Hello @personz as one person who really might have feel negatively affected by my welcome message yesterday I'm truly glad to have your opinion listened in here.

I've been sending welcome messages and helping new users which request me information for more than a month, and since the beginning the feedback I was getting was overwhelming positive, that's the reason that's motivate to keep doing it since, as I have replied at thatgermandude post, I have no bot for this which literally takes hours of my days to do it.
I have always use to at least read and give at least a little upvote at this users posts, as you can check by scrolling down my comments and check.

But due to the effort it takes to manually read and send this welcome messages, I was doing it more and more rarely. yesterday it was about 4 or 5 days I hadn't stop to look into the introduceyourself tab looking for new users to send my welcome comment. however the when the randowhale has changed the rules lowering it to 0.5 SBD to the random vote I find myself motivated again to making or, this time if you rather say, spamming an welcome post seeing that i could keep doing what I have always been doing but this time using the new randowhale change in order to try to get a direct profft for this effort.

The Idea was remaining the same answer and help new Steemians showing some posts I have made and some that wasn't mine, as I think you might have noticed if you read my welcoming post.

But indeed this time beyond this 1st the providing helping objective I was also worried about using the randowhale as I told you before, this sounds very odd to me that I have send you an welcoming message due to the fact that one of the criteria to look for new users posts is look at their reputation, I would never send a welcome post to someone who have a reputation so high as yours, that is the kind of mistake a brainless bot should make. but If you say I have send you I must assume that I might have make a basic mistake on sending a welcome to your post. Which will surely be interpreted as useless spam. If was that the case I'm really sorry for have exposed you to it.

So yeah even due to the negative feedback on the way I have been welcoming posts yesterday using the randowhale I have already decide not doing it again, but about continue sending a welcome comment to new users on the ways I've been doing before, which I do not have complains about is the reason proposed this survey.

Once again Thank you for your negative feedback It was already taken into account in order to reinforce my decision to do not use randowhale as a incentive to make more welcome comments. And if in fact I did send a welcoming comment to you I'm truly sorry and you are absolutely right refer to that as a useless spam.
