What about we actually inform users about the original purpose of the tag?

How can we create sustained growth if we go punishing people who is acting out of misinformation, misunderstanding or plain old ignorance?

How can we expect to have adoption if our answer to mistakes is a hammer?

I mean there is abuse or misuse of TAGs yes... But i'm ready to bet that 5% are actual assholes and the other 95% is just people unknowingly following bad advice...

I saw today a user commenting on my post the same exact phrase as Cheetah warning, Guess what?
on his first post he got a warning from her (and since your first 10 minutes in steemit you don't know who cheetah is), he thought it was a good accepted practice to advertise his blog that way...

He apologized and probably wont do it it again...

If we aim to make the platform grow we need to teach and train the user base.

People coming from twitter and facebook have a hard learning curve... Some never learn.. the repeat offenders i agree lets hit them hard, but everyone deserves a first chance to correct and learn from its mistakes.

If i might propose for the Spanish community i will set a bot that tells me when a user posts on both steemit and Spanish tags and check and explain, hell i can make it comment automatically to let them know...

If you want i'll bring you here the list of repeated offenders so you can use your flag hammer... but let people try steemit before making them go away...
