Exactly the point.

I am following a few country-based hashtags, and most of the content I see there are coming from AllQuakes - EMSC (npub16et…mgt2) for quakes less than M4.0.

I never said that you should stop posting those information, I simply suggested to not use country-based hashtags for magnitudes less than 4.0.

For example, I live in the #Philippines, and our country is very near the Ring of Fire, have plenty of faults around, have a lot of volcanoes. Of course quakes are very common, we get 800 to 12,000 quakes a year, majority of which are in the M2.0 to M3.9 range. Seeing those frequently posted in the #Philippines hashtag is “spammy”.

Please, don't take this the wrong way. It is a suggestion where a middle-ground is available. But if it is technically impossible, then I guess there's nothing that can be done. Is it?

In any case, do you have a paper or some statistic that shows using country-based hashtags for quakes less than M4.0 is highly beneficial to the general public, especially the local residents? I would love to be proven wrong that it isn't “spammy”. ^_~

(PS I hope it's clearer.)
