When you model a floor or structural slab etc. then tag it, the tag nicely centers itself about the slab. Nice gesture, but only useful when the tag is dropped the first time. 

If I move a tag into different position to suit other annotations and graphic quality in that view, this relocated position is where I want the tag to stay for the duration of the project regardless of whether or not I change the slab geometry. (When slab geometry is changed the tag re-centers itself to the new geometry).

Is there something within the tag family that can be disabled so that tags don’t move when I edit the slab? Changing the geometry of the slab is likely going to happen many times in the duration of many projects. This revit-ism of relocating the slab tag for me every time I update a slab shape is counterproductive to getting the actual drawing views complete. If my slab tag shows up in multiple views I don’t want to have to predict how many of my views this slab tag has moved in.

Pinning them does not stop this behavior.

I don't believe theres a way to do what you want. I do suggest that you don't tag things until they are a little more perminant. This goes for rooms, doors, windows etc as well.
