RE: in being attacked

Follow more people - lots more people
Comment on others post - The better the comment the more followers and rewards you will gain from commenting.
Use tags effectively, but correctly - This helps for more people to see your posts while not getting flagged.
Write an introductory post and tag it (introduceyourself, introducemyself) telling who you are, your interests, what brought you here. Make sure to include a picture of yourself with a verification that it is really you. Twitter, Facebook, and a selfie with a piece of paper and your username.
