Proper Tag Usage On Steem

scottcbusiness (72) in steemit • 6 years ago (edited)

In this video I just share my experience with getting my first major flag for using the wrong tag on my posts. This is something to be aware of so you don't accidentally end up getting flagged too. Make sure you use very relevant tags. Unlike regular social, proper tag usage is somewhat community moderated and is generally one of the smallest offenses, but one nonetheless. I was unaware of this for a very long time, but know I know and so do you.

This is the blog I previously did about tags being informational: https://steemit.com/steemit/@scottcbusiness/lets-talk-about-tags

Now it's a step further in moderation of tags.

Repping my @Dtube hat!

have a question about that : when I write about a review of a game then you write gaming review and 3 more... what 3 more should be? there are none i think XD

$0.00

scottcbusiness (72) · 6 years ago

the actual game name itself, the system it was on (xbox gaming, pc gaming), review, blog, vlog if you recorded a video. You know?

just write with my own hand but "xbox gaming" or "pc gaming" that tags don't exist in steemit no?

scottcbusiness (72) · 6 years ago

You just got to explore a little bit. So like "pcgaming" and "pcgamer" are tags that exist. Also a tag always exists, it just might not be popular or have been posted on yet in awhile or yet at all.

zerokun (52) · 6 years ago

I check alphabetical the full list of tags and you can't find "pc" or "pcgaming" should be between "painting" and "people" but isn't...

scottcbusiness (72) · 6 years ago

You should be able to just navigate to the tag and see what's there and go off that

There are a few tags that don't exist - fun things happen when you try to make your first tag "new" for instance - but yes, for most the problem is in Steemit's listing, not in the tags themselves.
