Before you Upvote and comment #introduceyourself ...

Do you always read the post before doing Upvote and leave a comment? It is worth taking a moment and reviewing the user profile, because I noticed several cases of spam and multiple copy/paste in the #introduceyourself.

Examples:

Some people are a little more "clever".

Welcome post:

How did it look before editing?

Why it was changed? To write another #introduceyourself post?

https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@kkarolina/hello-steemit

It is probably an account of the same person as:

https://steemit.com/@samolot1337

It works like this: #intruduceyourself post then several resteems to hide that spamming and again the same #introduceyourself post.

Blue posts, green resteems. On one day he can do this several times.

To hide it, he began to edit posts.

Let's check how this post looked like before:

The same post as 12 days ago:

https://steemit.com/@kkarolina works similarly:

You can even get some STEEM POWER:

Before Upvote and comment, take a look at the profile (it takes a few seconds) and check if you do not see anything suspicious. Do not reward spammers. You can resteem this post to let as many people know about it and pay attention to it.

Good post...but is this supposed to be under introduce yourself?

I added #introduceyourself because it concerns abuse in this tag. If you think I should delete it, I will do it.

no no... i guess it has a poetic justice irony to having it as a tag. I can appreciate that

You do have a good point, but it is pointing out issues with the #introduceyourself tag and the author did spend a ton of time crafting this post. Im certainly happy to see it :)

You obviously didn't read the post.

Since I Recuite a lot from the tag I have become accustomed to checking it’s really disappointing to see people abusing the tag and as they quickly learn people pick up on their copy pasta and don’t upvote it. However I did have a question, how were you able to see their edits?

I made this mistake when I first joined Steemit. One of those in your post actually got me for a bit. Now I try to always look at the profile first.

Welcome. It is my first time here and I am just learning how to do this. Any advice would be appreciated. Anyways I am 37 Years old and I work a regular part time job and try my best to find other ways to make money from home also. I hope to one day just work from home so I can spend more time with my husband and son. One thing I am getting into is Photography and selling the pictures from an app on my phone. I want to eventually get a really good camera so I can take even better pictures.

Welcome to Steemit. I think you will like it. There are plenty of people who love talking about cryptocurrencies, but lots of other interests too. Have fun

thanks ^^
