Using hashtags allows you to conveniently describe the specific reason for a rating. For instance, if you are rating a site which you believe falls under the “scam” category, in your comment you can use a hashtag to describe the type of scam... read the introductory Blog post.
Join in the forum discussion: Hashtags

To include a hashtag into a comment, simply start with the number sign: #
followed by your descriptive tag.

To include multiple #hashtags leave a space between them:

#hash1 #hash2

Or more preferably, place them on separate lines.

#hash2
