People.

Stop being dicks.

Stop ruining the internet.

Go burn the world elsewhere.

Would it be out of place to ask the nature of the tags in question? Mostly the severity of the offense.

I only heard non-specifics through the grapevine at this moment.

I've seen tags in the past that were not helpful but were usually benign and ironic and funny. The #no tag comes to mind as one that I particularly enjoyed.

Yes, I like the #no tag when used well.

In your case, the community clearly agreed with the community tag you submitted, so I don't think it was a big deal.

On a more polarizing topic in the future, I could see this becoming more of an issue, so it's better to nip it in the bud.

I noticed some drive-by #shitpost tagging, though the first one was self-applied, and another landed on a post that created some good [disclosure: some by me] discussion.

There will be a day, one single day, that everyone on the Internet will get along and not be a dickwolf. That day, only one person will log in.

Yes, this is sad, but people are people. Tap them on the nose with a rolled up newspaper and move on.

Nah, alt accounts are a thing. That person will just have a very angry conversation with themselves.
