#tagspam is a huge problem for all of the tribes on HIVE and not just #STEM.

People get coins for many of the tags. The smart players on the platform simply list the most lucrative tags on all posts regardless of content.

I would love to see an effort to reduce tag spam. For an effort to succeed it needs to be coordinated and the people engaged in the defense of a tag must communicate their intention before starting DV rewards.

BTW: do you have a complete list of the tags used for Stem. I thought they were STEM, StemSocial, Science, Technology, Math and Engineering. Do they ever change?

This page has some STEM configuration info.

The science and technology tags are a little problematic as people often used "technology" on product reviews. People often use "science" in political and philosophical musings. Posts about pseudoscience have a legitimate claim for using the generic term "science."

Good luck in your job as a STEM curator.
