Let me guess: You have used the tag repeatedly :D ?

I have used it several times.. most of which came after hardforks.. one time after I'd been away for a while... or even to promote my other friends I've brought onto steemit.

If I wanted to.. I COULD HAVE used it on these active trending post (not trying to spam but these post could have used the #introduceyourself hashtag)

I still think it's established as a tag for absolute newcomers.

This way you can easily find their intro-posts and have a look at the new users.

it is an established tag for introducing yourself... which is why majority of newcomers should use the tag.. as far as being "absolute" then we should go down every hashtag and consider every piece of content for being absolutely for any tag.

Like I said.. I understand the frustration but there are various reasons to use the introduceyourself hashtag, aside from account verification.

now that I think about it... why not make #verification for absolute newcomers?

as far as being "absolute" then we should go down every hashtag and consider every piece of content for being absolutely for any tag.

That could prove to be difficult.
In the case of #introduceyourself though, it would be pretty easy.

very true.. maybe offer an option to newcomers to create a "one time" introduction post that will either have it's own feed

OR

include a symbol of some sort.. like the symbol shows for choosing 100% steem power, when you make a post.

that way.. in the #introduceyourself hashtag... you can easily identify the newcomers from everyone else

Or: just show some commonsense and some manners and don't tag-abuse :P

if the content is obviously nothing to do with introduction of some sort.. yea, don't abuse.. I agree with that.
I've also used #introduceyourself to introduce other "characters" I play in my films and skits.
