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).
