user1587: So as i was waiting for Windows to Update i was messing around on the main page  while i was logged and look what i saw

i get the feeling new users see identification-request and think we still use it but ignore the error that pop up about us blacklisting it (which they shouldn't).
is there any way we can remove identification-request tag from here?

user3043: The tag is there because its on almost 400 questions. You'll need to remove it from those -- there's no specific way of preventing a blacklisted tag from appearing in the home page list, except making it less popular.

user1908: I guess someone fixed this - JNat marked the post on Meta.SE as [status-completed], and indeed, [identification-request] is no longer listed as one of the tags on the front page for non-logged-in users. 

And it didn't even take 6-8 weeks! Great stuff; my thanks to the folks at SE.
