Regarding Tags and Tagging

I don't want to be unnecessarily pedantic, but there seems to be little consistency in the way we tag. I'm not even sure I understand how it all works. If you have "Fred Flintstone" in your title, do you need to put "Fred, Flintstone" in your tags? I've seen a lot of folks tagging with "you, have, to, see, this, to, believe, it," Which is cute and all, but doesn't that just all a lot of noise? Who would ever want to see all the videos with "to" in the tags? We do get a lot of dupes because of poor tagging.

Someone once imagined VS becoming the "wikipedia of web videos". If that's in fact an aspiration, shouldn't we clean up our tagging a little?

Is there a post where general guidelines to effective tagging are?
