@Braiam Does SE even blacklist a tag before removing it?

Braiam

@Fundamental yes

user259867

My experience with this is limited to the homework story on Math. There, Tim Post added a non-blocking warning while the cleanup was in process. The tag could still be added at that time, but thanks to the warning, that did not happen often. Then it was completely blocked and removed at the same time.
