RE: A day on the New section - Introduceyourself
Oh, this is why I am currently asking the people who are a bit older to the platform to focus on the introduceyourself tag. Most of the times their flags and upvotes are pretty important (much more important than mine) and they may be able to guide the newbies and remove spam pretty efficient. It is true that this involves hard work. I have spent plenty of hours there in order to clean things up a bit and I am sure that this is not enough. And in what involves spammers that are writing to your post without even reading it, you can see that here at my post was a guy (@alirajput44 (25)) who commented and welcomed me to the platform as this would have been my introduction. Which is not :)) you can see that after I replyed to him, he deleted his comment. Usually with this kind of guys who spam I firstly check their other comments, in order to see if they spam everybody and how much they are abusing. After that I just warn them. If they don't stop there, I flag a few spam posts. If that doesn't stop then, I get a little angry (which is not happening too often at all) and ask the help of a person with much more SP than I have. It was only one case when I needed to do so, and the guy who helped me remove spam was @swissclive. He is totally dedicated to the good of this platform and his flags erased the visibility of the spam guy (unfortunately for the spammer's account)... Thank you for sharing your experience, I would recommend you to focus on growing your account before helping the newcomers to the platform. This way you will be able to give them a little more help :)
Thanks for responding. Thank you for the advice and the knowledge. i am trying to grow my account and my reputation but know it takes time a dedication, lucky I have one, the other I will find around other commitments, its lucky its Christmas holidays so I can focus a little more than I normally would. I'm working from home today but about to sign off and read Steemit instead.
