That’s because
THIS is the thread you’re looking for to make ship names official, at least as far as tags are concerned. That’s the topic where the most people will be made aware of SHIPZ, or at least the mods will be. Provided there’s at least one picture with those five (
actually) shipped together, that’s the requirement for the tag to be considered.
Maybe
shipz
gets taken down all the time because people don’t even know what this tag means, who knows? Not like there’s a description or anything that tells people what it means. Maybe people thought it was just someone using it instead of
shipping
.
For example, like you saw for yourself, this very thread’s title meant it was mistaken for a topic to talk about G5 shipping in general. The stellar alignment is also ground for mistakes and misunderstandings. Hm, actually, chances are SHIPZ is considered counter-intuitive and not descriptive enough now that I think about it. But you’ll find that out in
Shipping tags general.
I still like SHIPZ to refer to the group themselves, ship or not. It’s shorter than the Mane Five and delightfully unrelated to the previous protagonists. But I’d use that term in conversation on the forums, not as a tag on this site, so there’s actually no incompatibility here for me.
