Tag Separation and Handling: The Asus tag and separating it out into subcategories instead (asus-pc, asus-laptop, etc.)
@Zacharee1 those that actively answer questions are answerers. For example, I'm not an answerer anymore until stuff like this gets sorted out and quality goes up. User is any user.

@Zacharee1 which further my position that users should not create tags, answerers should.

Who cares about the brand? The brand is irrelevant. From the linux kernel perspective, it looks for the manufacturer of the subsystem it's talking to. Check the output of lspci and tell me how many times appears your computer brand (BTW, my system is an HP, and all the output says "Intel"...)

Are computer brand tags necessary?
Why in the world it would be necessary. I checked some of these OEM tags and they are mostly crappy questions which the OEM is, almost always, irrelevant, and when it is (hw question), the OEM didn't even make the relevant part. OEM's nowadays just assemble parts, and on some cases I suspect they don't even do that.

"It also makes motherboards, tablets, phones" err... no it doesn't. It just rebrands someone else hardware, changes some specs and sells it. If you check the hw-id of many of this stuff it should return the original manufacturer.

Unless someone is actively looking and retagging questions (hint: they are not, and you have seen it) I prefer playing safe and not having this tag at all. That way it can't be used inappropriately.

Review audits should NOT include questions with bug reports
That question is woefully unclear. "Anyone having problems with font viewer" without even disclosing what the problem is, is like trying to fix a car, by phone, and the only clue is that it doesn't start up... it's simply impossible.

Accepted Netflix answer is incorrect
It doesn't help that the accepted answer is longass with tons of images

Don't be shy and vote ;)
@ΈρικΚωνσταντόπουλος I really don't know where you are coming from... I lost editing privileges on so at least 2 times that I remember, because I downvoted bad answers. I still downvote them, but losing reputation wasn't at any time a cause of concern.

@ΈρικΚωνσταντόπουλος you prefer leaving a wrong/misleading answer instead of downvoting it? That doesn't looks right.

Disturbing voting trends
Well, the thing is that that simply doesn't scale. We are the third-fourth site on the entire SE by questions asked and the proportion of knowledgeable user-non knowledgeable user has been always against us, I doubt someone will fork so much of its time to help everyone.
