Oh I think you misunderstood. Using tags is good, but there's a right and a wrong way to use them. Using "pots" as an example, if someone searches for "pot" then they will get both... But if they search for "pots" then they only get "pots". This is why plurals are bad. Also, it makes sense to have a uniform naming protocol across the site, which means that if you use plurals, you should always use plurals, and sometimes that does not make sense. Seeing as we already have a search engine here, it's best to use the tags as a way to interlink similar posts/threads. This means that if you run a search and find something *close* to what you want, but not quite right, then you can click a tag to find similar threads. So, it's best to just tag things which you find are related to one another, or things which are frequently asked, so it's easier to find related answers quickly. But the trick with this, is not to create noise. For example, if we have a tag named "circuits", then in theory it should appear on just about every post in this forum, which makes it redundant. Best not to use it at all. I hope that explains it a bit better. In short: Use tags. Only where it makes sense.
