IME, more people could do with saying "These results are applicable only to XYZ" in clear English more often. >:(

I was also very interested in this discussion! I really wish AO3 had defined this term clearly. I'm fine with 'additional tags' being open-ended, but since this is built into the system, I want to know what it is!

yessss it bugs me. Especially when I am actually looking for poly ships (just like a big scan for m/m/f relationships in a fandom, for instance, and not a specific set of characters) and people don't tag consistently so I can't use the specific 'm/m/f' tag or whatever. I think you've nailed the thing on tags; I'm still grumpy about tagging but categories should be a lot better explained first.

Yeah, I often read the "threesome - m/m/f" tag, but not everyone tags their stories with it. And even when people do try to tag consistently, there's also the "threesome" tag, or "poly" or "m/m/f", etc, and it all just gets very annoying.

Yeah, there's so much redundancy! I always think that I'm done caring about how AO3's tags work but I'm not. It's just so...so...terrible! Aaaaaa!
