Modifying core functions with functions.php

   I would like to modify the bb_list_tags to show who the author of that tag was (to moderators)

   So I created a functions.php in my theme and have copied function bb_list_tags from functions.bb-templates.php file. And done the following (note the changes to the function have not yet been made)
   

   <?php
   // to override bb_list_tags to show tag author
   
   remove_filter('bb_list_tags', 'bb_list_tag');
   
   function bb_list_tag( $args = null ) {
   	$defaults = array(
   		'tags' => false,
   		'format' => 'list',
   		'topic' => 0,
   		'list_id' => 'tags-list'
   	);
   
   	$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
   	extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );
   
   	if ( !$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $topic ) ) )
   		return false;
   
   	if ( !is_array($tags) )
   		$tags = bb_get_topic_tags( $topic->topic_id );
   
   	if ( !$tags )
   		return false;
   
   	$list_id = attribute_escape( $list_id );
   
   	$r = '';
   	switch ( strtolower($format) ) :
   	case 'table' :
   		break;
   	case 'list' :
   	default :
   		$args['format'] = 'list';
   		$r .= "<ul id='$list_id' class='tags-list list:tag'>\n";
   		foreach ( $tags as $tag )
   			$r .= _bb_list_tag_item( $tag, $args );
   		$r .= "</ul>";
   	endswitch;
   	echo $r;
   }
   
   add_filter('bb_list_tags', 'bb_list_tag');
   
   ?>

   Is this the correct way to change a core function? Changing anything within it doesn't appear to override the original function.
