Seen from the other side: when you introduce a shared tag, you better keep it short and simple. Maybe they could switch to #pob? I can imagine typos will creep in easily when you add a tag as an afterthought and that field isn't spell-checked.
In my day job, I saw someone putting a space in a URL, which isn't even possible here.
Shorter tags are good, but this one gives me a purpose :)
