RE: My IntroduceYourself Welcome Bot
Will I release the source code?
NO. The reason being that it could be used to do massive spamming. The real purpose of the bot was to get to know better the Steem API.
I encourage you to release the source code. There is already the deterrent for massive spamming - flags. Spammers get flags, but someone else can learn from your code.
Flowers grow best in the sunlight 🙂
I may release it, but once I've worked though it as It is kinda messy at this moment XD
The point is, if the way I'm doing this bot can be considered spam or not
I guess it is spam to be honest, by definition. If users are enjoying it and you don't attract flags then I'd say that's a tacit blessing from the community.
You might try to add something useful to your message for new people or something.
But on the source, well most source is messy. You very rarely "arrive" at the mystical land of "clean code" and in my opinion it's best to involve other eyeballs along the way. But your call 😁
I vote for release. Your code publishing unlikely make a harm to steemit :) Bot comments will be flagged in case of spam.

Is this bot still working or does it cost to much resource credits now after the hardfork? I want a bot like this.
