Are you blogging about making money? Then cool. If it’s just random stuff, I just won’t upvote it, but it’s not like I can stop anyone from using the tag. Most tags become general post dumps anyway because people don’t care about the actual use of it, they just want tokens. People post garbage to Hivelist tag all the time that have absolutely no relevance. I just don’t upvote it, or I will even downvote and mute if I notice it’s just spam.

Makes sense! I reduced using hustler tag based on a similar understanding. We are on the same page. I will try to refer back people to this comment if I notice hive friends using it.

Every other community token that has tags has the same problem.

The moment you have staked the power of a token (on HIVE-Engine) you either separate it on a different account or massive voting can happen where you don't expect/want. Lots of LEO users do it... for example. I haven't yet bothered... but if hustler token would have delegation feature, I would for sure separate the way of voting.

Some people don't even realize they have power... and can be "voting" without even realizing it.

For example, every time I vote with my master account... you will see a massive HUSTLER vote... but because sometimes I am just voting via HIVE, I don't always understand.

@forkyishere ctp token also has this problem. They define them as selling products or finance type. But if we look at ctpswan/booster (whatever their account is) account description it says self improvement and many more topics. This literally confuses a lot of people using it as a general tag. To be honest now I just ignore ctp tag misuse cause I am also partially confused WHAT is WHAT in too depth level.

Tags rewarding is the responsibility of a community... so, not just the creators. But mostly them if they don't allow for the judgement to be applied by the community and then rectification. At least that's my view...

So, for me, it should be something "adaptable" over time but that one should interpret as an "experiment" if that does not work out in the beginning.

Damn... forky sounds too deep at this moment... should have chosen the wrong account. 🤦‍♂️ @forykw

it's ok @forkyishere @forykw hahaha. I am also thinking deep most of times. :)

That’s fine, it’s not something I really police or anything anymore. Just became a game of whack a mole and a waste of my time.

Even if people have fear of watchers (a sleeping dog can bite any time) that's enough to reduce abuse to some level.
