RE: I *Was* going to vote for you until I saw the TAG SPAM!
I do use the steemit tag quite a bit, as we are on steemit, is that not appropriate then?

If the post is specifically about steemit, then it would be appropriate. Like in the case of this post...isn't about my voting on steemit and trying to provide a better explanation of the actual 'rules' that can be enforced on here.
However, I would say that just because we are on steemit, wouldn't qualify it to be appropriate for using the steemit tag. A rather cheesy example would be...I took a picture of a flower, or my cat...really doesn't apply to steemit in anyway.
If we didn't follow this line of logic, then the steemit tag would essentially be worthless, in that it would basically include every post ever put on here. However, there's no problem using the 'blog' tag on every post in my opinion.
If you have a moment, read my last post, it is in the tag steemit, you need to get to the end to see why, I think it is appropriate? maybe you can offer some opinion.
Your post there would definitely fall into a bit of a grey area where I could see arguments going both ways. However personally, when I read it...it didn't really seem out of place in the Steemit tag. This isn't something I would have batted an eye at, not seeing it as a problem.
There are always going to be some more 'fringe' cases like this where it can be debatable either way. However, you will easily see the clear distinction between something like your post...and the person with 30 posts, just including a random picture of nature saying 'my pretty picture'.
Those who are purposely trying to 'exploit' the steemit tag stick out like a sore thumb. I'd be surprised if you had anyone even mention your post being an issue...especially if you don't post things like that terrible often. :)

Ok, thank you for the advice, and for your time, much respect to you. peace.
