Thank you @stellabelle for the initiative. My suggestion, someone needs to put a check on the Introduce yourself tag to begin with. There are users or bots who will just spam on new joinees introduction posts with the soul purpose of gaining followers. "Welcome, enjoy your time here, I will follow you, you also follow me" you can see multiple posts like these by two users I have noticed ( @khunfarang & @khunpoom ), there are others too but these are legendary when it comes to spamming. I did mention these users on thecryptofiend post as well. If you want to experience this yourself, write a post, maybe with the war on spam gif and tag it as "introduceyourself" they will pop write up !! I'm a newbie but all in for this fight, would need support from veterans like you. Cheers.

A perfect example, posted 25 mins ago although the user selected the wrong tag but these spammers:
