| May 25, 2021 at 4:33 | comment | added | grovkin | @DavidSiegel it maybe the difference in how you use tags vs how some others use tags. Among other reasons, they are there so people can look for topics which they would be likely to free-associate with each other. They are not meant to be summaries of subjects or titles. Anyhow, it's not a hill I plan to die on. Just a suggestion of what may be useful. | |
| May 25, 2021 at 0:11 | comment | added | David Siegel | I disagree. The "legal advice" tag is for discussions about what is and what is not a RSLA and hoe to handle such. "Disclaimer" is about what to do with disclaimers posted in answers or profiles by users. "Credentials" is for discussions about requesting, posting, and vetting legal qualifications. Not unrelated, but significantly different. | |

The linked thread deal with users being encouraged to self-identify as lawyers, and some sort of badge or indication being created to show who had done so, and the favored answer was not to encourage this and not to provide such a badge. It did not deal with requests in questions to provide such credentials. | |

| May 21, 2021 at 8:59 | comment | added | grovkin | @DaleM maybe a new tag for the meta site to bind all these types of questions together? | |
| May 21, 2021 at 6:12 | comment | added | Dale M Mod | @feetwet almost to the point that this could be closed as a (meta) duplicate. | |
| May 21, 2021 at 3:42 | comment | added | feetwet Mod | I think the answer to the headline question is no, and that support for that answer can be found here: law.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/353/… | |
