Hello Steemians,
I've noticed a lot of comments that say the welcome messages and tips are annoying or creating spam. Should I shut off my service or keep it running?
Here is my original post on this. https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@bottymcbotface/project-welcomeparty-welcoming-and-tipping-our-newest-members
I've been getting a lot of good responses Here but I'm open to discussion. Let me know what you think?
I was so excited to see my first tip! In my opinion you are a lovely welcome to steemit! Don't let anyone let you feel negatively for being such a positive uplifting person to so many newbs. Sending lots of love to you! ❤️
Beep beep. Hi @iamjamie!
You have used tip! in your comment - that`s my magic word for sending tips ;)

Thanx botty! Muah!
Botty, you send tips to anyone who writes tip! in his/her comment?! Why? I mean it is good, but how, why, who, .. ? :D
;)
Yeh, First tip, you can not imagine how happy I was, keep it up! :)
😍
Who said that you are spamming?!
You are doing just an awesome work. Tipping newbies is a great way to say hello and expresses the warmness and love of the steemit community.
You should never stop it. :)
Very good! @nitesh9! I also want to know who said such silly thing, a spam! never! Your tip @bottymcbotface was very important surprise to me on my first day here. You showed me generosity, friendliness, companionship in Steemit community. Please never stop your beautiful giving act, this will save quite a few from leaving this place!
Cheers.
Agreed! Thanks for the welcome, very nice :D
Hi Nitesh Plz follow me and Upvote my posts and comment. I am newbie here. I will vote back you and comment on your posts. Thank you @nitesh9
I think what he means is that because there are many people who are wanting to take advantage of someone who is tipping newbies, it creates increases in 'spam' content, that is easy to create by newbies.
AS a newbie myself I think its important for people to feel wanted. The SPAM is going to filter itself out eventually!!
I agree your opinion @nitesh9 because I uploaded #introduceyourself post today and it didn't get enough attention. Fortunately, some good people commented my post and I got a bit confidence. Maybe this is caused by newbie's low steempower.
I just received a tip from you. I thought it was a very nice gesture, thank you.
You should keep it running because you are helping Steemit a lot by that. When I joined 1 week ago i recieved a 0.001 SBD, I know it's not much but I felt amazing, 2 days later another person sent me 0.001 SBD. What I am trying to say is that if you keep sending tips to newcomers you'll make them keep posting and stay here. It's like you motivate them @bottymcbotface. When they barely make 1-2 cents from their posts your tips could make a huge difference in them giving up or still trying.
I am posting this because I enjoyed my first week here and I'd like to see this site grow bigger and bigger.
it will grow for sure :)
Dear Do follow me and Upvote my posts if you like them. I will do same to your posts. Thank you :)
Hi, keep on going, do what you want, it is your money anyway! you can send me as many tips as you want. I do not mind :)
As you like....
Lol
Thats not spamming in any way yaar, You are doing great job. Keep it up.. And Never stop it :) I liked your Tip so much
You are doing great ! I would upvote or tip anyone, if they do ask it properly
I'd say it's entirely up to you, there's independent decisions anyone can make here (follow your instincts), same time however, you first started here as a new entity, people took notice to you which help to uplift you and you became greater and wiser than you were from the start. I appreciate you because you left me a tip when I first started almost 3 months ago to this day, I learned how to acquire steem power, and now I have the chance to give some of that back to the growing community. That uplifts me, and I'm sure it still uplifts you.

Thanks, bro!

