These tags group signature codes; a code may belong to more than one
category. Codes may overlap somewhat ("gaming" and "hobby", for instance).
Tags group the overall codes; codes that mention affinity for certain media
properties do not make them "fan codes".
Character Codes (#character)
These codes describe an original character (โOCโ), which might or might not be
the userโs identity. This category includes characters created for RPGs or
MMORPGs.
These codes are for the specific hobby of language construction and
worldbuilding, describing either the creations or creators. This tag includes
specific collective worldbuilding projects such as Nexus and Orionโs Arm.
Rather than full codes, these codes are intended to add to other existing
codes. This section may later be replaced with crosslinks, much like the
โInspired byโ section in Details.
These are codes for the furry
fandom. This list includes codes
for the userโs own anthropormophic animal character, excluding real animals
(like pets), slang (like Bear Code), and gaming characters (like
UDIC Code).
Though many signature codes are called โGeek Codesโ, this tag is specifically
for variants, extensions, and attempted successors of Robert Haydenโs Geek
Code.
These are LGBTQ-oriented codes. Many of these overlap with soc.motss
(Members Of The Same Sex), the formative LGBTQ newsgroup, but some soc.motss
codes are not LGBTQ+ related and some LGBTQ+ codes did not come from
soc.motss.
These codes are Russian-language codes as described on the Geek-ะบะพะด page on
ru.wikipedia.org.
Though many codes may have Russian authors (e.g. FurCode
2.0), these codes are contemporaries and adaptations of Geek
Code especially for Russian audiences.
These codes are explicitly about the userโs sexual preferences, practices, and
fetishes. Though several codes allude to gender and sexual orientation, and
several make passing references to sex and fetishes, these codes are intended
mainly to describe these attributes.
Codes that originated on the newsgroup soc.motss, standing for โMembers Of
The Same Sexโ. This is one of the internetโs earliest LGBTQ+-oriented spaces.
Many early signature codes originated on this site.
These codes are about technology and tech-focused users. Though Geek Codes are
arguably tech oriented, those codes refer to different types of geeks and do
not presume the userโs tech skills.
These codes are stubs, a term
borrowed from Wikipedia.
