I think tags would take away something from OTW. Part of the "fun" is getting ready to click on an unknown and gritting your teeth, waiting to see if you are going to be repulsed, shocked, scared, or just plain titttylated. If people can't hack it then maybe OTW isn't where they should be.
OTW is a special place, where the usual, everyday conventions don't apply. It is sort of like the area I live in. They want to put up a freekin' road sign every two feet. Tags are signs. It is a mistake to think that signs can control or modify behavior. If you have tags, and someone doesn't use them, then what do you do - ban them? This is not good for OTW.
Would I like it if I could wave a magic wand and be sure that 100% of tranny posts would have a "tranny" tag? sure, but I am not going to fool myself into thinking that a tag can protect me from everything/anything. Maybe it is good for people to see new things and things they don't like.
