Temporarily disabling ‘Ignore’ tags
Hiding ignored tags is useful, for example, if I'm a C# guy but not a Java guy so I like to answer C# questions that I find casually on the front page and ignore the Java questions I can't answer.
However, if I'm looking for a solution to a problem tagged "C#" that's answered in a question that happens to be in some small way related to Java and thus is also tagged "java", then I won't see it.
What do you think?
