Best answer

One solution would be to use categories, which are essentially the same as predefined tags.

My Tagging Tools plugin may help with the first point, for v1.4+. You can prevent users below a certain number of points from creating new tags. If you set the points really high it would apply to everyone.

I never actually submitted it to Gideon for inclusion there. But I don't remember submitting my Markdown plugin. Anyway, once I update and get them in order, I will ask gideon if he will list them there.

This will be possible in Q2A 1.5 using a filter module in a plugin. This seems to be a common request so perhaps someone will develop this plugin soon!

How is having two sets of unrelated categories different from having two tags? I don't mean the question sarcastically. I honestly don't understand the difference. Thanks for explaining.

Categories - a dropdown list consisted of a limited number of choices that a user can choose to classify the data.

Tags - a text field with an unlimited number of choices that a user can choose to classify the data

IMHO, tags are a total waste of time for anything other than the database or wiki of a very small number of people.
