<div>That's an interesting assertion. I'm not convinced the
evidence backs it up, but I'll assume</div>
<div>(for the sake of argument) that you're right. So now
what? We refuse to deal with the 13th</div>
<div>proposal in a month so the proposer invents an
ill-conceived tag and uses it. Until and</div>
<div>unless you can put a mechanism in place that prevents
people inventing tags and using</div>
<div>them without discussing them on the list first, this is
not a good idea. Hint: I use `12 of my</div>
<div>30 posts/month proposing whimsical tags, so that the tag
I really want to use is not</div>
<div>subject to discussion so I'm free to use it anyway.<br>

<p>As Frederik has already pointed out, a proposal and the perhaps
the following "stamp of approval" is not necessary for using a
tag, some documentation would be nice but not required. So nothing
in my suggestion limits which tags can be used, it just rate
limits the influx of proposals that actually want attention, so
they can actually get it. <br>

<div>It appears you believe people are deliberately making
proposals to game the system. I'm</div>
<div>far from convinced that is the case. But if you're right
about people acting in bad faith, I'd</div>
<div>already thought of two ways people can game your proposal
before you replied to me, and I</div>
<div>wasn't even putting any effort into trying to find flaws
like that. Your proposal won't stop people</div>
<div>gaming the system (if anybody actually is gaming the
system), it will just change the tactics.<br>
