You have clearly stated it here below,being new does not excuse a person in any way.
Now, I get that a lot of the people asking for upvotes and follows might be new, and a lot of them probably don’t speak/write good English
I always see a bunch of folks not learning the art of commenting,like how do you get the guts comment on a post like this with "nice post,i liked this post..."WTF....!!
I have been inspired to write a post today explaining how guys should comment,people should realize that commenting greatly on Steemit is one of the easiest way to success.
As i write this,i have already seen one of those generic comments! As you said
it takes time to instill cultural values, and not everyone ever will get on the same page and adopt the codes of conduct some (as myself) might hold as ideals for what’d best serve the community.
The more you teach such stuff,the more people will learn and change,out of every 10 people,one will learn and change according to the laws of averages.
That’s always my intent with shadings like this. How many people it may affect, who knows. But even if only one person gets it and course-corrects - or passes on the lessons and helps others check themselves as they’re learning the ropes, it may be worth it.
I’d encourage you to follow through with that inspiration. Post the link back here when it’s up, and I’ll happily show my support (as long as it’s quality)... :-)
I have finished the article and you can have a look at it here.
