How about limiting post tagging to either the topic starter, a user with X
amount of posts or X amount of registration time?

This way any newly registered accounts could not be used to simply spam the
tagging system.

I believe Esmi would be correct, in that information is stored in the
database regarding users tagging posts, else how else can you moderate your
own tags?.. (if no user association, how would bbPress know which tags were
created from your account).

Or even a custom "mods only block/box" that runs a basic query (maybe
onclick only, ajax perhaps, to keep queries down) that would select users
based on posts given the same tag X amount of times in the same day.

Thinking out loud.. :)

FWIW, I only mail the list if the user has posted multiple obvious spam 
posts. I figure it's easier to go straight to the user profile than have 
to deal with 3 or 4 modlook posts. From what I've seen, t31os does the same.

It's obviously stored in the db against the user, so I assume it could 
be pulled out with any query on 'modlook'. It would seem to be a 
reasonable datum point to assist forum mods
