The tags were bought back because a lot of people missed them. The tags in some threads encapsulated the history of those threads and weren't used for bile and hate as they have been elsewhere (Football thread).
Just because there is a problem with some of the tags, does not infer there is a problem with all of the tags.
If I were willing to permanently nuke the contents of the tags as they are today and lose that history, then I would just disable them for good instead of resetting them.
Their utility as a search tool has long been lost, and unfortunately the predominant use today adds little value to the forum and only reflects badly on the people on here.
What I will do today is simply hide them from unregistered users. So that only people using the forum see them. At least that will limit the impact that the negative ones have on the lurkers at large.
