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?
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.
