You probably did gain some votes, but you also lost a lot of votes. We already read your proposal the day it was created. We are very involved in all things Hive. We also understand that the overall perception of mass tagging is frowned upon and deemed spam. So, we uphold that value.
We are stating that this specific activity has pushed us to not back your proposal, and argue many others tagged that also read your proposal feel the same.
Ok, no problem, we all have our own views. I personally think that a single notification in a sea of notifications is an extremely petty reason to not support such a project - but so be it.
Never said that was the only reason. More the straw that broke the camel's back.
