Hey!
That's not very nice.

Count me in against the mandatory tags, and as one who thinks the Generic tag is garishly annoying.
My advice on the tag itself is to tone down the contrast - in design you want the eye to be drawn to the most important element on the page. I don't know what that would be, but it sure as heck shouldn't be the generic, default tag.
The boards look cluttered and ugly with all the tags flying around.
As for making people use them - just look at how many people here are expressing intense dislike of them. And then consider the fact that likely no one ever requested them to be put in place in the first place.
I'm sure it will become clear what the right choice is, but if you want to keep the generic tag a default, you should tone it done massively so that it isn't so darned obnoxious.

I may be retreading something that has already been said, but I'm going to go ahead and post it.
1. Seeing the big bold generic over and over again is a bit distracting.
2. the other tags get lost in the wash, reducing their utility.
My suggestion, instead of the generic tag get rid of it, it will make the other tags stand out a lot more, and be more useful. If it doesn't have a tag, then the fact that it's "generic" should be obvious by default. If it's a matter of having to use a tag, perioud then I'd say put in one thats the same colour as the background to somethingto it's not showing up like crazy.

Maybe.
BTW Tsyr, sig's don't accept HTML. To get the effect you're trying for use the following UUB code.
Code:
{URL=http://www.wayson.net/games/GAG/index.html}GAG{/URL} ({b}Gaga About Gnomes{/b})Use [] instead of {} when you actually put it in your 'sig.
