Commenting and curating - adding a tag?
I have been here for a few months now, and endeavoured to add value and original content across a range of topics, toyed with reposting content (fail!!) and after a few weeks here, tried to be judicious with my votes. All in all, a good experience!
A while ago, I posted on Corporate Whales, which asked the question if there was potential for corporate to take some power, and a position, in steemit:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@adamt/corporate-whales
This resulted in some great feedback which gave me a new perspective on steemit. And i have since noted some posts which could be seen as attempting to turn steemit into a 'craigslist' style site. I thought, "I would like to let others know about the offer/service/product". But how? A reply gets buried .......
So, my next evolution of thinking for how we work here, to build the community, is the thought of being able to add a tag to a post we comment on, to bring it to attention to other users; this could be to bring more attention or bring it into a more appropriate category.
Thoughts?
Adding a tag when commenting is an interesting idea, however when you think about it.. if 100 people comment and add a different tag each? Or if people start abusing such a feature using bots to promote their posts. Maybe if allowing 5 tags for the poster and then 5 more from commenters for example... If there is also a minimum reputation limit or something else in order for a user to add an extra tag this might actually work, essentially limiting new account registrations that have not done much and preventing bots from taking advantage of such a feature.
I like the constraints aspect - adding 5 tags, reputation limit, perhaps only within the first 15 mins? Thanks @cryptos for your thoughts!
A time limit may also be helpful... maybe 30 minutes.
Should not be too short in order for people to have the time to see the post and read it first :)
So, who to you go to when you have suggestions? @ned @dantheman?
