New & horrid task - our first review

> 1.1.1.5 Morality vs immorality - Laurasia

I have only read through the first few posts in this category because
there was absolutely no continuity in the posts being coded to it and
it was a truly arduous experience. I'll have to be faced with doing
some truly revolting task if I am to resort to this as a displacement
task... hehe. I can not imagine any HPfGU member reading this category
for entertainment...

The problem isn't that the posts *don't* deal with the theme, it's
just that the mere appearance of the word 'moral' in the text
somewhere is enough for this heading to be selected. You feel as
though you haven't got what you picked.

>From the other comments so far, it sounds like the biggest problem is
not that these headings have been clicked for posts when they
absolutely should not have been (they are *almost* right, and it can
be assumed that the better headings have *also* been clicked), the
problem is that it is misleading to think that every post in the
Category "1.1.1.5" will be *directly* about "Morality vs Immorality."

What of those posts that have 25 categories? Because all 25 categories
appear equally in one giant list, one might think that
MemoryCharm!Neville is actually a Snape post, just because his heading
is also clicked.

I think the problem with perusing some posts according to a heading is
that there is no way of knowing if the posts will be *directly* about
that topic, or just *peripherally.*

It would be nice if we could pick 1 main heading to code something
under, and then a whole host of secondary headings. That way we
wouldn't mislead anyone into thinking they were getting a nice post
about Morality and Immorality when all they are really getting is one
throwaway reference to Lockhart casting a memory charm. It would also
make posts that have dozens of categories allocated to them are easier
to understand. MAGIC DISHWASHER is, essentially, about Dumbledore's
Agenda, no matter how many other categories it gets.

Would we end up with two sets of boxes next to each category, and
click the first row for the Main Subject, and then the second row for
everything else? 

It would also be less painful if each post's complete category list
was displayed with it, but I pressume that's what will happen in the
published version of the catalogue.
