Misuse of Tagging Feature

I found Tagging is the most irritating features on Facebook, people tags you in any stupid images, celebrity images or just tag you to get comments and likes from your friends, which is not good for a Facebook user, but Facebook has a feature by which you can review tags before posting, if you confirm that tag then it will show on your profile else it will be removed, this is quite easy and simple by which you can manage and control photo and post tagging on Facebook.
