Summary:Can't remove tags from my post - only in one community.
Original Request:
I cannot remove tags from my entry in the community: exchange_trade.

I have tried removing tags directly by using the "edit entry" option as well as the "edit tags" page option. Niether have worked.

Here is the post in question: http://exchange-trade.livejournal.com/226879.html.

However, I can add tags to my post just fine.

Thank you for your inquiry. The settings for controlling who has access to add or remove tags in a community is controlled by the community maintainers. In this community, the settings are such that an entry author can add tags that have already been defined, but they cannot add brand new tags or remove tags. You will need to contact the maintainers to ask if they would consider adjusting these settings, or else ask them to remove the undesired tags on your behalf.

I guess I should be more specific. I'm not trying to add/remove tags from the community, just trying to remove tags from my post.

Yes, that is what I was referring to -- each community owner can define who is allowed to remove tags from individual entries. In this particular community, they have defined that only maintainers can remove tags from entries.

You can see the two tag-related settings by viewing this page: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/tags.bml

For communities, the "Who can create new tags and add/remove tags from entries?" field can be set to 'Maintainers only', which is the case here.
