@goodbot's first job
For now, this bot comments on all posts, which are categorized as an # introduceyourself, but the author has used the tag more than once before. It also comments each author only once ( I will maybe change that soon ).
It doesn't flag or threaten anybody.
There isn't a rule on how many times one can use that hashtag.
It's recommended to be used by new accounts:
- Create your "introduceyourself" post
Please note, how it says post, not posts.
It also doesn't say that you should use it to introduce somebody else.
This obviously isn't a hard rule, but I thought I set this bot up, to remind users, how most of Steemit sees this tag.
A lot of users go to
https://steemit.com/created/introduceyourself
regularly, to welcome new members.
Obviously, these posts get a lot of exposure.
In my opinion it is an attempt to exploit the tag, if one uses it frequently.
Since none of this is a fixed rule, I don't even attempt to enforce it aggressively.
The bot is now up for 3 days and made 190 comments.
I didn't expect that many, when I thought this up.
Some users find it helpful, some users hate it.
That was to be expected.
I now have an idea how anyx must feel.
Thx for building that very helpful bot.
Probably most of those reacting angry are those abusing the tag...
Be proud of everybody who is angry with the bot!
This bot has it's uses. Flagging down tag abusers is fine. But maybe raise the limit from 2 up to 6 or 8. I posted my story in a weekly series, and it has been very helpful for gaining a following. Having a bot show up was just annoying, considering what I was sharing is easily considered new content by a new Steemian.
That being said, my negative reaction to it was over the top, and I am thankful to @goodbot, and its creator, for having such a mild response to my shennanigans. Steem on! :-) Resteem. And, my apologies, I did not mean to hurt Mr. Goodbots virtual feelings.
Great idea!
I have an improvement to suggest. Perhaps a comment only when someone uses that tag more than once a day. And an automated means for that person to apply for @felixxx to read the actual post and tell the bot to no longer make those comments on this person's profile (if, for example, someone is writing a relevant series that SHOULD use the introduceyourself tag)
inb4 anti spam bot flagging your bots spammy comments.
No anti-spam bots yet ...
I just found out, how the steemcleaners see this issue:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemcleaners/re-soufianesgh-where-this-place-is-located-the-number-2-20170701t220021640z
From my own point of view "a man without principle never draws much interest" I think flagging should be included it will serve as a caution for those abusing the bot. Good work so far @goodbot
Whats the point of that? How making a comment would change anything, they obviously know that they already introduced themselves.
Well ... most of them claim to not know this / reply that their post fits the category ...

Some get really angry about how nobody can tell them how to use a certain tag ...
If someone was to flag those repeated tag-abusers, they could check goodbot's comments and flag the posts it commented on ...
If you have a better suggestion, please let me know !
So it is something like the cheetah bot and its pressense makes people flag/not upvote?
It's just a friendly reminder.
If people wanted to use it as an indicator for flag-worthy material ... they could ...
Thank you for being helpful and informative. As I see you have 2 accounts can I ask, if you pay your steem account creation fee yourself. are you allowed to log in 2 accounts from the same ip on steemit?
I created a few accounts last year, when it was still possible with reddit / facebook verification.
(I'm not really proud of it, but hey ...)
You can login into different accounts from the same IP.
All the big accounts have it ( even @dan has @dantheman ), so I thought I'd do the same ...
Please do not pretend that you have the same authority and/or privileges as one of the creators of SteemIt has. His reasons for multiple accounts are definitely NOT similar to your own reasons. Trying to convince everyone that you did it for legitimate purposes is offensive to everyone's intelligence.
What is your problem ?
I can make as many accounts as I wish - The only thing I'm a bit ashamed of is having used the sign-up process for it.
goodbot is a good idea.
It should also flag/downvote each case of abuse, and upvote each one of its own comments to help maintain its own positive reputation and steem power.
People whom use introduceyourself obviously abuse it.
I refused to use it once, I got straight to posting original stuff.
