That is a good idea, I have a partial list of tags in my meta-question, but we should have a general list of bad tags
community-wikied so that everyone can add tags, maybe even a counter how often those bad tags were resurrected. The limit to get a tag on the blacklist is pretty high if I remember correctly, so we should have some good reasons if we want to add a tag there
"The limit to get a tag on the blacklist is pretty high if I remember correctly, so we should have some good reasons if we want to add a tag there" Exactly, hence why I suggest we keep count
After the public beta begins, we should promote this site to increase our number of experts and get some more traffic. A good starting poins would be to promote the site to skeptical bloggers an on message boards targeted to skeptics.

I'll reserve downvoting for unsourced claims that I find dubious, I won't use it for unsourced claims that I would guess are right. I'm hoping that people will improve their answers over time. I won't upvote such answers, though
I'm thinking of leaving a message like "Great answer, but I don't upvote answers who don't back up their claims by citing their sources." or something. People might think I'm an asshole though, if I do that alone.

So the question is backwards, it's not "What is the relationship", the question is "Why are t...
That answer is a good example
How can I, who know next to nothing about astrology, tell if he's not just saying nonsense?
If you need anything else feel free to flag for mod attention, @Fabian. e.g., do you want a special name/icon for that feed, or is good ole Feeds good enough?
You can mark StackExchange tags like so example, using [tag:].
This is not explained anywhere I can find in the Markdown help.
This probably applies across StackExchange sites.

This question contains a list of tags that are not useful and should be removed from any question should they appear again. This applies mostly to so-called meta tags, see also The Death of Meta Tags for more information.
If you see a new tag like this please remove it from the relevant question...
At some point we should be creating tag synonyms, as soon as we have users with enough reputation or some pro-temp moderators. We should start to collect possible synonyms and discuss them.
If you have an idea on a synonym or want to rename a tag to something better, please put your proposal in ...
I would like to ask for general criticism or scrutiny of a book (most searches result in sales), but am unsure how to keep it from being too general. The book makes a handful of claims, and to keep from being too open-ended, should i ask in the form (A) which claims are the most debunked / critic...
