Description Andrew R 2012-10-12 17:41:49 UTC 
Reference: http://talk.webplatform.org/forums/index.php/2085/allow-retagging-by-the-community

As mentioned, the state of tags on the site is somewhat of a mess.  There are mistagged questions, untagged questions, botched tags (eg, tag "web 2.0" has been seen as three tags "web", "2", and "0"), misspelled (and thus separate) tags, etc.

Ideally, the ability to manage tags would be based on reputation (the points system), so the community can moderate the problem itself, rather than relying on admins to handle all these cases (if they even have the tools to do so).
