Dan you are sure good at confusing the hell out of me, no offence intended. One day bots are evil, one day bots are good. I spent weeks making an author list to support and update on constant basis, then came the evil bots posts and I turned it off, then bots are ok, back on, then off, now "on" I guess ?
Also the initial auto vote for self, that turned into an option, and now people think if you vote for yourself it's a bad thing. I know the game is changing but can we have a constant set of rules that do not get us flagged at least. Another issue is the tags, I tried to help on the tag spam yesterday, the 5 tag limit is a mess, instead of having 5 tags that fall into 5 major categories, why not create sub categories, like this post would fall into steem as parent category and steem/curation steem/voting as sub categories that way we prevent spam into other main categories, so first tag would specify the main category and the rest of the tags will be sub category, that will create more depth and and clean up cross category spam. It will also make spam detection much easier.
