Hello @dirtyhippie!
I noticed you have posted many times since you began your journey on Steemit. That is great! We love active partipants.
I do want to point out that the Introduceyourself tag is meant to be used once only to introduce yourself to the Steemit community. You have now posted 8 times using the introduceyourself tag. Please see this link for more information Tag Spam?
Please take this into consideration and help build a great platform!
Sorry Mr. Bot I thought it was justified because I was introducing myself to the steepshot community. Not sure if a human will read this reply but for what it's worth I tried to edit the tag out... Can't do it on either platform because it was the first tag I chose. Won't happen again though,my bad lol.
The first tag cannot be changed, but if you can change it for future posts, that would be great.
Much success!
And which steemit god decided you can only introduce yourself once and in one way?
Please see the Steemit welcome document.
Where in the document does it say that.
not in the introduce yourself section.
I had to go and check myself... I thought it did, but now I remember that it was other articles I read that suggested I only use it once. I used the tag twice. Then some tag abuse bot mentioned me and I stopped.
It seems that people decided a long time ago to give the introduceyourself tag to just fresh accounts so they can get exposure. Of course, there are much worse offenders and there are silly rich developers that will create a new account about some new app they made and use the introduceyourself tag and upvote it to trending.
I never see the really big accounts get messed with by the bots at all. With so many new user's it is a good idea not to use it though.
While I don't fully disagree with your incentive here especially since you only informed and didn't flag, what you're saying here is silly. Have you even read the Welcome document yourself? It doesn't say that you can only use it once, it only says that it's tradition for new users to create an #introduceyourself post.
It is suggested that you only use the introduceyourself post once and in one way. The steepshot community is not actively searching for new steepshot members through the #introduceyourself tag.
While no Steemit Gods decided that you can only introduce yourself in one way, the tag is designed to only be used once per user so that the steemit community has a place to welcome legitimate new users.
By over using this tag, new legit users to the steemit platform get their introduction posts buried much faster and it makes it hard for curators to welcome new users.
There is one user gogogadgetupvotes that only upvotes new legit users that are using the introduceyourself tag for the first time.
Do you fully and whole heartedly believe that everyone should be introducing themselves whenever they want, and as many times as they want? If you do, then there's a problem with your logical reasoning in that there are new people signing up every day and it was decided long ago by the community as a whole that the freshly made minnows have at least one tag to help get exposure. It seems pretty fair to give the newbies one tag. One.
I mean, unless you are that boring that you have to introduce yourself 100 times using the tag. I just re-introduced myself and I didn't use the tag. still got upvotes.
