Here are some general misclassification tips:
- When classifying sites, remember to put them in the most specific category where most people will appreciate it. For example, if there is a weblog about cars, it would probably be better under Cars than under Weblog.
- DO NOT manipulate categories to send a message. "christanitysucks.com" most likely does not fit under Christanity. Atheism or even better Religion would be more appropriate.
- If there are naked people, it's Adult Humor not Humor
- If it is a news site without specific focus like CNN, it's News(General), otherwise it's whatever topic the news falls under
- Personal sites with non-topical, personal information belong in Personal Sites
- All stumbler's blog pages belong in Stumblers, except pages with adult content which belong in Adult Stumblers
- Advertising is for content about advertising, not for ads themselves. A page full of banner ads should be reported as spam using the "Report Spam" option in the stumble menu.
- When in doubt: Internet, Cyberculture, Adult Humor, Humor, Bizarre/Oddities.
- Quickly select a topic in the drop down by typing the first few letters
- Ecommerce is a topic for pages specifically about Ecommerce, such as a company that sells online credit card processing software. It is not for sites that makes money over the web. For example, a rare book seller belongs in Books, not Ecommerce.
- If something is X-rated, it almost certainly belongs in Pornography.
Certain stumblers help with approving misclassification changes. StumbleUpon has a dual-approval process so that sites are put into the right topics. You can apply to be a "miscatter" through the feedback system. Here are some tips specifically for miscatters:
- (A) = Adult, (P) = Pornographic
- keyboard shortcuts: ',' = bogus '.' = change '/' = skip ''' = preview
There is a group to discuss these issue here.
