add proof that synonyms are not retroactive

| May 1, 2013 at 14:15 | comment | added | Awesome Poodles | Okay, and at least one user has "lazy" in his tag list. Plus the synonym appears to be quite old, so it is not a short-term delay (but it could be an early adoption bug). If you edit your answer to include evidence like this I can (and will) reverse my downvote. | |

@AwesomePoodles: Not automatically, no. There are no more questions tagged hats because they were retagged manually, examples: 1, 2.

This seems pretty false; do you have any evidence or citations to support this? Example here on meta: hats is a synonym of the winterbash tag, and it renames 9 times. Yet, there is no question with the hats tag, no "top user" list, and for 122 questions, I could find no answerer (so far) that had hats in his tag list. Not exhaustive, but that is also the way synonyms appear to work. They are retroactive.

| Apr 19, 2013 at 2:15 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | For an easy way to think about it: the tag score is always based on the actual tag on the question. Synonyms really have nothing to do with it at all. | |
