i would love to have a module that does away with duplicate taxonomy terms for all vocabs.

perhaps you can add an option to add the terms for each of the other vocabs?

So like merge vocabs, ignoring the terms that appear in List A that also appear in List B?

yeah pretty much

Much more important is the free tagging vocabs.

basically:

vocab1:sports>>news
vocab2:world >>news

should nt happen, news should show both sports and general world news

A module that performs this kind of function actually wouldn't be that hard to code. Really it's a simple matter of pushing the vocabs into arrays and finding the differences between them. Although there could be some performance issues when trying to compute the difference on several vocabs. Two, three, and even four or five vocabs wouldn't be too bad, though.

It's a good idea (how can there not be a module that does this already?) but unfortunately this isn't the intention with my module. The original intended purpose of my module was to simply prune out disallowed terms in a free tagging environment. I fall victim to feature creep often so I'm going to put myself away from this temptation. :)

Maybe you could write a module to do this and post it here on Drupal.org?

LOL i am a noob ;)

a site usually only has one free tagging vocab.

Can you make your module scan the other vocabs and use those terms in a blacklist automatically?

and whats wrong with feature creep?? feature creep= integration ;)

Unfortunately, feature creep will always over do it. I thought this article from a Google search hit the nail on the head.
