Hello! There seems to be some confusion on what exactly #doyourpart is all about. I can't speak for everyone, but I'll try to explain how I see it.
Our mission is to flag spam posts, but what does this mean exactly? If you see a post and don't like it, you are obviously free to flag it. I can't stop you; it's all about freedom around here in this decentralized blockchain land.
But that's not what #doyourpart is about. It is not about flagging posts that you don't like.
There are four main categories of posts that we want to flag:
There are two types of this: Tag spam and Incorrect Tags.
Tag spam is easy. It's when the poster includes dozens of tags, many of which have nothing to do with the post, trying to game the system and gain attention for themselves. An incorrect tag would be posting a sexy girl picture in "bitcoin" or posting an article about bitcoin in "introduceyourself". You are placing the wrong material in the wrong place.
This is posting material from some other source and claiming it as your own. You should always give credit and site your source and preferably link to the original material. I don't usually flag for this myself, so I'll let others talk about this more.
This is reposting the same material over and over again. If I see the same thing posted three or more times in the same day, I'll definitely flag it. If I see the same thing posted two weeks later, I'd probably be fine with that, but I'll admit it's a judgement call.
In some sense, we are all begging a little bit. I'd be tickled pink if this post got voted up to the high heavens, but I'm trying to provide some value in return. Blatant begging is just when you post some very silly, no effort post saying something like "Whales please vote me up! This post is worthless, but vote me up to prove that a worthless post can make thousands!" I don't know, this might be the most subjective one, but I'll down vote these on sight.
Anyway, that's my interpretation of #doyourpart , and my thinking when I go on flagging patrol.
