chipotec was this guy, this underwater guy, who tagged like every popular thing with his name, because he didn't realize that he could use a generic tag, and as a subscriber, pick to play only his own tags. a bunch of people saw his tag on something like 500'000 artists, albums and songs, and thought it meant something. then they realized totec radio was just some crazy guy who'd tagged far more than he could ever listen to, and that an entire day's listening could have his tag on everything. totec radio was literal spam. it would be like finding my name on everything on this site

@kilstrit...just read all of chiptotec's explanations and you will understand what this tag means. Basically he started using it for personal reasons and many other people jumped in and started using it. Then it became really, really popular. Trolls didn't seem to like the popularity so they started hassling him. That is the story summed up into a few sentences.

Hey guys. I don't care if "totec radio" tag exists or not, bothers you or not, I just would like to know what does it mean -.- Could someone explain to me its meaning or role? I'm just curious. If you'd be so kind and leave a message in my personal sb, soon I'll forget that I asked about it here ;)

OK, I'm on the process of deleting all MY iterations of this tag, since I don't use it as a personal tag anymore and it appears to bother some people so much (though I can't see why). It's a slow and occasional process, but the fact is this tag may be reduced greatly in the next days, so you can all stop crying wolf now. Enjoy life, go listen to The Balustrade Ensemble or read Haruki Murakami. Be happy.

This tag don't invalidate in any way the other ones, more accurate tags. It's not a "this or that" situation. Global tags and personal tags can exist side by side. If you just ignore this tag and make your ego learn that it wasn't created for you, than you can just relax and enjoy the "techno" or "nintendocore" or "blues" tags in peace. You people are just being paranoid and control freakish. The time you lose discussing other people's tags, in this spoilt manner, could be better spent listening to music or reading a book. Relax and go live a little.

I hate being blunt, but come on: I'm making a fair use of a legit feature of Last.fm. And, in doing so, creating a wide and almost random station for anyone to use, besides SHARING my project's tracks for free. Fair use all the way. And, well, spam is a crime. I'll not stand here being accused of something I'm not doing; of being a criminal. From now on, accusations of spammer will be dealt with in a proper way.

This is a personal tag. Nothing to see here. Don't listen to it, by all means. I created it to add more material to my library, since Last.fm, before the creation of the Mix Radio station, was absurdly repetitive. I created and keep it for a while to MY personal use. As the site itself permits. Not a difficult concept.

From which ALL the tracks are available for download for free? What am I selling or profiting here? Do you really see a connection between THAT project and this PERSONAL tag? Congratulations, you are, well, dense. Feel free to complain to Last.fm about this tag, I couldn't care less. I don't even use it. Didn't you see the part that says "Built by 414 people (Used 133,841 times)". What do you think these people are, my minions? They are using this tag because they think it's useful for them. By calling this a spam you are disrespecting all these people. No, really, all of you who are crying "spam" are dense and slow and can't even understand neither the concept of "spam" nor the way this very radio you are logged in works. Congrats for making a joke of yourselves in public. Don't worry, I'll be the first to ask Last.fm to put this tag down. Whatever.

One of my favorite things about this tag is your awesome sarcastic comments to the idiots that don't know how to read. I have made over 200 tags for my own pleasure and every now and then people come along and make fun, have their way with my tag. I used to get a tad bit upset but now I just enjoy the peasant banter of these class of people that have no sense of virtual social grace. The biggest thing that has happened here that just tickles me is the misuse of the term "spam". Don't you people know Spam comes in a can????sheeesh. Your tag is golden and a great study in virtualness.

You are free to tag what you want with whatever you want, but don't be surprised if some random people tag THEIR things with, like, your, like, "own" tag.

Yes! Thank you, Stretchead. Let the micromanagers control freaks bother with the "dilemmas" of a social site. James_Hartley, I wasn't being rude to you. You came here behaving like a troll and saying I was "spamming" and "shitting prolifically" and I am the rude one? Stop being a hypocrite. Go complain to Last.fm. Personal tagging is one of the main features of the site. Go read the FAQS.

This tag doesn't say anything about the music but who really cares? Tag what you want with whatever you want!

Well, that's one dude getting rude and defensive about prolifically shitting allover the tagging system.

Thanks, man. Really appreciated. As you said, I'm not trying to spam or force anything to anyone. A personal tag or station cannot influence or change people's stations or listening habits, unless they chose to listen to them. I love ambient, one of my favorite genres. Thanks again!

No problem Mr Totec :) Yeah, I'm not sure why people randomly start getting mad over things on the internet which aren't theirs, then claiming that it's spam... I love your tag radio because of the ambient music it covers. Keep up the great work :D
