"attitude"
"fair play"
"teamwork"
"gameplay" - see Lack's >> Gameplay attribute for ratings thread.
"attendance" - any automation (see Lack's >> Calculate attendance outside of ratings) will not necessarily preclude the need to rate using tags also.
"other categories" - suggested by posters though not currently used in ratings.

original post, on 1 July, wrote:In Lack's >> descriptive tags for ratings thread he proposes using tags to supplement ratings. He also suggested that people post, in that thread, their suggestions for useful tags. That thread is very busy and as a consequence the few suggestions for ratings are somewhat lost in the noise.
The aim of this thread is to collect suggestions for tags which might be useful to incorporate into any tag based rating system.
As a brainstorming exercise it's important that we all post suggestions only and stay strictly focussed ie on topic, please don't post criticism of suggestions or criticism of the thread here.
Please use the general format
<tag suggestion> - <rating category>
I will collect them all into the master list below in this first post - so please check the list before posting if you can - it'll help me out
[To get things started I've begun harvesting the suggestions made within Lack's original thread.]
