Damp sponge!

I don't think name calling is helpful.

After tanking the wetroom. I have weatherproof boards on the floor. I am concerned I could damage the floor boards while tiling the walls. Is it best to tile the floor first to prevent damage?

Can do, especially if the floor joints run up on the walls, or cover the floor

I assume you mean you have prepared the floor (over-boarded?) and then tanked it and you are concerned about damaging the floor tanking. In most cases I would tile the floor first and then protect it with hardboard sheets tapped together and cut a few cm away from the walls so that I can see the floor joints and there is room to fit a spacer as I work up the walls away from the floor. The alternative is to protect the tanked floor with eg hardboard and then tile the walls leaving off the bottom course; which is then fitted after the floor has been done (because I think always best if floor tiles go under wall tiles).

If it's just tanking paint just give it another coat before you tile the floor maybe?

If you doing a wet room always tile floor first and walls second it's standard wet room procedure creates best waterproof seal in internal angles.
