There needs to be a way for a person or group to essentially own a tag to enable moderation. It might be one of those rare problems for which a block chain is a good solution, because there would need to be a public ledger showing who is a moderator for a tag at any given moment.
There is no need to own a tag, nor to tack blockchain into a problem to try and sell a solution. Ever.
You seem confused about what block chains actually are. I'm not suggesting anyone sell anything.
And if you think moderation isn't needed for healthy online communities, I invite you to visit Twitter.
Moderation like you are proposing in no way requires someone to "own a tag".
Anyone can use #CocaCola. Coca Cola Company does not get to dictate, audit or execute how people use the tag, nor should anyone else.
Who is allowed to take mod actions, then, if tags replace communities?
