Justification
Still in progress towards Milestone 1:

• Limited tag posting for registered users as detailed in Permission-Conditioned Posting #10
• Still need to refine tagging abilities with pre-loaded tag data for admin and moderators
• Can benefit from specifying scope further for tagging from an admin and moderator role
• Can benefit from extension into chat privileges to avoid overlap with other issues
