Once tags have names attached to them the system could be gamed in terms of organizing witch hunts, but that seems like a pervasive threat any way.

An alternative to the above would be to allow you to prevent individuals from tagging your posts in the same way you can prevent individuals from commenting on your posts. This wouldn't necessarily require names to be attached to tags since, in a town as small as hubski you could probably pinpoint the perpetrator, but it would be aided by named tagging.
