0.000 HBDPolicing #introduceyourself ... Review after 2 weeks
This experiment has been running for almost 2 weeks now and I think it's time to analyze the outcome. If you don't know, what I'm referring to ... : https://steemit.com/goodbot/@goodbot/goodbot-s-first-job @goodbot left more than 700 comments in that time. The reason, why I thought policing that tag would be a good thing to do, was mainly to keep it free for the actual newbies, who are encouraged by the [welcome page](https://steemit.com/welcome) to make a post there. There isn't a real rule about this and my bot doesn't try to enforce any rules, but tries to give a friendly hint.

What bugs me about this is how people who practice tag discipline will lose out compared to tag abusers. I just hope people will go back to manual curation. With 10 votes/day it shouldn't really be too hard to do some actual reading instead of showering an entire category with (easily abused) votes. If that was to happen more, @goodbot's comments might actually have more of an effect.
