Jul 5, 2012 at 20:01 comment added Chan-Ho Suh Someone actually just voted down the "yes" answer and the "no" answer has 0 = +2 + (-2) votes. I fear some people are misunderstanding and effectively voting twice here.

fixed typo ("should not be tagged")
Jun 24, 2012 at 18:48 comment added Bruno Pereira Mod @RobinJ That is your opinion, even so I do not know how can you fit the tag bug in to a graphics card drivers question, those at best should be marked with graphics and driver. Add bug to a question and it means anything about everything, it does not relate to a specific situation, if you are following the tag as a favorite it does not sort anything at all, thus defeating the function of a tag.
Jun 24, 2012 at 18:38 comment added RobinJ If you just close questions related to buggy grapĥic card drivers, you'd immediately close about 20% of the questions on here, as it's the biggest cause of trouble appart from Wubi. Ubuntu can't be used fluently without graphic card drivers.
Jun 24, 2012 at 16:34 comment added Bruno Pereira Mod Then you are left with Also, the bug tag can be usefull for questions like "What should I include in this bug report?" questions that should not have the tag on them, instead they should use the bug-reporting tag.
Jun 24, 2012 at 16:33 comment added Bruno Pereira Mod @RobinJ There is a reason the are called closed source drivers and there is a reason launchpad exists. Questions like "which version of X driver do you recommend for my situation" are perfectly valid and do not need a bug tag, "please fix my bugged out driver" questions will be closed since we do not maintain of give fixes to software here, those should be redirected to lauchpad. Any thing that says bug or uses the tag bug, 99% of the times does not belong here or if valid should be edited to remove the tag from the question.
Jun 24, 2012 at 16:27 comment added RobinJ So basically you're saying that all the graphic card problems don't belong here? Because 99% of them are caused by buggy drivers and buggy Compiz. Also, the bug tag can be usefull for questions like "What should I include in this bug report?".
Jun 24, 2012 at 14:32 comment added Bruno Pereira Mod @RobinJ bugs do not belong here, they are issues that need to solved with packages and should be reported in launchpad.net as such. Ask Ubuntu does not solve bugs, they are off topic for this site. Please read the FAQ and re-evaluate your position here.
Jun 24, 2012 at 13:52 comment added RobinJ Most problems users have with Ubuntu are bugs. Also, questions reloated to bug reporting could use the tag.
Jun 24, 2012 at 8:51 comment added Bruno Pereira Mod If you vote up it means that you do not want to see the tag bug blacklisted. I my mind I cannot see why that tag should exist in the first place, but, if you disagree, you should edit this answer with some reasoning why the tag should not be blacklisted.
