One thing I've found is that tagging is difficult. Here's an example:

Let's say that I make a game where you design something. If I gave it the tag “Build”, the most popular project that comes up on the list is City Tycoon with 18000 views. I then search for the very similar tag called “Create”, and I find that the most popular is Paper Minecraft with over 150,000 views!

The reason why I used the most popular as an example is because I presumed that the project tagged under Create had a lot more outcomes than the one with Build. Some people when tagging their projects maybe unlucky to put theirs under the build category when actually it would do far better in the create category. In other words, a list of at least the top 50 tags would be a great feature for not only people looking for projects, but also for people trying to advertise them.

You mean like on the 1.4 website?

This was on the 1.4 site?!?!

Sort of, it was the tag cloud.

Maybe if the limit was increased to 5, and you had to choose what tag to use out of a list instead of typing any. So there'd be no more waffles or epics.

If we had to make a list, it might be something like this:
RPG
Tycoon
Racer
3D
Shooter
Sport
Simulation
Adventure
NEW -an automatic tag that appears automatically and is removed after a week.
Design
Art
Contest
Animation
Music
Arcade
Factual
Educational
Scientific
Mathematical
Literacy
Languages
RE
History
Geography
Media

I could go on…
