As per your request I started working on tag support. My idea is if someone run the below command in a slack channel `X` then `X` itself will be subscribed to the tag `support`.

```plaintext
subscribe:tag support

```

Here every clients should configure outgoing webhook on slack with `URL(s)`, `Token` and `Trigger Word(s)` fields. `Trigger Word(s)` should be configured as `subscribe:, unsubscribe: etc.,` or we can give common name like `discourse:`.

Now what is your opinion @mcwumbly?
