* Tagging validation issues
Met with Ryan M and Chris V to discuss a path forward for dealing with
troublesome data submitted to and currently stored in the [[id:7e503917-646f-4275-aab9-3a125b99cbfd][Tagging Service]].
** Tags allowing spaces

** Tags allowing commas
https://jira.aweber.io/browse/CCPANEL-11834
** Sanitizing / normalizing tags
https://jira.aweber.io/browse/CCPANEL-11888

- Tags are currently normalized to lowercase
- Should we normalize spaces?
- Should we disallow or remove commas?
- Should we validate only new tags?
  - There is no way for the tagging service to know that a tag is already in use
    elsewhere
- How many tags are in the system that meet our definition of malformed?
- Should we start by adding validation?
  - We could implement a check that only tracks metrics when an added tag fails
    validation
    - This can be added to awsubs to see how many subscribers we would fail to
      add

Chris will take some additional time to think through the options.
