Malicious Tagging or Tragic Coincidence?

I don't recall how I ended up at this thread, but when I was scrolling towards the bottom, I noticed the tags... Thought it was strange considering the recent news...

I'm guessing since the thread name is "Elizabeth Hyun" I think it tags automatically with other threads that contains the word "Elizabeth Hyun". Or maybe it depends on the popularity of the word.

It's an automated system that handles the tags now other than what the thread starter puts in (and they didn't exist when that thread was created).

I tracked down the post and removed those you flagged (and removed the image above with them).

Thanks for reporting
