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...

I have no idea what the original tags were so a colleague has probably removed them.
If the tag is reported as offensive to the person then it will just be removed.
What we also have to take into account are people who access the site from corporate offices that have swear filtering on the web surfing proxy. If its a post they have started, and are waiting for a response, then the swearing has to be removed from the tags so they can access it. Same applies for swearing in the post. It would have to be edited/removed.
I can see where you are coming from on the tags. If it was something aimed at me, and I found it funny, then I would allow it to stay. Its all down to personal preference.
hope you can see where I am coming from?
