Sorry if that came off as bitter. It's just that I've been using the site to scratch a longstanding itch because I love tagging and cleanup jobs (was banned from e621 back in 2017 over stupid bullshit despite being a top-100 uploader), but Philomena's weird quirks (at least when you're used to danbooru i.e. restricting tag category switches to mods, letting lingering tags stay, allowing tag counters to go up for [blacklisted tags](https://github.com/cubfur/philomena/blob/master/config/tag.json)...) when you're used to danbooru have been adding a layer of frustration.
I was thinking of fixing the blacklisted tag issue by aliasing them to a "blacklisted tag" error tag, but even that is now out of the question.
