This is exactly why I don't tag photos of myself and remove tags when a friend does it. I have no idea why people are zealous about tagging people in photos, if it's a friend you already know the name, if it isn't then do you need to know?

It's not to help me identify who's in a picture, but rather to make it simpler to find pictures of a person.

Example: I want to photoshop a picture of my friend onto a dog; I could either load all pictures with him tagged in it, or laboriously go through all of my pictures from a given weekend, hoping that the picture I'm looking for is there.

Personally, I blocked the ability to tag me in any photos. I don't have to remove myself because no one but me can tag me in the first place.

How did you block that?

I don't believe he/she did that, because it's not possible.
