One problem I immediately see is that the tag gets cut off at a hyphen, which means I cannot use the tag #steemit-issues
Another issue is that sometimes I want to use the hashtag without referring to a Steem tag. For example in my witness post I used the hashtags steemitwebsite and #potential-bugs but I was referring to the Slack channels.
Let me try adding a backslash before it and see if it changes how steemit.com recognizes the tag: #steemitwebsite.
