Has anyone found a really good system of using the colored tagging?

OH, this guy is kind of an asshole, lets make him black.

Uh-oh.

I use aqua for Novelty accounts. It's noticeable so I see it before I read their post.

i used to just tag people randomly, but i tag cool people green and why they're cool, assholes red and why they're assholes, forthewolfx is purple, any black people i see i tag black, with their gender, and anyone who mentions their name, i tag in orange.

I started out wanting to tag trolls or "bad" people with red and "good" people with green. But that got confusing. Still trying to figure something out.

Yup, I use a sickly green for meany-poopyheads, a kind of teal for cool people, yellow for the "me" in my alt account, and hot pink for the "me" here. And my SO is dark blue. I also tag a short note about each of them: so for trolls, I tag my initial impression. I named one girl "angry for no reason" because she was pretty much bashing on everyone in the thread for no reason. Another one is Moron, because he is.

I use tagging a lot but I don't use colour until I've seen the account a few times. Then I try to categorize folks by the topics the comment on that interest me. Mostly this just helps me know who I'm responding (or more pointedly NOT responding to) to more clearly. Honestly I don't have a system which I think is logical... but I have used it so much that it is becoming more consistent. Ultimately I seem to be using colors to tag users are particularly enthusiastic about something or other who habitually post in reddits populated by users with starkly different opinions.

FWIW: I also stalk users using metareddit or redditinvestigator before responding to anything remotely controversial or in a reddit prone to controversy and drama. Then I try to make an accurate tag based on that for the future.

Also the fix for the asshole now being green is golden. I always suspected that being moderator was really feeding my inner asshole self.

Being colorblind, I'm waiting for some sort of pattern-icon tagging.

So far I have:

Yellow: celebrities, official accounts (e.g. MrGrim, alienblue) and/or notorious users (e.g. Forthewolfx).
Green: fellow countrymen.
White: random/embarrassing facts about the users.
Orange: admins.
Red/fuchsia: tricky novelty accounts (e.g. relevant_rule34 and that spider guy).
Gray: people who tried to troll me and/or general idiots.

I am completely random with the colors I tag people with. And I never even considered using some sort of system. I'd change it up and start doing some sort of system but I know I'd forget what it was and mess it all up. So...random it is!

It going to become a lot more useful in the next release as you will have a list of users and their tags. One of the sorting options is 'by color.'

My only rule is that novelties get red. I fucking hate most novelty accounts.

In addition to color tagging annoying accounts, you can also just ignore them. I've ignored AndrewSmith and ALLCAPSGUY and have enjoyed reddit much more without seeing them comment everywhere.

Never tagged myself... And I recently tagged an asshole in green. Like your system.

I've come to think that it's not the colour of the 0===8 so much as the 0===8 itself.

The guy who couldn't poop for a month has a brown tag.

I use maroon to denote spam/novelty accounts, orange for my IRL friends, teal for cool people as well, pink for people who are female so I don't inadvertently call them "sir", and purple for my girlfriend (favorite color).

I don't see the point of tagging people on reddit.

IRL/IRC friends - aqua
Assholes - black*
Not sure if asshole - grey
'Okay' People - green
Awesome people - lime
Celebrities (especially forthewolfx, he's so dreeeeeamy) - purple
Novelties - teal
Notes (no real reaction, just something I want to note about them) - yellow

*Given the reactions in this thread, it might be a decent idea to switch to red.

~~I've been meaning to suggest this: Can we have the option to customize the color names? So instead of 'aqua black blue fushchia', we can have 'IRL friend, asshole, okay, awesome' etc.?~~ I see that this has been asked and answered here. Very exciting!
