I think @swissclive is on to something here. Sure, he could go to Steemit Chat, but, I, as a relatively new member have no clue how to even find Steemit chat.

I also know that many do this, I've seen it in hundreds of posts. Many don't read tutorials, faqs and etiquette type posts. They don't realize that asking for upvotes and follows is against etiquette.

I think that @swissclive was very diplomatic in his post and not only did he let this specific offender know he let many others know in the process.
