## What is considered spam or abuse?
13+
14+
- **Plagiarism**: Copying text or media without crediting the source.
15+
- **Repeated/identical comments** across multiple posts.
16+
- **Tag misuse**: Using unrelated or misleading tags to gain visibility.
17+
- **Threats or harassment** against other users.
18+
- **Unlabeled NSFW**: Posting sensitive content without the `nsfw` tag.
19+
- **Scams and fraudulent offers**.
20+
21+
Downvotes or moderation actions may follow these behaviors. Repeat offenders can damage their reputation score and be muted by communities.

A tag is a description of the assigned content, used by search engines to identify and provide accurate search results. Tags must be in lowercase letters and cannot contain spaces, but hyphenated words with a single dash are acceptable.
27+
- **Be original**: Add your own commentary, photos, or insights.
28+
- **Cite sources**: Link to references when quoting or using others’ work.
29+
- **Use relevant tags**: Pick 1–5 tags that match your topic (e.g., `travel`, `photography`, `introduction`). Keep them lowercase; hyphens are allowed.
30+
- **Format for readability**: Use headings, lists, and images to break up text.
31+
- **Set fair beneficiaries** if sharing rewards with collaborators.
32+
- **Respect community rules**: Many communities have their own posting standards — read them before submitting.

## How to use tags?
36+
## Safe tagging practices
37+
38+
- Choose tags that accurately describe the content so readers and curators can find it.
39+
- Avoid trending tags unrelated to your post; mislabeling can lead to downvotes.
40+
- Add `nsfw` for adult or graphic content to warn viewers.
41+
42+
---
43+
44+
## Commenting etiquette
45+
46+
- Add value with feedback or questions; avoid one-word replies.
47+
- Do not paste the same link or promotion across many posts.
48+
- If you spot abuse, downvote politely or report it in the relevant community rather than starting a flame war.
49+
50+

23-
Users have the freedom to create their own tags, but it is important to choose a relevant and useful tag in order to make your post easily discoverable. For instance, using the 'introduction' tag can make your first introduction post popular. It is crucial to use tags that are related to your post to avoid receiving downvotes for mislabeling.
52+
## Protect your reputation
2453

25-
## How to search content by tags?
54+
- Your **reputation score** rises with constructive engagement and falls with abuse or downvotes.
55+
- Consistent quality posting, thoughtful comments, and helpful curation are the best ways to grow reputation.

On the left side of your feed there are mostly used tags shown for fasten your search. By clicking on the tag you can see posts that used this tag.

# Resource Credits troubleshooting
7+
8+
Resource Credits (RC) power every Hive transaction. When they run low, you may be unable to post, comment, or claim rewards. Use this guide to recover quickly.
9+
10+
---
11+
12+
## Check your RC status
13+
14+
1. Open your **profile → Wallet → RC** on Ecency.
15+
2. Review **RC %** and the **estimated actions left** (posts, comments, transfers).
16+
3. Check for **power-downs** or **large votes** that may have reduced your RC reserve.
17+
18+
---
19+
20+
## Fast ways to restore RC
21+
22+
- **Power up** even a small amount of HIVE to increase your RC pool immediately.
23+
- Use **Boost+** (Ecency Points) to request a temporary HP delegation that increases RC.
24+
- Ask a friend to temporarily **delegate Hive Power** to your account.
25+
- Wait for natural regeneration: RC refills at roughly **20% per day**.
26+
27+
---
28+
29+
## Reduce RC usage
30+
31+
- Limit **edits** and large media uploads until RC recovers.
32+
- Avoid posting multiple times in a short period; comment and vote more sparingly.
33+
- Disable automatic posting features from third-party apps if they are draining RC.
34+
35+
---
36+
37+
## Estimate RC needs (typical ranges)
38+
39+
| Action | Approximate RC cost |
40+
| --- | --- |
41+
| Vote or small comment | Very low (a few RC) |
42+
| New post with images | Moderate |
43+
| Token transfer | Low to moderate |
44+
| Power up/down | Low |
45+
46+
Values vary with network congestion and account HP. Always check the **estimated actions left** indicator in your wallet for a personalized view.
47+
48+
---
49+
50+
## When to contact support
51+
52+
- RC is stuck near zero for more than a day even after powering up.
53+
- You see errors signing transactions despite having RC.
54+
- You suspect unusual RC drain from a compromised key.
55+
56+
Reach out in the [Ecency Help chat](https://ecency.com/chats/hive-125126/channel) with screenshots of your RC panel so the team can help.

26+
27+

36+
37+
---
38+
39+
## What if I don't have enough Resource Credits on mobile?
40+
41+
- Request a small **Boost+** from **Perks** using Ecency Points to get temporary HP and RC.
42+
- **Power up** a small amount of HIVE if available.
43+
- Reduce RC usage by avoiding repeated edits or large uploads until RC regenerates (about 20% per day).
44+
45+
---

47+
## What is the difference between Boost+, Boost, and Promote on mobile?
48+
49+
- **Boost+**: Uses Points to request HP delegations and may improve curation and RC.
50+
- **Boost (Account Boost)**: Mobile-only **in-app purchase** that grants a 30-day HP delegation without using Points.
51+
- **Promote**: Uses Points to list a post in the promoted feed; no votes guaranteed.
52+
53+
See the [Boost and Promote guide](/ecency/boost-and-promote/) for a detailed comparison.
54+
55+
