Surprising new "subscription"

Hi,
this morning I was greeted with vividly colourful tropical images in my 23 subscriptions RSS feed. Not that I wouldn't like a colourful surprise for breakfast, but I'm fairly certain I'm not subscribed to "psychedelic posters".
They don't appear in my subscriptions or contact list, either, but the RSS feed seems to be convinced that I am... looks like something's got mixed up somewhere.
Hope everyone else has as colourful a start into their day too ;)

That's right, that is the feed. The user name in question is [...].
As I said, may be some mixup, but somehow it feels like it's some "clever" marketing attempt...

It seems that you're subscribing to the tag hdr and this is why the photos are popping up in your RSS feed. Hidden feature and all.

Is there a place I can see what tags I subscribe to? Not sure I have HDR on my list, but then, I wouldn't be surprised if I had ;)
Don't get me wrong, I really do like the feature as such and would sorely miss it.
The problem is it's a bit hard to control, as tag subscriptions don't show up in your contacts (why should they...) nor in subscriptions (the aptly named "manage subs and contacts" links to the contacts page...), so once away, there's no way to see what tags one subscribes to, or to unsubscribe.
While we're talking tags, have you anything planned to increase the usefulness of tags in the long run?
The way it is now, and has been since the beginning, tags are nice to have, but not really as useful as I'd like them to be... you know, tag operations, AND, OR, NOT...
I think it would help a lot of people who tag their "images" "with" ""currently" really" "useless" "tags" "like" "and" "to" "or" "in" -- how is one supposed to find such an image again? The only viable alternative at the moment is to have lots of individual tags like "images with not exactly useless tags like this one", but having to remember or find such tags kind of defeats their purpose, does it not?
How nice and clean it would be to look for 'images +helpful +tags -fluff ' ;)
And maybe I should have posted that as a separate thread. Who is going to find that again...

Alright, we've added tags (include unsubscribe to the subscriptions) so it's easier to use this feature -- or rather: so it's possible to use this feature. This also makes it clearer what in you RSS feed.
Tags are actually searchable through the standard search feature -- and you can use boolean operators such as "and", "or" and "not". So your example would be written as images and helpful and tags not fluff. You can also throw parenthesis in there.
