That possible duplicate is the canonical question about summing sickness; it gives the meaning of summoning sickness and you can pretty clearly see it *doesn't* include tapping the creature.

I'm voting to leave this one open; I think it's alright to have a related question clarifying that Summoning Sickness *doesn't* do a particular thing.

@doppelgreener Fair enough, though the reason we ended up with that question is that people think summoning sickness does a million different things, and those questions were all getting answered with "no, it just does X, here's the rule, that's it, it doesn't do what you're talking about".
