Should we add [minecraft] to the tag blacklist?
I'm in favor of this.
If we clean up without addressing the underlying source of these tags then Arqade members & moderators will have to continually retag these posts.

Rename [aaaaaa] → [a-reckless-disregard-for-gravity]
I support this proposal.
It would also prevent confusion with the (pseudo-)sequals AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome and AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! (Force = Mass x Acceleration)

boi-afterbirth works fine and fits with established conventions of things like ac-revelations which we have for Assassin's Creed: Revelations, which also exceeds the character limit.

Can we rename the [mgs-5-online] tag to [metal-gear-online-3]?

Rename [simcity] tag to [simcity-5] or [simcity-2013]
The simcity tag should be a synonym for simcity-2013. That way, if they come out with a new title that they also want to call SimCity, we could just change the synonym.
