Thanks for writing this veen, well put. Sometimes it's hard to discern who the spammers are and who the people that are just excited to share their own content are. However, I imagine that if content creators like lil, who had a back-log of many blog posts, were to visit Hubski and then dump all of their posts at once, the reception would not have been the same as it was. What lil did was to get to know the community first, then share more and more of her work. As such, it was well received. Imagine showing up at someone's party and insisting yourself upon every guest repeatedly, that's not nearly as ingratiating as the person that introduces themselves and also wants to know more about all of the people in the room as well. There are no rules against posting the way this user is, but like you say it's a pretty fast track to being ignored by everybody. Also, Merry Christmas pal! I hope it's a good one for you!
