Suggestion on tags

Have you considered changing the tag system so you can 'vote' for or against them like a certain sad panda site? (adding new ones or deleting existing ones depending on vote count)
From my understanding, they don't even consider tags below a certain threshold to appear in search results.
There's also a wiki with tag definitions and categories to avoid uncertainties. (Predetermined tags can also help with the madness that is the tag cloud and 13 different spellings for the same thing that happens in sites like ao3)

They use a weird and arcane way to make your own vote count for more or less, but you could do something similar here with account age, forum activity or likes or something along those lines.

 

That's a cool idea, but I suspect it's not possible on a XenForo system.

If it is, I suspect Sufficient Velocity would have looked into it. Might be worth seeing if they have anything set up over there, but anything they're using won't be an option here until after the fabled XF2 update.
