<p>While I sympathize with your efforts and have no doubt about your good intentions, I would like to draw your attention on two points. </p>

<p>First, it would have been better to propose such big changes for discussion here, on Meta. This is the ideal place for discussing whether adding a new tag would be relevant or not, in the spirit of this question <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/830/regression-tags">Regression tags</a>, for example. It appears that such a tag might lead to some confusion, and while you coined the term "mathematically derived answers" to justify it, it's not obvious (to me at least) how it can be used in a search engine.</p>

<p>Second, I would have appreciated that you posted this question on our Meta, rather than the SO Meta because we, users and mods, are the first concerned. </p>

<p>I often found myself spending 2 to 4 hours (day and/or night) on stats.SE because I simply like the idea of sharing thoughts and experience on a wiki. Whenever I can contribute to it, I try my best. But be sure I'm not after rep, badges or whatever. I simply find it is a better opportunity to learn, exchange, and archive a lasting record of great solutions to specific questions, compared to mailing-lists. That's the purpose of the SE community, unless I missed something. So, this is what I was doing as a "simple" user, and that I try to keep going as a mod. Being a mod also means that I have to pay attention to how the site is going on, but I always try to think as a user, and when I'm flagging questions, answers, or when I make some edits, it is has an user, not a mod. Before closing a question or an inappropriate reply, I generally leave a message and wait for user action or others' opinions. We are not "super-user", we are not here to control everything, because <em>this site is driven by its community of users</em>. Frankly, I don't think there was any abuse from our moderation privileges in this particular case. As I said, it would have been better if you asked us before, and when I say <em>us</em> it means <em>all users</em>.</p>

<p>Also we are fortunate enough to have protected a respectful, though punctilious, place since the beta stage. I hope this will continue, for the good of all.</p>
