Re: What does "affirm this tag" mean?
Well, it "affirms that tag"! 
OK. 'Affirm' means 'confirm', which is the opposite of 'flag'.

Re: What does "affirm this tag" mean?
What mathematics said. 
When you click on it, it makes the tag bigger. For example, let's say I see an animation, and it has the tag "animation". When I click on "affirm this tag" I'm making it bigger, and I have never tried or tested it, but I think that the tag goes up in the "Projects tagged with ____" when you affirm the tag.
Put this in your siggy if you miss The_Dancing_Donut!

Re: What does "affirm this tag" mean?
Clicking the little plus makes the tag bigger and more important.
When someone searches for something like "Platformer" there may be multiple results, so the ones with more clicks on the affirm button will show up top of the list.
This also makes it so people can not just spam 100s of tags and appear on all those searches because they need more people to affirm them.