I feel that you are showing the love and helping to drive people to create and that is what this is about. You will never know who that might inspire to greatness and you will have been a part of that. Good on you! to some it may only bring a giggle or smile but that is a great thing in its self to others it may inspire them to keep striving to create better more valuable content that is what this is all about I thank you..
What you did made me feel really amazing, someone has taken the time to open it, maybe read it, and giving some value on it. That's awesome, and helps the newbies as me to continue. Also, the message you leave will not be forgotten. Thanks for being the first one!
Hello @bottymcbotface. Thanks for the tip!
Honestly brother, I was a little bit nervous about my first post. Simply because I am not a writer most of the time. I'm used to people on Facebook sharing stupid little tidbits that don't mean anything. You made me feel like I was being welcomed into this wonderful community. So don't worry about what other people think and keep up your good work and positive attitude. We want better content on here so we need to bring more people. I respect people that do things like you. Because that one act of kindness could totally change someone's life. No joke. I don't fully understand this place so thanks for the tip.
As a noob, I thought it was really nice. Do your thing man, UBU. :)
Thankyou botty i have no idea what im doing im a blind minnow bumpin around im tryin tho ... i have no clue what to do for everyone or myself no matter how many help posts i read i keep tryin to make a dtube vid but i get error message when trying to upload a poc or snap im using safari browser any tips would be appreciated.
Try using Chrome, use youtube if it's not copyright. If it is you should reference the original creator. You are on the right tracks!
I just tried chrome thats not workin either :( im usin iphone theres gotta be an answer somewhere ive looked high and low
You commented this to my post too haha
Not everyone will ever appreciate what you are doing. Tipping newbies does not mean you spaming, it is just a welcome gratitude. It will encourage them to work even harder. Keep up your good work, never stop doing good. Remember, a hand that giveth is blessed
Nope Not at all. You're doing good work man because I've seen many peoples who join Steem because they know they can make money here by posting content but they don't know that's not easy but you are tipping them when they signup that's good way to motivate them to do work. Cheers to you man btw thanks for the tip :)
@mroptimist, I just posted for the first time...and I agree with you completely. It's a kind gesture and it's motivating and encouraging. :)
I think this is a great project and shouldn't be stopped, except if it's harming the overall project of steemit, but I doubt it :)
i dont think you are spamming at all. keep doing what you are doing, with your gesture to tip me was the warmest welcome to the community.
No I think it encourages new users it is important to remember we were all new at some time and some place hey?
Yes i fully agree with yr coz i have also face the same problem they try bully new steemer
Please keep on tipping, if it makes you happy. It definitely makes the new people on steemit happy 😊
Thanks a lot for my first tip!!
I appreciate your tip 😊
Thank you for my tip. Thoughtful! I was taken by surprise. Thanks for adding to my day. You are loooooved.
I am glad you contacted me thanks!
Don't stop I was over the moon when you sent me that tip. I'm new and just learning how to work this site. What you did made me feel welcome and has helped me learn quicker so thank you
I did not find it annoying at all! I thought it was witty and a good welcome on here. Thank you so much!
The tip and the welcome in very friendly. :) Thank you.
hm as a newbe my self may tell keep it UP, this type of atetoin is motivating a bit. thanks
Hey there! I really appreciated you giving me a warm welcome :) I think it's a good thing to do :) Wish you a wonderful day!
I just saw my first tip and I came here inmediatly, thank you so much! :) Please, keep doing what u feel its good. :D
You are my first friend. I will remember you. Thanks I hope I will get support from you.
Oh no please don't stop, like everyone that commented on this post, your act of generosity is heart warming for me. I only joined a couple of weeks ago I didn't know my way around the community so I felt like non existence. I plug up the courage to do my 'introduceyourself' and you were the first to comment and gave me a tip. I was very encouraged and that helped me to plan articles that I can share. Really appreciate you. Thank you so much!
I just saw that you tipped me. Thank you very much. Don't know how it works, just got a message. you gave 4 days ago, and only now I got an aatention to it, strange. But thanks again, it's much appreciated
Well i'm glad you tipped me just now! I still don't know how this 'tip' process works....you're kinda smart so i'm following you!
Your reply definitely made me feel welcome. Additionally, I'm getting a feel of the tipping system, so again a good thing :)
It didn't look like spam at all, don't worry!
Hey Mr Bottymcbotface,
You are officially the coolest Bot that i've ever met on the internet. Are all of the new bots as cool as you are?
I doubt it because you're the coolest bot of the land.
But anyways, how did you say thanks for the tip again in binary? Oh yea,

Hey @bottymcbotface,
No, you shouldn't stop tipping newbies. I very much appreciated your welcome message and tip, and I will remember you when I get rich. :)
It's a bit of both.
When I put up my first post and saw an immediate tip, I thought, "Awesome, someone saw and liked my post already!" Zing! Instant high.
Then I saw the name "bottymcbotface" and thought, "Oh, it's just a bot, no one has actually seen or liked it - it's just an automated part of the platform. Not so high anymore.
Then I looked a little closer and saw that bottymcbotface is an actual user, good! Then looked even closer to see that it is automated and my post hasn't been seen by a human. Bad.
On the whole, it's a nice gesture.
As a newbie, it works for me :) Thanks.
Well, I did appreciate your tip :) It is not about the amount, it is more about the fact that you welcomed me in a nice way!
I don't find it spamming, especially if you are helping the new Steemians! (like me). Thank you so much for my first ever tip btw! ^_^
Hello again botty. I, for 1, appreciated your warm & lucrative welcome. One can often feel invisible on the internet! Thanx de nuevo.
I think it is a great idea! Thanks again for the tip.
It's such a marvelous way of showing endearment. It gave me such an uplifting spirit FOREVER!
