Tags do not have to be a one to one relationship... in this way you can help minimize the effect of users simply trying to game the system. Of course, it requires a relatively active community of taggers to do this because you need more data. Thus, in the early stages of the system, before there is a lot of data, you may see disproportionate effects of single tags on single objects.

My point is that you can't trust everyone to submit truthfully. Whether it's category or tags. Too many people are just not computer savvy, or knowledable about what constitutes offensive etc. And then there's the jerks who go out of their way to shock and offend.Taggin is very helpful and I like this available option on video hosts. But I think it too would fail. Category, tags, and community flagging (whistle blowing) may the combination solution for hosting providers that don't generate enough income from donations to pay for screening software systems or human screeners.NerissaPS-- did you see your credit on freevideocoding?
