I made a bot to be able to police introduceyourself ... Have a laugh with me at the first result.

in #steemdev7 years ago (edited)

Earlier today I tried to raise a discussion about # introduceyourself.
Guess what: I got a discussion alright ...

I went on to write a little script, which monitors posts under the tag.

First result:

150 times !

Who will set the new highscore and how high will it be ?

EDIT: I made a mistake in my script ... Investigating now.

EDIT²: My script was counting all versions of the post ( including edits ) - So its first results were terribly inaccurate. ( It's fixed now )

(EDIT²)²: I still have issues with it ... Will fix it tomorrow :(

Sort:  

Heehee. A really bad case of multiple personalities.

In a post last month I was thinking about a new tag, #shareyourself, or something like that, as a place for to share more autobiography. This is not to take away from your hilarious bot, and 150 times should become a steemit in-joke, part of the lore and legend which we can all laugh about in years to come.

My bot was counting all versions of the post ( including all edits ) - so it wasn't accurate ...
I fixed it now and I doubt we will see 150 again :D

genius!! :D

good job, thanks! Some people don't get it :-D

Good job! Your comment is a warning to those who like to upvote this tag.

Maybe you should just change the message:

Hi !
This is an automatic message.
You have now edited your article 150 times.
How OCD are you?

I'm fine, thanks.

I have fixed the bot and it now works ok.

That was meant to be a joke! 😅

OH !

I didn't get it ...
I have had too much trouble with this bot today :D

In fact he probably used the tag 15 times and did 10 edits each :D

Yup, OCD, obsessive compulsive! :P

But then again maybe that's better than the post being riddled with spelling errors!

how many do we have to post before he yells at us? haha

I tried making the bot's comment as friendly as possible.

I now use a different method and you were the test-subject :P

You made 8 posts under the tag and I think that's really pushing it.

When I introduce a new friend to STEEM I usually make an introductory post to my followers to try and help give the new minnow a bump upstream.. I found that tag to return great feedback so I started using it . I suppose I will have to search for a new introductory tag? ......... Do I hold the record? ...

Nah, the record is 217 ( and this time it's accurate ) ...
Check my latest post for that :D

What about #introducesomebodyelse ?

HAHA wow I will have a lot of introducing to do if I want to break that one...

As for #introducesomebodyelse .....

Be a trendsetter then ;)

150 times, OMG!!! Ok, now I understand why you are angry :D It would be good, if everybody has fast access to the rules for the special tags. Hope they will integrate this one day.

Well in my next post I found someone, who used the tag 250+ times ( this time for real ) :D

OMG! Is there a hashtag existing for these kind of posts instead, e.g. for a thank you post to followers or reaching milestones? So, people dont have to spam the tag #introduceyourself.

I don't know of a tag, but perhaps we could establish one.

That would be great. I already have 94 followers and I want to write a thank you post when I have 100 followers. I also want to write my new projects in it which I will post over the next time. If you want we can chat on the deutsch channel. I have the same user name there.

I wonder if the funny that was in the post originally or added after EDITs. :-)

Nice script. I can only imagine the thousands of messages those welcome bots have to send to the same person each time that tag is used. Don't want to overwork those guys!
