Think I have a fair grasp on my audience now, I'll keep the tech heavy bits out unless they're particularly interesting from here on out. But right now I have a bit of a time and at least one thought worth discussing.

Poe as a tag. Up to this point I'd only spelled out what I'll call the core tags, the ones that are required for a quote to be approved, but I want to expand them so that they indicate content to some extent, but a Poe tag is a tad different. There are a fair number of quotes that get approved which people either refuse to believe are real or wind up being able to prove really where faked, but typically they're pretty damn funny to get approved anyway.

So, adding it as a tag rather than removing the quote. It would let us indicate that "Yeah, it's probably fake" without completely losing the amusement of what was said. Of course, there's also the problem of keeping people from labeling every quote a Poe, what with the law and all. But that's a problem for something I'll detail later.
