Just a reminder that tags' usefulness in quickly asessing a work is to some extent inversely proportional to the number of tags.
(Bringing this up since we're talking about adding a bunch of tags)
For instance, if a series has more than five or six tags, and certainly if it has more than ten, it starts to become easy to miss one.
(Also, after a certain point, the more there are the less consistently they'll be applied because just considering them all gets to be a pain.)
Mangaupdates separates tags into genres and categories for this very reason, I believe (and in that system not every manga has all its proposed categories visible); I'm not saying the same should be done here necessarily, just food for thought.
TL;DR: sites where important tags get drowned by insignificant ones are annoying.
