For now, this bot comments on all posts, which are categorized as an # introduceyourself, but the author has used the tag more than once before. It also comments each author only once ( I will maybe change that soon ).
It doesn't flag or threaten anybody.
There isn't a rule on how many times one can use that hashtag.
It's recommended to be used by new accounts:
- Create your "introduceyourself" post
Please note, how it says post, not posts.
It also doesn't say that you should use it to introduce somebody else.
This obviously isn't a hard rule, but I thought I set this bot up, to remind users, how most of Steemit sees this tag.
A lot of users go to
https://steemit.com/created/introduceyourself
regularly, to welcome new members.
Obviously, these posts get a lot of exposure.
In my opinion it is an attempt to exploit the tag, if one uses it frequently.
Since none of this is a fixed rule, I don't even attempt to enforce it aggressively.
The bot is now up for 3 days and made 190 comments.
I didn't expect that many, when I thought this up.
Some users find it helpful, some users hate it.
That was to be expected.
I now have an idea how anyx must feel.
