The only thing I really have to say about AO3's latest contretemps is: I told you so~

When a platform is so fucked up that the only way to make it run is to take out the navigation, then it's time to think real hard about who's been driving development.

*snorts* Yeah. The concept and current system behind tags is such a bizarre mashup of "we have to let everyone do anything they want" and "we have to be in complete control". Certainly non-author wrangling should have to go through review/approval, otherwise... oh god, the potential for vandalism. *winces at the thought* But let the /author/ have an "approve it/trash it" button! I mean, if she doesn't want to use it, fine, leave it for the wranglers (poor sods), but give her one! This could go so much faster and smoother with a tiny bit of forethought and automation. And someone in charge who's less of a flaming control freak.
