The silent tag is used in at least two different contexts , to do with silent-installs and silent-cooling - could we get rid of the silent tag, and replace them with seperate, more accurate tags?

So, you're not asking for a burnination, but community opinion on a manual retagging?– Daniel Beck ModFeb 8, 2012 at 11:22

pretty much. I think. The tag as is is utterly unclear, and would be better off split. once its retagged though, the tag needs to be burninated.– Journeyman Geek ModFeb 8, 2012 at 11:28

Just go ahead and retag these few questions, then we can call in the airstrike.– Daniel Beck ModFeb 8, 2012 at 11:29

A proper burnination would prevent it from reappearing though.– Daniel Beck ModFeb 8, 2012 at 11:57

Yep and tomorrow someone else will add it to a question. We really should blacklist it.– Daniel Beck ModFeb 8, 2012 at 11:59

well the request is for burnination aka tag delete, not blacklist @DanielBeck– Sathyajith Bhat ModFeb 8, 2012 at 12:00

What possible use is deletion if the tag just reappears days later?– Daniel Beck ModFeb 8, 2012 at 12:19

In the long term, given the fact that we still have so many stupid tags, none really. I guess it would make sense to request to blacklist the really stupid ones right away instead of only removing them. So maybe we should clarify this for every new
[retag-request], like you just did here. @DanielBeck– slhckFeb 8, 2012 at 13:10 -

… but we still find useless tags every week? Somebody with enough rep must have created them.– slhckFeb 8, 2012 at 14:17

@Sathya If that were an effective requirement, we wouldn't have all that crap around, especially not tags that were just deleted.

@DanielBeck regardless of rep, people do stupid stuff. Also, feel free to raise a blacklist request. Mods can't blacklist and devs have made it clear in the past that blacklists are rarely applied– Sathyajith Bhat ModFeb 8, 2012 at 14:58
