There's a potential issue here with "tag spam". A malicious user might tag a node with all the most popular terms. That node will then appear
While I certainly don't want to suggest this discussion is irrelevant, I think it's fair to say that every node of a Drupal site has a much better chance of being viewed by some sort of admin than an open-ended system like delicious. I think the biggest problem with "tag spam" and a Drupal site would be if we allowed commenters to insert tags - ignoring that, it's a safe bet that tag spam in a community-oriented site like Drupal (as opposed to, IMO, a service-oriented site like delicious) would be more easily seen and addressed.
I'd agree until money is involved. If you have a section of the site where people are allowed to advertise services for money, someone *will* spam it. The classic example is a Craigslist style "Listings" services. -- Julian Bond Email&MSM: julian.bond at voidstar.com Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 T: +44 (0)192 0412 433 S: callto://julian.bond/
