When you have small numbers of people posting to a tag, that might be true, but the issue we're discussing is scale. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that scaling internet communities is infeasible, because they reach inhuman proportions that are simply impossible to effectively moderate with blacklists. Whitelisting as an opposite approach has had considerably more success with scale. Twitter and facebook are massive, successful examples of the whitelisting approach.But you have just as much power over tags since you can ignore users. Right?
