Have the tagging functions and features for categorizing the progress of a posted remix on OCRemix been removed?

[Master Mi]

I had just posted a new video game remix on OCRemix after a few years (in the “Post Your Game ReMixes!” forum) and wanted to take the opportunity to update the old tags for the remix, which were still there.

But somehow you don't seem to have access to them anymore - or is the tagging function just a bit hidden now?
I was a bit confused, as you can still search for tags in the search function on the site.

...

The second thing is this.

Years ago, when you posted a video game remix, you could indicate the current status or progress of the remix.
According to my memory, you could indicate things like “work in progress”, “ready for review” or “submitted” etc..

Has this also been rationalized away at some point - or is it just related to the restructuring of the site some time ago and will return at some point?

...

It would be really nice if someone could give me a short answer and explain the changes I apparently missed. ))

We removed this entire Review system from the PYGR forum years ago. It was not really used, placed a lot of stress and pressure on a small number of staff  members, and just added a second, completely extraneous layer of bureaucracy to OCR's pipeline.

Overall we're de-emphasizing tags across the forum. Most people did not use them in any meaningful way.

@DarkeSword

Big thanks. ))

I forgot another question.


There was also some kind of an off-topic forum here on OCRemix some time ago.
Has this also been removed - or is this hidden somewhere and has been integrated into another forum section?

It's been closed and archived. We don't get enough discussion related traffic on the forums anymore to warrant a separate section for "off-topic" discussion.
