This experiment has been running for almost 2 weeks now and I think it's time to analyze the outcome. If you don't know, what I'm referring to ... :
https://steemit.com/goodbot/@goodbot/goodbot-s-first-job
@goodbot left more than 700 comments in that time.
The reason, why I thought policing that tag would be a good thing to do, was mainly to keep it free for the actual newbies, who are encouraged by the welcome page to make a post there.
There isn't a real rule about this and my bot doesn't try to enforce any rules, but tries to give a friendly hint.
While I had some encouraging comments and votes for goodbot's main post, I also got a bunch of not so happy responses ...
https://steemit.com/@goodbot/recent-replies
First, I tried upvoting the positive comments and whenever someone reacted and removed the tag, I gave them some cents for their fixed post.
However, I also had some people going really mad at me and I started copying the steemcleaner's standard reply.
In the end I felt like Eric Cartman, when he was deputized ...
I don't want to be the next Steemit Police.
I still think tag abuse sucks, but I will not comment on responses to @goodbot.
I will just let it run, until I hear a good argument against it.
What bugs me about this is how people who practice tag discipline will lose out compared to tag abusers.
I just hope people will go back to manual curation. With 10 votes/day it shouldn't really be too hard to do some actual reading instead of showering an entire category with (easily abused) votes. If that was to happen more, @goodbot's comments might actually have more of an effect.
💯 % agree!

Thank you for the work @felixxx (:
It would be amazing if the developers could add some kind of diminishing return for author payouts for the repeated usage of such tags with an unique usage...
That way curators would still be rewarded and could "shower" their most favorite tags (:
p.s.: ich glaube mitbekommen zu haben, dass du ein großer Anker in der deutschen Community bist, aber ich seh dich leider nie im Steemit Chat :D
Liebe Grüße

There is a lot to be said for manual curation!

Thank you for posting this report @felixxx.
Sounds like you have done the best one can do.
Principle: Every organisation has policy, purpose and authority. If an organisation is to maintain their policy....it needs to be enforced.
Speaking of manual curation.......it is one of the best ways to promote quality content on Steemit.
All the best. Cheers.

It's always good to have a balance between manual and automated. Tag abuse is a rampant issue.

I'm all about manual curation @felixxx; I do understand that bots serve their purpose if you're trying to reach a really large slice of the community... my issue with bots from the beginning has always been that few people have the skills to create a truly "intelligent" bot that can distinguish between different kinds of content.

lol for what that bot you draw look like
I won't stop if I were you - if you are doing it for the good of the community in the end they'll understand that just like cheetah.. the downside is you'd have to keep replying to mad replies or negative reactions of people who possibly still don't know how to get around here properly. I'm here for almost a year and am sure I still don't either - am still learning till now - you know what I asked you about in the chat last time right? am even almost a year here .. sooner or later they'd accept that too..
don't stop if i were you ;)

I absolutely agree with you! The abuse of tags should be removed, what would people write where they wanted.
