<p>It is clear that <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/big-list" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;big-list&#39;" rel="tag">big-list</a>  is a bad tag; it is a meta tag, it is used inconsistently, and it should go.</p>

<p>However, batch-removing &amp; blacklisting a tag seems to be a complicated procedure that requires an intervention of SE developers; site moderators cannot do it. In contrast, "burninating" a tag simply means manually removing the tag from all questions; this can be done by anybody (<a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/239191">see here</a>). If we burninate <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/big-list" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;big-list&#39;" rel="tag">big-list</a>, it seems unlikely that it will appear again (at least not often): it is not a tag that will come to many people's minds; so blacklisting does not necessarily seem to be needed.</p>

<p><strong>Therefore my suggestion is to manually remove <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/big-list" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;big-list&#39;" rel="tag">big-list</a> from all 37 threads</strong> (cleaning them up, if needed, along the way). This can be easily done in several goes. Yes, it will bump the threads, but it's not a big deal.</p>
