I will just restate what I said in the Other thread about pins modified to 
Google Tags

Bit of a storm in a tea cup

As far as I can see this has being the extent of GGTAGS in the last year or 
more so, with respect, I suggest education before restricting or dictating.

This is only my opinion but I have seen dozens of forums fail by the 
overzealous slippery slope arguments that gradually disable features, 
create moderator roles where none were necessary, all due to perceived only 
possibilities.

As soon as you remove member responsibility you stop them taking 
responsibility.

Please solve problems by education first, not reducing things to an 
imaginary lowest common denominator.

Sincerely
Tony
