Currently we have this wording:
"Do not include tags which have no relation to the beatmap or its song. Tags relating to the beatmap's style, storyboard, video, or background content are considered related to the beatmap and would be allowed in tags."
Now, if we go by this, it opens up a whole bunch of loopholes. Lets say Mapper X maps a song from Kancolle, and uses an Azur Lane background. According to this guideline, you would be allowed to include Azur Lane in the tags, despite the song not being related to the franchise in any way. As a result, anyone searching for Azur Lane songs would get a result for something completely wrong.
This is very misleading for no good reason, as it can lead to entirely different results than what you'd expect when searcing for something. Tags should help you find a song you're looking for, not a background. The same might apply to video / storyboard, including tags related to "style" seems rather unnecessary, but not something that has to be removed imo.
As such, I propose this rule to be reworded to something like:
"Do not include tags which have no relation to the beatmap or its song. Tags relating to the beatmap's style*, storyboard*, video*, or background artist are considered related to the beatmap and would be allowed in tags."
Obviously not the final wording, feel free to suggest better options, though with this the scenario I described would be really easy to avoid.
*idk if those should be changed as well
