RE: Should Etiquette Play A Part on Hive?

Hi, to answer your title question about whether etiquette should play a part on Hive? Yes! Manners always matter. :)
Regarding tip token replies, I made two of them (LUV and HBIT), and this is something that I think about and worry about. I've tried to whittle down the replies to as brief/small/short as possible. With LUV, the intent is to "share love" so I really want the person being replied to to get that reply, not just get a token. With HBIT, I've encouraged people to use the command either: (a) with the official mine @hivebits.mine, (b) in reply to their own post or comment, or (c) in a reply to someone they've interacted with before and know.
Also, you can mute any tip token account (or any account) on most front ends and that should help.
Thanks, that's what I thought.
Understand I am in no way against tipping tokens, I use most of them myself, yes the ads are huge for most of them but I understand you've got to advertise your product as well as you want to let people know that they received a tip form someone else.
The issue was the conversation that had nothing to do with me or my post and on top of all that they were tipping each other back & forth which then makes my post look more spammy then necessary. Bottom line is that the conversation that transpired just didn't belong where it was, no etiquette what-so-ever.

I completely understand what you're saying on the tipping back and forth business. This is something that some of the tip token creators have talked about and are concerned with. Frankly, it's a problem. I feel it's definitely okay to give a token back and forth. I do it. The number 1 thing to me on tipping tokens is that there is a real, authentic, genuine comment along with the tip command...a comment that truly engages with the topic of the post or with the person.
One other thing just so you know, and this is very ironic considering this post's topic, LUV and HBIT only allow for 3-or-fewer ! commands, otherwise, they're skipped. I believe that LOLZ does the same and that BEER allows for one, though I'm not 100% sure on this. The 3-or-fewer rule was implemented to try and cut down on multiple command copy/paste farming and possible spam. Just letting you know (your LUV and HBIT didn't go through because there were four here.) No problem, just letting you know. :)
Wow, that's good info to know. I've done several articles on tipping tokens but never came across that little tidbit. Now I have to get with each tokens creator and see if they have that rule as well. I feel a little research & article coming on.
Thanks for the info.
