Tag Implication: !! -> !

Posted under General

I disagree. +1 for implication. We also have !?, but I suppose it is questionable whether we want that to implicate ! and ?.

This seems wrong to me, ? and ! are used when they're solo so it wouldn't make sense for a post with !? to show up when searching either of them.

+1 for alias.

!, !? and ? express different emotions. !! is just ! put twice and there isn't any obvious distinction to warrant it's own tag.

By this reasoning we should neither implicate nor alias !! to !. And that would be preferable to aliasing, in my opinion.

In my opinion, there should be no implication or alias on this one (I think I've added ! to !! posts in the pasts, so I was thinking implication at first, but maybe worth keeping them separate) !! should be used in any situation where there's two exclamation points next to each other, regardless of how many (using !!! and !!!! is definitely unnecessary).

I'm opposed to letting them stay separate, myself. Unlike the usage of !? versus ! and ? separately, !? constitutes its own reaction (usually shock or surprise) separate from the other two.
On the other hand, the only difference between !, !!, !!!, and so on is the degree of exaggeration.

+1 to aliasing it.
