I know where this one is too, I think.
My tuppence-worth:
When there is momentum (i.e., between regular taggers, or within a couple of miles of the city centre or south Manchester, where a few of us seem to live), the moment a rider places a tag further than a couple of miles out, however easy to work out/find, the game stops dead...
Alternatively, because the same two-or-three riders might realise they're/we're hogging the game, although we might know where the tag is, we don't want to claim it right away because we're aware that this might be a turn-off for riders who haven't yet become involved in the game.
I enjoy the game most when there is competition; plenty of potential taggers, but this usually means the tags are quite close together. This also usually involves good weather and plenty of light. The game does tend to slow this time of year because the majority of us are pussies who don't ride in cold/darkness/rain, haha!
IMPORTANT! If you find a tag but miss out on claiming it because you're slow to post (TAGZUMP!) don't be disheartened; post it anyway because you've still contributed to the game!
