If this is going to be a forced closed taxonomy system, it definitely needs a better management and application system for tags. Tag categories would be helpful for this...but yeah. I have to agree with Joel here about this having to have a predefined, comprehensive and generic list of tags. This doesn't work for all communities.

Eesh, ok. Guess we'll have to hold off on upgrading the 2 other communities as well.

Alright so I got a v5 beta community set up. And we're running into an issue with Tags. Is there a way to make the tag system an open system, like currently exists on v4? For the life of me, I can't find one. As someone who runs a very diverse community where tagging is not only essential, but extremely diverse, this seems like a change for the worse to have it only follow a closed, pre-defined list generated by the admins. There were hundreds of species tags that were in use on one of my older communities that I was likely going to bring back with the launch of ICv5, but this kind of puts a damper on that. Looked at all of the tag settings, but nothing makes it an open system again that I could find.
