first_time_exchangeThis is just a reminder that by choosing Any Additional Tag, you are explicitly opting in to literally ANY of them.
I have emphasized the importance of honoring DNWs, but in this case it works a bit differently, because the tags are used for MATCHING, first and foremost. If you choose "Any Additional Tag", you might very well end up being matched with someone who is ONLY offering things you have in your DNWs, such as noncon. And that wouldn't be fair to your creator.
I understand the temptation of simply selecting the "Any Additional Tag" option - there are just so many freeforms! And they're all so cool! How are you supposed to choose? - but I strongly urge everyone to narrow it down at least a bit. (And if you still want to include more than 20 freeforms, you can always just copypaste your favorites to an external letter and link it to your signup.)
I'm not disallowing the "Any Additional Tag" option either. It wouldn't be there in the first place if it wasn't allowed! I just wanted to address the issue in a more general way. Informed consent and all that. 😂 If you want to be a true chaos gremlin and choose it, feel free!
