I called on an old friend to help out with this one.
Here's a greasemonkey script that will eliminate the tags from the forum, so if it's a big enough deal to you, you can use this. In order to make it work, you need to do the following:
1. Use
Firefox
2. Install
Greasemonkey
3. Install
CPTags
That should take care of it, though I'll mention that it doesn't seem to work for admins for some reason.
