Using the wrong TAG.

Tag abuse, wrong tagging, is a real growing problem on the platform!

Popular tags are often abused to get more eyes on the posts and this not the way to go! To try and change things around @ma1neevent and me have started to send out replies to those accounts who keep posting irrelevant content to the wrong tags!

Right now we are focusing on the introduce-yourself tag but we are sure there are many more popular tags being used in the wrong way.

We believe in trying to talk first before using power and scare new members/ older members away from the platform. New members have a hard time in finding their way and with a friendly reminder, we hope to open their eyes and guide them in the right way here on Steemit! Hopefully, a soft hand can start something good for the whole platform.

In a time span of 1 hour, I already found 7 different accounts using the introduce-yourself tag for irrelevant content. I checked their account to have a look at previous posts to make sure they are really using the tag in most of their posts.

After the check, I have send them all a personal reply without upvoting or flagging.

We would really like your feedback on this and replies will be highly appreciated by both me and @ma1neevent.
