I don’t know if there’s a “definitive guide” - it’s not that complicated to get a torrent client up and running. What kind of content are you looking for? Movies, Series, Music, Games, Books…?
Best is probably to try to get access to a decent private tracker, and an “easy” one - one with a bonus point system for seeding and uptime - that makes it much easier to keep a good ratio with a NAS, if you’re just permanently seeding everything you download, you’ll get points and “rise the ranks” of that tracker.
Once you’re a high enough rank on that tracker, you’ll get access to their “Invite Forums” where other private trackers advertise and give out invites to their trackers

If the tags are just kinda “plain old hashtags” - and not something cool like I mentioned in the previous post 😉 -
Possibly you could have a look at how Gazelle handles tags, where it’s just a voting system. For example, this is “Kanye West” https://i.imgur.com/adTe4t8.png - then tags are no longer a boolean yes/no system, but a user-voted system. And then it’s no longer a moderation concern to have to correct tags, and you don’t need “User privileges” to manage the tags either.
It’s just a pretty chaotic system though - you might still want moderators to remove bad tags and/or ban users from creating tags if they’re always adding nonsense.
Could be some point based system like Stackoverflow - users with n points can vote on existing tags, users with n+ points can add their own new tags
