<p>As far as I can tell, tag scoring (used as a counter towards a <code>tag badge</code>) measures score based on how many upvotes all answers under a certain tag have gathered. It does not count <code>accepted answers</code> however. </p>

<p>I was wondering why is this the case, and whether this can/should be changed. Presumably, one would like to avoid having an OP generate two scores with an upvote + accepted. However, oftentimes new users have no upvoting privileges and thus can only accept an answer. Even when they do upvote and accept, it can be said that it deserves two scores.</p>
