I just found the tag. It has 79 questions (4 closed) and 2 followers.

Some of the questions are about some kind of statistics thing, but most of them are about moderating social networking type things. A lot of the questions are too broad or are about a problem specific moderation tool and don't have an MCVE.

Let's moderate this tag.

    I thought that most of the postings were actually regarding the statistical term: "moderation". If you're going to "burninate" it then perhaps you should allow substitution of "moderator variable" or "moderation model" for the statistical use. Commented May 12, 2016 at 21:29
  • @42- Most of the questions on the first page are, but most of the questions on later pages aren't. Commented May 12, 2016 at 21:30
  • Fine. I offered an alternate couple of options if you think the majority goes the other way. I also took a stab at actually offering a definiton which at the moment seemed up-for-grabs.. Commented May 12, 2016 at 21:32

    Removing this tag would threaten the moderator-industrial complex. They will never allow it. There may be unfortunate accidents among those of us who read this question. Commented May 13, 2016 at 12:08

    Oh God... I saw the new title and thought, "Oh, hey, Floyd reference! I wonder if anyone realizes..." Reading the comments, my mind nearly exploded from brilliance. I knew there was a reason to love this community. This tag may be just another brick in the wall, but the commentors here most certainly aren't. Commented May 13, 2016 at 15:27
  • Anyone can explain to me how a 79 question tag can become a brick in the wall? I can chew through those 79 questions while I cook some pasta :/ Commented May 13, 2016 at 15:29

    Posts regarding the statistical terms moderator variable or moderation model can just use a more general statistics. Anything too in-depth on those concepts would probably be better suited to Math.SE. Commented Jun 8, 2016 at 16:37

    @brandaemon: Note that the process referenced in the italics at the top of the current edition of the question explicitly says that the joky title will be replaced with a straight-laced one at this stage in the process. Commented Jun 9, 2016 at 0:02

    @Leight See step 2 of Burnination Process: Any punny titles will be replaced with, "Should we burninate [name of tag]?" Commented Jun 9, 2016 at 10:53

Please note that:

  • Posts regarding the statistical terms moderator variable or moderation model can just use a more general tag . Anything too in-depth on those concepts would probably be better suited to Math.SE.
  • Moderation questions related to probably refer to a comment moderation tool, which is not a programming tool. Integrating/activating that tool on a site is a very specific thing that does not need a separate tag. or should be sufficient replacements if needed.
