If 5 is good, why is 6 bad?
I know by the inductive token one could say I'm advocating the removal of the max altogether, but that's not exactly true.
One could also have the number of tags a user can assign to a question be dependent on their reputation.
It's not the first time I feel like I'd like to use a sixth tag. Here's an example question of mine: it is a C++ question about staticconstexpr local variables, where I'm interested in an authoritative answer in the context of the C++17 standard. Why shouldn't the tags be the following, namely c++c++17constexprstaticlocal-variableslanguage-lawyer? Unfortunately that's 6, so I had to drop one of the tags.
The accepted answer to the question that the present one was marked a duplicate of doesn't answer my question, for two reasons:
- A good question simply won't need more than 5 tags is not science, but religion.
- It does not address my point that an user could be granted the privilige of adding/removing an increasing number of tags as their reputation increases. (Mind, I mean increasing in a very general sense; there could be just 2 ranges, e.g. 5 tags up to 25k, 10 tags afterwards.)
