RE: Indisputable Evidence of @akarantain Being an Intentional Art Plagiarist and a Poseur.
If someone is undiscerning, I agree with you completely. Would not have thought the situation is this bad, as I would expect, that anybody in their right mind would correct a mistake, when given the chance. And I'm not asking for infinite chances. Of course there has to be improvement.
I could be completely misjudging the situation, but when a fellow steemian edits a post after being made aware of a wrongdoing, could that not be seen as "correcting" of the very issue? Particularly, when that person from then on respects the rules?
You are misinformed, the user didnt edit those 21 posts when told the references needed to be cited on January 5, the user only did so after the posts were revealed in our reports, almost a month after.
Even if the person would be respecting the rules now(which you cannot assert with confidence), given that it was proven the user lied about the artwork mentioned in the post not being made from a reference image it is well established that the user intentionally omitted to mention it not because of inadvertance but with the intent to deceive. Hence, even if the user would be following the rules now, that fact has no merit or virtue and it is in no way redeeming for there is no merit or virtue in correcting something when forced to.
