Ok, so some basic moderation around the 'add your own tag' in
http://i.imgur.com/rcAnMkX.png that can go through some kind of review
process (or something else)? Maybe the TC gets to have +2 +A powers on
people submitting new tags, making sure duplicates are collapsed,
categories are in english?, other basic checks (but in general staying
out of the business of tag defining/reviewing/other, let the community
figure it out).
