I thought at the time it was the #steemit tag. People were posting things that had nothing to do with #steemit. On the other hand, this is an analogy very much related to an ongoing situation related to #steem, or more specifically, the intellectual property thereof.
I don't remember if he ever specifically downvoted based on the steem tag, so fair enough. I don't really care about 'tag abuse' currently anyway, as the UI for tags makes it not very usable. If I were to care about tag abuse I would have downvoted a ton of posts over it as such abuse undermined a couple of initiatives I was trying to support such as TIL. Hopefully the upcoming communities feature will be a better way to organize discussions on a particular topic.
sorry to make a snarky remark, but what if he said, this goes for the steemit license and how it concerns steem :D I though that was implied :) true indirectly, but should this be categorized as "steam patent intellectualproperty book spam" sounds very strange after the flags have voted their opinion on the post :|
Using the steem tag for something not directly related to Steem. Dan has flagged people for exactly that in the past.

This post does appear to be directly related to the Steem ecosystem.
is this even the real dan?
Id guess it is, but that is a reasonable question

Probably means the #steem tag. It doesn't apply explicitly to this post.
