| Sep 24, 2013 at 23:31 | comment | added | Kaveh | Also infrequently used tags with only 1 (or 2?) questions get cleaned up every year(?) if I remember correctly. | |
| Sep 24, 2013 at 22:52 | comment | added | François G. Dorais Mod | @quid That's worse than the current system. It's much better to steer someone into using lo.logic+forcing rather than having lo.logic+mathias-forcing degenerate into lo.logic alone because mathias-forcing was deemed too specific by someone. | |
| Sep 24, 2013 at 22:41 | comment | added | user9072 | I do not think it is technically impossible. One could have something like a pending-tag which can be used right away but if not approved "self-destructs" after some fixed time. (One would just need to ensure there must be a stable tag, not only pending ones, on each question to avoid many untagged questions.) But I agreee it might not be worth the effort. | |
