pool to tag: Column Like You See 'Em

Posted under General

Finished tagging. The pool can be safely deleted. Although an idea just occurred to me: how about, instead of deleting pools like this, we just empty them, mark them private & inactive, and update the description to point to the replacement tag? That way people have a chance to migrate their bookmarks / tag subscriptions and such.

The only problem I see with that is if the pool creator decided to re-open the pool his or her self. Granted, it wouldn't really hurt anything (beyond being annoying) and swift justice (or just a warning) could be delivered if this did happen.

Agreed and done, though we need a better way to empty large pools. Delete Mode in the pool is really slow. Tag script for -pool:1874 does not work. Mass edit for the same does not work either.
