Spamming comments is frowned upon by the community.

Comment spam is currently defined by @steemcleaners as:

  • 10 or more generic comments per day that are not in response to a question posed by the post or comment. “Thanks”, “Great Post!”, “Informative Post” , “Great Photo!”, “Good”, “Like”, “Nice”, “Wow”, “Cute”, “Follow me”, etc.

  • Commenting on old posts to hide self up-votes or a voting trail.

  • Copy/Paste comments that serve no purpose or the purpose is self promotion (including copying and pasting similar comments in rotating way).

  • Comments that inform the contributor that they have been up upvoted, resteemed, or flagged when the curator does not actually upvote, resteem, or flag the post.

  • Fishing/farming votes by using multiple accounts to comment on posts by known comment curators.

  • Unsolicited and off topic referral links.

Continued comment spamming may result in action from the cheetah bot.

thanks, was not entirely aware, not entirely in control either, this is my friend's brilliant idea, but I didn't realize starting an art community and telling the art tag authors about my new community would be flagged?
IN FACT!
This author used our #artzone tag and is requisition attention from our community. Our bot is informing them some aspect of their tagged article is not conforming to our requirements for an upvote.
So I SEE NO REASON this would be frowned upon...
HOWEVER:
So I'm handing out opportunity for free upvotes, is it ok if I tell 9 people a day on the art tag, that this opportunity exists, to support artists on STEEM?

Or what?
