Hi Team!

In light of our recent/ongoing battle with our hashtag abuser, your teamies and I have been testing out a new team hashtag and retweet system with the goal of having greater control over who we retweet.

In fact, with this new system, we will only retweet each other. Anyone outside the team using our new hashtag will not be automatically retweeted by us!

Plus, I believe the new system will help to distribute our retweets more equitably across the team.

However, even with the testing, this is still a "try and see how it goes"...hopefully, we won't need to do any tweaking. So, fingers crossed and without further ado...

You'll find our NEW ROUNDTEAM SETTINGS for our new hashtag by following the link below to our new Team Guide--a work in progress:

http://etsymeetntweet.com/team-guide/roundteam/

We will be using the "LIST" option on Roundteam. Please DELETE any team settings you may have for "Followed" and "Followers" including for both the old & new hashtags.

The set up is super quick and easy! The screen shots show you exactly what to do. So, please update your RoundTeam settings as soon as possible over the next few days. Eventually, the old hashtag will not get retweeted.

Please feel free to post any questions below! or convo me if you run into any problems.

Thanks Team!
Clarissa

---------------------
P.S. The new Team Guide is public for now to help facilitate our move but later on some of the pages will be passcode protected. When that happens the passcode will be posted here in our forum.

Re: Our New Hashtag AND RoundTeam Settings! - Pls Update ASAP!!!

Hi Yona! Remember what i said about how using the hashtag before you get whitelisted could produce a surge of retweets possibly triggering Roundteam's anti-spam detectors and get you blacklisted. I don't know all the reasons behind it but I'm pretty sure that's what happened.

But it's an easy fix. I'm sending them names today to whitelist. They tend to be pretty quick about it. I'll let you know when I hear back or you'll just see your tweets getting retweeted again.

Hi Clarissa,

My re-tweets are very low as well and in some cases none at all. I've updated my settings but my have tweeted a few with the old #etsymnt in error. Can you check that I am whitelisted please?

Re: Our New Hashtag AND RoundTeam Settings! - Pls Update ASAP!!!

Ok, I'm completely confused - new to this team and twitter - sorry! Anyway, I followed the Round Team site/page instructions (very clear, thank you) and now I have a match to that. But IDK what Round Team is or what doing that did - but regardless, I did it :)

So Clarissa, I guess I'm supposed to let you know when I do; all done! twitter.com/Blissful_Vine

I'm a little confused about using the new hashtag but will convo you rather than go on eternally

Thank you for all your work!

Hi Clarissa and team,

I know you added me to the whitelist but I'm still having a problem being retweeted. I know a couple of others are encountering the same issue after reading the comments.

RoundTeam is retweeting other tweets from me so I know I'm using the correct hashtag but anything I post doesn't get retweeted.

I am also getting only a few retweets from #etsymntt the last couple of hours. I got 5 an hour ago and 45 about 3 hours ago. I don't use Etsy-Fu. I tweet manually.
