Can we disallow the use of “belongs-on-xxxxxxx” and “not-programming-related” tags?

As the title says, i have seen few questions where the owner of the question had tagged it as "Not Programming Related" and still it's closed by marking it as "Not Programming Related"

So, I am really confused how to handle with "Not Programming Related" tags.

Just think of a tag like [not-programming-related] like an abuse of the tag system in the same way that [belongs-on-] is.

Generally injected into your eyeballs by those who, although they have enough rep to flag and/or comment what they think the question should be closed for, will instead retag with this nonsense.

If you see it, remove it.

So? Do you also think that questions tagged offensive shouldn't be closed as offensive?

  • Yes. If it is offensive, flag it as offensive so it gets closed. Everything else just clutters the site.
