I use it for powerusers like Pug as well, and then for trolls and for know it alls who like to argue. For each I use an emoji to describe my feelings towards them. So, for example "๐ Disingenuous", or "๐ {username}"

I tag people that don't converse in good faith. So there's people who attempt to misuse the Socratic method to derail any conversation. People who are just blatantly bigoted and aren't open to other perspectives. A tag helps me from getting sucked in by an interesting question.
And there's people who aren't necessarily good faith/bad faith. Like people I suspect are just way over on the Spectrum to where they will take everything very literally and no philosophical or theoretical conversation will go anywhere with them. I don't avoid conversation with these types of people, necessarily, but I might approach conversation differently.
Mainly if I feel they're some kind of troll on political discussions (i.e. the war in Gaza). I usually go back and forth a few times but if I feel like they're intentionally sidestepping the issue to make some kind of mundane point I tag them as such.
I like you're idea of tagging the nice users though. I think I might start doing that.
Also, what's pug mean?
I don't. Mostly because I haven't heard about it until now, because a use case for me would be exactly what you use it for. As far as I can see, Voyager doesn't provide an interface for it.
I can tag with @ followed by name. Now sure if that's what you meant

I think I misunderstood what you meant by user tag. I interpreted it as a method for me to assign tags to people that only I would be able to see.
For example, if I were to tag you as "A hoopy frood", I would see that next time we happened to interact out of the blue, so I'd get a rough outline of who you are to me. Not sure how such a mechanism would be implemented.
