Topic: Tags alias: restrained -> bound

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Aliasing restrained -> bound

Reason: While technically there is a slight difference between the two, pretty much all of the posts under restrained apply to bound too.

Or we could create a new tag, say, immobilized, and alias both tags to it?...

I say no, personally. Restrained generally brings to mind thoughts of being held back or pinned by another person, such as having their arms held down or held behind their back or having somebody in a headlock.

Bound brings images of being tied up with rope or chains, etc.

I was just going to say this. Since I can't add any more words to the discussion, I'll add a picture!

Yeah, well, in that case a lot of posts need re-tagging. :T

Also, I tend to think of a complete lack of movement capability if one is immobilized. Say, due to drugs, magic, or else just a super good job with ropes.

In short, I agree with Percy and River.
