A lifetime ago, on Stack Overflow, I was one of those people that monitored tags. I nuked needless new tags as often as I could, replacing them on each post with more correct existing tags. I ended up with a set of huge search bookmarks with regularly recurring bad tags to help keep things under control. Burninating bad tags became a delightful passtime. But eventually I burnt out on SO as a whole and dropped out. That was a decade ago now. I recently rediscovered one of the search bookmarks and lemme tell you things got really bad in my absence. The New Tag Deletionist Cabal is no more. Every volunteer counts.
