I'm noticing a lot of images that still have the tagme tag but don't need it anymore. I'm going through and removing them, and there a lot and I might need some help since I need go through each image on a case-by-case basis, but shouldn't it be the job of the person who responds to the "tagme" request? Plus, by cleaning out the list, it'll be easier to see what still needs to be done.

I don't use tagme anymore but I still treat it as a tag that anyone can add and anyone can remove. I don't think that the person who added it should keep track of the tagcount on said post to determine when it should be removed.

Also keep in mind that the tag is relative: on posts with only 10 tags there might simply not be anything else left to tag and on really big posts with a lot going on, a tagcount of 40 might not even be a lot (although I do believe that you can remove it at that point).

If you add tags and feel you've added enough you should be removing the tag. Yes.

I'm following the wiki rule of 12, and Gdelscribe helped clarify, if you're the one editing the tags and you fix the problem that tagme describes, then you should remove the tag.

Yeah if you add tags because you saw tagme then it's more or less mandatory to remove it, but if you didn't see it and just added tags on the fly...

Well, then that's the exception.

Cleaned it from the posts that don't need it. If you notice specific users constantly mistagging it, they should be reported.

As the wiki says, it should never be tagged for posts that already have dozen tags.

Almost nothing is ever fully tagged, and tagme becomes useless if it's added to posts that are already tagged well enough. Since that's most posts on the site. Also, it gets quickly unmanageable when overtagged, and the posts that actually need urgent attention get lost among the other ones.
