If your freeforms are the ones in the first group, we think these freeforms are too vague and have too much wiggle room to be accepted as is. For example, 'Character Death In Dream' could refer to the viewpoint character dreaming of their own death or dreaming of another character's death; either way could be considered a hurt, but would result in two very different pictures/stories.
If your freeforms were in the second group, these are too general and the method of hurt/heal is not clear. For example, 'A/B/O - Alphas are Subservient to Omegas' does not explain whether this is Alphas/Omegas being hurt, or whether this is a comfort to A/Os. "Alphas are unwillingly compelled to be subservient to Omegas" would show more of a hurt; "Alpha chooses to be subservient to Omega to appease mate" would be more of a comfort.
In general tags for this exchange should fall either into a hurt (something that harms a character), a comfort (something that "restores" a character after they are hurt/brought to a low point), or a combination of the two.
I know we have talked in EAD, but figured I would post this as well in case it helps you (or anyone else who might need some clarification).
