 * Not sure how you can solve this problem but I’ll mention it anyway. When spam
   posts are submitted they often put spammy words and links in the tags too.
 * The posts themselves don’t get published so that’s fine, but it seems that the
   tags still persist.
 * Is it possible to prevent first time posters (etc) from submitting tags, I guess
   you could add an on save filter that overwrites their tags with the existing 
   ones?
