Forced submission tag changes? by ayvee

I just had someone go through and add/remove a bunch of tags on my submissions, some of which I very much do not want. I can remove them easily enough, but is this seriously something that any user can just do? Is there a way to lock it? Because this is rather frustrating.

Forced submission tag changes?

    At this point they've re-tagged over 40 of my submissions. I see an option in the settings that prevents other users from removing my tags. But that was already checked and they still somehow removed at least one.

    Nothing for preventing people from adding tags, though. At the very least there should be some kind of approval step on my end. I cannot believe this is how this actually works.

      And I sent a message to the user but they haven't stopped or responded yet. I don't think the ignore feature prevents them from seeing my stuff? So I don't think there are any measures I can take to prevent this...

    That happened to me, too.

      I mean I knew that user-submitted tags were a thing, but I guess I was under the assumption that there would be some kind of screening process for them? Probably because that seems like the only sensible way for it to actually work :|

    It seems pretty open for abuse if anyone can just change tags whenever.

      No kidding.
