+## Force Tainting
+
+Force Tainting provides a mechanism for Escalator to promptly remove nodes tainted by an external system, or administrator.
+
+This is implemented by applying a taint to the node, with the following key:
+
+```

+```
+
+The node will be removed as soon as all non-daemonset pods are completed. This is useful when nodes must be removed asap, but running pods should not be killed.
