polite "please stop spamming lobsters" message

I've had a 100% positive response rate sending this to people who see Lobsters as a good place to dump content marketing. Please feel free to take it and use it to help guide people to good behavior.

Hey folks,

I’ve liked the articles you’ve written and submitted to Lobsters, thanks for sharing good posts.

A good rule of thumb is that at most half of your submissions and comments should be on your own stuff. Otherwise folks will take your participation as one-way exploitation and start flagging all your stories as spam. Hope this helps, and I look forward to seeing you around the site.
