Something should be done about tags...

Some are misleading, some are just spam. I saw a "pokemon" tag in Tanner-FBI's Cube World 3. His Cube World games aren't about Pokemon! They're not even about the toy that Radica made with the same name!  sad

Meanwhile, several popular projects usually get tags like these:
!
!!
!!!
smile
happy
cheese
cheesecake
moo! moo! moo!
!!!!!!!!!

Believe me, I've seen this before.

I think there should be some people who's job is to moderate the tags. Or, someone who has to approve before a tag goes up. But this could take a lot of time for someone to post a project. What do you think?

Yeah, I agree. When you tag a project 'pokemon' and the project isn't about pokemon, it's just spamming.

He may have not tagged it that. Who knows who actually did it.
