Topic: Warframe vs. Tenno (*WARFRAME SPOILERS*)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

So, there's kind of a spoilery issue involved with tagging warframes with tenno.

The tenno are operators who remotely control the warframe robot/cyborgs. They actually show up as controllable later in the game

Opinions on what to do with tagging?

I don't know if I understood it well. Do you mean posts showing those robots/cyborgs are being tagged with "tenno" even when the tennos (I don't know if this plural is correct) aren't shown?

Precisely!
The Tenno are a faction name too though.

The rules are tag what you see, not know. Tagging warframes as Tenno would be a violation.

This seems like something that should be fixed with bulk edit tools. So many images with tenno!

When I played Warframe (years ago), it was not made clear to me whether the Warframes were remotely piloted or were cyborgs. I thought the Tenno were techno-enhanced robot people wearing the suits.

They cleared that up with The Second Dream.

What tag should we use for the warframes?
warframe_(weapon)?

If i necrobump this thread will we get at least get alien un-implicated from tenno since they're not aliens and a casual observer would have little reason to believe a warframe is anything more than dudes in cool sci-fi armor suits

depends on the picture. I am warframe uninitiated and I see robots, aliens and armor suits depending on the picture:

Robot: post #1391925 post #1365136 post #1444182
Alien: post #1436562 post #1417949 post #1408121
Scifi suit: post #1426610 post #1416443 post #1408195

That said, a character implicating a species is always a bad idea.
