Getting spammed by Spam-Bots for spending my time writing good articles is not a "harmless" activity, as you would like to mis-characterize it, "Mr. Pirate/Engineer." Every good citizen of SteemIt needs to do their part to help maintain an environment where we will not be auto-harrassed by bots. If you do not understand that, maybe SteemIt is not such a good place for you to be...?

The above article is a perfect example: original content, great original photos - being spammed by a spam-bot for a tag.

I see you have spent good time writing good articles, but why are you upset about the bots "spam"? How many times do you want to introduce yourself and if you aren't introducing yourself anymore, why use the tag?

The bot will only comment and there is no harm done. The bot won't flag you or harm people from finding your content.

Good use of tags will help people find proper content, while bad use of tags will both harm the efforts finding your content and also mess up looking for content in general.

Good luck flagging bot posts.

#steemgigs will find me a script-writer to spam back all of the spam-bots.

If I want to use the "introduceyourself" tag, in a series, then that is exactly what I'm going to do. And, if I want to create a bot, to flag and downvote another bot, that is also exactly what I will do.

Ha, this might get interesting. I hope you'll keep us all updated how this will end :)

Building Spam-Bots to spam back other spam-bots is probably about the most dull thing I can think of. :D It numbs the mind.
