deprecate curse

There's a tag for the concept of curse which at first seems reasonable given that it's a known concept. However, posts with this tags are all over the place, ranging from a certain tattoo, some kind of magic, or person went insane. So I think it should be deprecated.

It's only 16 posts, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. We do not need to deprecate every potentially and slightly mistagged post. Remember that deprecation is only when we want to stop a tag from getting used or one is unsalvageably polluted, and looking at the post changes history, there's no such issue with the tag, nor is there any forward effort from you to fix the supposed issues you've been seeing.

A recommendation: instead of filling the forums with BURs to deprecate things citing supposed problems, try fixing the tags yourself first (and make sure to ask or check with someone) so that they are more representative of their intended purpose. Cut down on the deprecation-happy BURs and focus on gardening first.

tl;dr Downvoting purely because you're calling for a deprecation on a small tag without first attempting to fix the issues you cite and without said problems being egregious.
