  • TRY NOT TO POST AND RUN

We are altogether in a rush however it just look so terrible if all you ever do is post and never curate other people's work. In a way this could be viewed as basically taking from the community without giving.

  • DON'T OVER-POST

A lot of people don't have much time. Have some compassion for your followers and don't post more than 5 times per day. Not only will people avoid reading your post but you'll end up annoying your followers and losing some of them. Your payouts will also be reduced if your posts exceed 4 or 5 per day.

  • DON'T POST NUDES OR PORN UNLESS YOU TAG IT WITH NSFW

This is very important. It might be accepted in your country show your nudes but not here where there are readers.

The reader could be a kid. Nudes without this tag will be flagged.

  • DON'T STEAL OR PLAGIARISE

This is also very important. It identifies people endeavoring to make profit by stealing others works or making false claims as their own. There is an entire group of bots watching you here and you will caught if you do it.

  • DON'T ENGAGE IN TAG SPAMMING

If your post does not relate with a specific tags you shouldn't use it. A post about cars that occur to have a photograph of a car in it should not be tagged with "photography". Tag spamming disturbs people and instead of getting you additional upvotes it is probably going to get you a flag.

  • DON'T RE-STEEM EVERYTHING YOU SEE

This one is related to overposting. The re-steem, is extraordinary. It's new and different method to share yet please be conscious of your followers. You like a subject doesn't mean that they do. Only resteem limited number of posts that you are certain your followers will like.

  • DON'T POST UNRELATED LINKS IN COMMENTS

This is considered link spamming. We you tried in your post but using link that isn't related with your post and seems to be there purely to promote your own work then it looks bad. You are in danger of getting flagged. There is a great chat channel on discord for promoting your links as well as a forum section, put it there.

  • DON'T BRIBE PEOPLE FOR VOTES, RE-STEEMS, FOLLOWS OR ASK DIRECTLY FOR MONEY

This is genuinely straightforward. It is probably going to get you flagged and in addition possibly irritating others. Also once individuals have followed you there is no assurance they will continue doing it. So you will simply be wasting your cash and crushing your reputation. I have also heard of people asking directly for cash - this might be alright on account of charitable case but not okay when the reason is your own personal wallet.

  • DON'T USE THE WALLET TO GET ATTENTION

The Steem wallet allows people to send messages. Unfortunately people have recently been using it to send out very small amounts of Steem as a means of advertising themselves or their posts through the memo. Don't do it you will waste your money and annoy a lot of people.

  • DON'T FLAG CONTENT JUST BECAUSE YOU DISAGREE OR DON'T LIKE IT

This has involved much debate in the community and there are still contradictions about it. Presently the reasons behind flagging are abusive contents, plagariasm, envy of rewards and revenge.

  • DO PROVIDE VERIFICATION

Unfortunately as often happens in life dishonest people have made it harder to trust those who are posting on Steemit. You don't have to verify but it may help people trust you more and get you more up-votes.

So when writing your introduction post, endeavor to provide a verification video or image.

  • DO ALWAYS READ THE RULES FOR THE CHAT CHANNEL YOU ARE POSTING IN

Read the rules of the channel before you post. I know mistakes are bound to happen, when they do, apologise and delete your post. If you frequently break the rules you will likely end up permanently muted and removed from the channel.
