I always thought tags were going to be something like: http://i.imgur.com/rcAnMkX.png (I'm not a graphic artist, obviously, haha); but the point there was that it would allow people to create tags, up or down vote them, and maybe even add comments and let the democratic process (the community) decide which tags are useful and which aren't (possibly prune tags that are garbage or are not useful). Or something like: http://i.imgur.com/gy1MGo6.png That could perhaps use https://wordpress.org/plugins/fl3r-feelbox/ (or something like it, doesn't matter)... I was thinking the whole tag creation, up-vote, down-vote, smiley, sad-face, was all going to be community driven, instead of TC driven, but maybe someone can explain it to me (like I am five).

I think it would be a great direction to go with the tags (and personally I prefer the faces/graphic version). I think the trick will still be figuring out what tags are defined/used. I don't think we should have just "any tag" added/used, but of course anybody from the community should be able to submit/propose a tag.
Ok, so some basic moderation around the 'add your own tag' in http://i.imgur.com/rcAnMkX.png that can go through some kind of review process (or something else)? Maybe the TC gets to have +2 +A powers on people submitting new tags, making sure duplicates are collapsed, categories are in english?, other basic checks (but in general staying out of the business of tag defining/reviewing/other, let the community figure it out).
I personally (both as a community member and TC member) would love to see more of this moving out to the community as a whole rather than being something defined and set up within the TC. Note that one thing the TC has been trying to focus on here is subjective measurement of the tags that are created, what you're suggesting is a bit different from that, but personally I like it and think that in a number of cases it could be very valuable.
