Can a tag be removed so dwA users no longer see it? I'd like to help clients of my product focus in on relevant and useful content via specific tags. Currently our product has several tags, some of which should be pruned and eliminated. I have some sort of admin access so I may be able to perform this task. Is it possible? Thanks.

As an admin, I can delete tags as deemed appropriate. Please ping me directly.
Hello Peter! Will deleting a tag remove all instances of that tag from every single question on dWA? Do we have the option to replace instead of delete?
Once a tag is deleted, can users create them the next time they post a question?
Thanks!
Hi Joseph, I was assuming that we would have to have the tag removed from all questions before asking Peter to delete it from dW Answers. I never thought to ask him to remove tags from questions or replace them so hopefully he can answer that ...
But, you may be interested in a couple points from the sametime that I just had with Peter:
Peter is going to shoot an email to AnswerHub to see if there is a way to basically get rid of tags with no questions
Peter said AnswerHub implemented a feature so we can say what chars are not allowed in tagsor what chars are allowed in tags so we took out spaces -- so this may help reduce the amount of incorrect tags
That's awesome - thanks for the information Theresa!

Hi Bill. What I have done is gone to the list of all tags and for those posts that include the tags that I don't want to see, I have changed them. When you have changed them all, that tag should disappear from the suggested tags. It will remain that way unless someone adds it to another post, which might then show that people expect to see that tag.
Hey Bill, I thought the same thing that you posted here. However, when posting a new question today, dW Answers displayed the following "Suggested Tags":
But, the only one of those tags which I see when I display all the tags is "CICS". I believe I have done the edits you suggested to remove the others from all the posts but that they are still displaying "Suggested Tags".
@PeterYim - I'm hoping you can help us.
