags as you post IFComp content. Members should have access to update tags on anyone’s topic as well by clicking the pencil to the right of the first post in a topic.

  • If your message discusses a specific game including plot details, hints, or spoilers someone might not want to see yet (including combined review threads!) be sure to use ifcomp2024-game tag.

Messages with ifcomp2024 are for general Comp-related topics with no specific game detail.

Ideally, people making their first run at the games who don’t want any spoilers or pre-knowledge can mute the ifcomp2024-game tag until they’re ready to read other people’s plot/spoiler details!
