... one of my biggest pet peeves is something significant about the story left out of the tags. When something like this happens, especially if the twist is a particular turn off of mine, I usually go to the end and comment about my disappointment. I then come up with a score based on how I liked the story until it took what I considered a wrong turn, then deduct based on how bad the wrong turn was. And yes, I've seen a five star story turn into a one star debacle more than once. Those I finish based on the "car wreck principle", I keep reading to see haw bad it gets. I can understand an author not wanting to spoil a twist in the story with too many tags, but if that's the case, then a disclaimer at the beginning to the effect of "this story isn't going to end up where you think it will" might be a good idea.
Idea for the moderators/owners. I've worked in databases - you can do tag clean up fairly easily. See those duplicate tags? do a search and replace to make them all the "master" tag of the type (say "cuffs" to "handcuffs"). I've done that kind of thing all the time
