You may have noticed my little welcome bot leaving comments on posts with the introduction, introduceyourself and introducemyself tags last night and this morning. The goal is to warmly welcome the innumerable new users flocking to steemit every day and provide them with some good articles and advice to get them started.
This is what one of my bot's comments looks like:
What I am looking for is some other useful links and tips to add to the current message. It can't be too long, but there's definitely room for some more information. I hope to make the bot as helpful as possible to new users!
Eventually, I will move the bot over to its own dedicated account. For right now, I am just testing it.
In the future, I hope to also add another function to the bot, tracking down people who are posting many times on the introduction, introduceyourself and introducemyself tag and warning them that tag abuse is not a good thing to do and that it will result in flagging (NOTE: not to be a hypocrite, but I have tagged this post with introduceyourself because I feel that it is relevant and new users who are wondering about my bot's comment will be able to read more about it!).
I've really enjoyed writing this welcome bot and watching it welcome new users so far, and I hope that it will continue to help hundreds of new users in the future!

I just looked at the transaction you sent to @randowhale, and you didn't put the link to the post that you want to be voted on as the transaction memo.

I would definitely be interested in discussing these ideas with you and potentially even building some of them.

Yes @zcgolf16 I noticed! 😃
It is a big help and sometimes it is the only comment in a minnow's post - so it has an even more powerful impact.
I wish to chat with you about coding new features to filter feeds and separate resteemed from original posts on the profile page.
What do you think about this?
