It's not because a message is automated that :
Anyway, all I know is that newcomers who actually took the time to read my comment are very happy with it. I still believe a directory is the best way to give newcomers a good start on this platform...
Of course it's easier to flag away without reading...
I did read it and I see it on every introduction post. It’s not unique to the author and while I do understand automation is needed here to keep up with it all, these feel like a cheap sales pitch.
Thank you for explaining that you are in fact a real person behind the comment just using automation to help cover more ground. I removed the flag. But still, 10 well intentioned comments directly new comers to projects or websites is very much spammy and I would argue it’s not beneficial.
Well, thanks for answering and sharing your opinion.
I don't think it's a cheap sales pitch... after all, I'm selling nothing here :-)
I'm just trying to give newcomers a starting point when arriving here. When I first started I wished someone told me who to check out first to make the first days/weeks a bit interesting. Because let's be honest, when you're new here it are not the most interesting posts you see in the feed...
And yes, automation seems the most appropriate way to point people to the directory. I spent a lot of time on steemit… but I still didn't discover a way to be here 24/7...
Anyway, thanks again for the constructive comment and I hope you will at least take a look at the directory and tell me what you think about it...
