These polls are asking the wrong question, IMO. Are you talking about pre-emptive curation or after-the-fact curation?

I (a wrangler+writer+reader, who doesn't deal with many juggernaut fandoms) get a lot of value out of being able to input my own tags and have them instantly accessible, without having to go through an approval process first. And I get the impression that's what you meant by "some form of uncurated tagging" in the second question. But like [personal profile] jack_of_none said, all those tags will get evaluated by wranglers eventually, so they aren't uncurated forever -- and I wouldn't want them to be.
