So why were all the original tags removed from this thread mate?? ...not having a pop here, just genuinely interested because I've seen it happen before that the entire list of tags have been blitzed because of a couple of 'borderline' efforts.

We've needlessly lost a lot of golden tags that way.

I can understand racist stuff being edited away. But for example if a tag is aimed at me and I've seen it, but not reported it as offensive and am happy for it to stay, but you/another moderator assume that I'll be offended because if it was aimed at you then you'd not like it, do you remove it??

What I'm getting at is, surely it should be via a direct request only that tags are removed rather than at the discretion of the powers that be...


Cheers,
