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.
