RE: Can we please enforce flags for tag-abuse ?

in #tag-abuse8 years ago (edited)

I understand where you coming from unless it's blatantly obvious the tag doesn't fit the material.. leave it alone

Using the #introduceyourself tag should be continued to be used as long as you have something about yourself to reveal. Lots of us come on to steemit thinking one thing.. learn something else and are left with something completely different.. every now and then we feel like we have to use the #introduceyourself tag to open up for the newer and potential fans and followers.

Unless you're posting something like for example... some religious or spiritual enlightenment type of content .. but you use hashtag, #bukaki .. then you have a point.

So yea, don't get all flag happy for something nor so big a deal

Sort:  

Let me guess: You have used the tag repeatedly :D ?

I have used it several times.. most of which came after hardforks.. one time after I'd been away for a while... or even to promote my other friends I've brought onto steemit.

If I wanted to.. I COULD HAVE used it on these active trending post (not trying to spam but these post could have used the #introduceyourself hashtag)
Revolution Of The Industry - Part 1
Revolution Of The Industry - Part 2

I still think it's established as a tag for absolute newcomers.

This way you can easily find their intro-posts and have a look at the new users.

it is an established tag for introducing yourself... which is why majority of newcomers should use the tag.. as far as being "absolute" then we should go down every hashtag and consider every piece of content for being absolutely for any tag.

Like I said.. I understand the frustration but there are various reasons to use the introduceyourself hashtag, aside from account verification.

now that I think about it... why not make #verification for absolute newcomers?

as far as being "absolute" then we should go down every hashtag and consider every piece of content for being absolutely for any tag.

That could prove to be difficult.
In the case of #introduceyourself though, it would be pretty easy.

very true.. maybe offer an option to newcomers to create a "one time" introduction post that will either have it's own feed

OR

include a symbol of some sort.. like the symbol shows for choosing 100% steem power, when you make a post.

that way.. in the #introduceyourself hashtag... you can easily identify the newcomers from everyone else

Or: just show some commonsense and some manners and don't tag-abuse :P
