Mention explanatory description
- ## Moderator only tags
- Another existing feature that might be relevant as part of a solution: some tags can only be added by a moderator, such as "status-completed". If "voltage" is created as a moderator only tag, then the description can explain why it's not useful, to reduce user frustration when they find they cannot use it. I'm not sure if synonyms would be part of this approach or not.
- ## Acceptable?
- Does this work as a solution? Would moderators be happy with this or would it clutter their workflow too much? Does this depend on how many forbidden tags there are likely to be?
- ## Alternative
- If using moderator only tags for this is not acceptable, would it be useful to create a third type of tag, that cannot be added to posts but does not clutter the moderator only tags?
This would mean that instead of a notice not to use them, they would simply be impossible to use.
