I am just a newcomer myself as far as steem goes, but not a newbie as far as social etiquette, as I have interacted with other human beings for the last 40 odd years. I was looking at one of your photo posts from Italy and after reading the post, started reading the comments and I noticed this annoying repeating reply saying "Your comment is considered SPAM... Take a look in this guide:" and so on, even after someone just had a quick comment like "Great photo", or something in that style. And then I realized that it was the author of the main post itself, you, that was making this SPAM. So, I actually clicked on the link to see what's all the hoopla was about. Well, here I am, after reading all your "advice" and all the "insightful" patronizing comments from others and I still consider your "Your comment is considered SPAM... Take a look in this guide:" more annoying then just a simple " Great photo" or "nice picture". My point is, that, yes, I understand, spam is bad, real spam, but saying that any comment that is not a full essay with praises and kudos, is a spam, is, let's say, little bit overboard. But I guess, there is a crowd for everyone, I just know that I don't want to be part of yours, and I hope there is more relaxed people out there, that can take a simple complement and not make a big deal out of it. After all, not all of us have time or vocabulary, or even the language itself to make "meaningful" comments, but most of us want to have a little voice, and remember, everyone expresses themselves in different ways, not always according to your standards.
Well, I can say, that I spent WAY too much time on this post, but what the hell, may as well begin with a bang :)
BTW, nice pictures.
