While we appreciate there are challenges with tagging, it’s hard to know of abuses without being informed of them, or accidentally discovering them ourselves. If you have any specific cases of concern, please can you reference them or report them.
Don't moderators have specific edit logs of sorts to help them investigate?
Anyway, people seem very particular about the following tags:
diamond calves
heart-shaped-calves
big round glutes
ass shelf
All aforementioned tags are heavily featured in many of my uploads, which, given my name, should be of no surprise to anyone. Alas, I'm very perceptive and will notice when something's been tampered with, and this has been going on for at least a few weeks now.
Moreover, I recall there being additional calf-specific tags that have since been removed. Mainly ones that were size-focused, such as big calves. Why those tags were removed I cannot say, but their existence helped categorise models more easily.
It's hard to gather if your preferred tags have been removed or other tags added.
What do you mean by "tampered with?"
You should see this thread:

The tag system is always in flux. It's less of a personal filing system, and more to aggregate image attributes based on community consensus.
Tags that are ambiguous, such as anything with "big" or "small," are always at risk of being merged.

Removed, but I'm stubbornly adding them back when I notice they're no longer there, so my most recent submissions seem "fine."

Just another way of saying removed/edited.

I'll take a look. Thanks!

I understand that very well. It appears as though it's others who don't.

I see. Don't have much else to add.
Thanks for clarifying.
Final thoughts: if you have a particular image at the center of a "tag war" report it to the mods (just use the orange "report" button) and we'll look into it.
I've removed some tags about hairyness when the subject in question is clearly not.
Right. There is a lot of random tagging that happens.

As asianfitnessfan indicates please do report situations like this, since we only have history of changes for a specific image, not for images overall. Also, without knowing which tags are involved we can’t decide who is getting it wrong.

I've been wary of doing that because I fear there could be a domino effect that would ultimately lead to more problems, but if the phenomenon persists, then I may as well start doing it.

But, I did mention the affected tags further up... Or am I misunderstanding you?

I was answering on mobile, and forgot you mentioned them. At the same time without context to any specific image I am not in a position to say yay or nay as to who might have reason.
At the same time, I can see some people feeling they may be unnecessary specific, especially if the basic “glutes” or “calves” aren’t mentioned.
What we don’t want to see is a tag fight of 30 changes long, because two people have a crusade.
Does this sword cut both ways? I don't make an effort of editing tags but I do see a lot of tags that don't belong and have done about 10 corrections. Things like 8 pack when it is 6 or glutes when someone is standing full frontal and showing none.
Legsmasher, which would you consider worse? Tags that don't belong or tags that are missing?

No worries. I try to add tags based on a mix of own definitions and community consensus, but as I touched upon earlier, it only takes a few individuals, or even just one single person to make site-wide changes because they have a very fixed taste which they seem to insist everyone else must have as well.

Yeah, I can appreciate that, but in these particular cases, the removals have all been retroactive and most likely due to the offended users being subscribed to said tags and making edits right as they pop up in their notifications because of their differing definitions.

Hence my apprehension about reporting such squabbles. People can be rather sensitive and defensive.

Honestly, I'd prefer if submissions were overtagged rather than undertagged; undertagging benefits no one, whereas overtagging, while annoying to some people, could lead to the discovery of other models one might like, which is nice. That's how I've discovered quite a few favourites.
I understand the title may sound ridiculous, but lately, I've found that people are retroactively correcting and removing tags not just on my uploads, but on others' as well. I try to be thorough and descriptive when posting something, and when I spot uploads that are lacking in tags, I try to make it a point to add relevant ones for everyone's sake, but it would seem as if certain individuals take offense to others having different opinions and definitions as to what constitutes X or Y, and as such, decide to make needless alterations that only irritate the community and reduce the likelihood of discovery. People are always going to have different takes on things, and tags are no different, so it should be in everyone's best interest to allow for some leeway, even if you think something isn't quite according to your own standards.
