I think moderating tags is the same as any other moderation. If there are brigades, you can revert all tag changes made by the brigading users the same way you can remove all content posted by a user when banning them.

You don’t seem to get my point. For a platform to let me reliably filter a whole topic, the majority of posts need to be tagged with that topic first. Reddit/Facebook don’t do that, they have communities and loose categories, not consistent topic tags across all posts. Twitter only partially does it with hashtags, and hashtags are neither comprehensive nor applied consistently. I’m talking about platform-level, booru-style or collaborative tagging so blocking a tag actually removes the tagged content without me having to unsubscribe from dozens of communities or build giant keyword lists.

Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend adding the feature to mark comments as solutions. Websites like StackOverflow often have many answers that aren’t the best marked as solutions, and I believe platforms like Codidact have learned from those mistakes. StackOverflow, in particular, suffers from over-moderation, which complicates the process.
At the same time, reputation is a key factor that motivates people to contribute answers. I’m curious about how Codidact has addressed this issue.
Instead, consider allowing users to mark questions as solved rather than comments. Implementing a voting system similar to Slashdot, where users can categorize responses as helpful, funny, or other descriptors, might be more effective. This way, contributors are incentivized to help, as they can gain reputation points. Then, a leaderboard showcasing the most helpful contributors on a weekly or monthly basis could further encourage participation.
