Anent the Blacklist the [words] tag question, there are two questions that are tagged with the utterly useless words, but because they have been merged, the offending tag can't be edited out:
Can mods do anything about this? If I understand the mechanism correctly, these questions are preventing the words tag from being automatically deleted, which would at least prevent some people from resurrecting it like some zombie. (The real solution is of course to nuke this tag from orbit, but there seems to be some unwillingness from TPTB to implement that.)
