There are two ways you could handle it, either by white listing: only allowing a list of tags you've predefined and no other; or black listing: removing a list of tags you've predefined.

Either way would use the replace_metadata feature in personal.ini. There are numerous examples for replace_metadata in this thread already.
Yeah, I know, and I was conflicted about what to do about them, but in the end my need to control as much as I can about the downloaded fics won over. I totally support the desire of authors to add what they think relevant to their fics and have no issues with seeing them online, I just prefer to have a limited number of tags in calibre and my tablet.

I suppose whitelisting is what I'll try; I think Fanlore has a list of tropes and genres I might include and tweak.
