RE: My first post...
Or perhaps she doesn't know how to use sources properly yet as she's a newbie? Did you even consider helping her before you attack her so viciously? Listen, I didn't get laid either last night but I won't take it out to poor folks (especially newbies who have a lot to learn and need guidance) on Steemit. Relax a tiny bit for fuck sakes ;)))
For your information, I have spent 2 years on this platform coaching people (in groups, on the one-on-one basis, through Steem.chat, Discord, Skype... - you name it). If I spent just 10% of that time creating my own posts and in different ways craving for the attention of big SP account holders, my wallet would very likely look different. But I enjoyed (and still do) when my students outperform me (what many of them did).
However, (read my initial comment once again), maybe you'll figure out that it has been addressed more to ring the bell of those (and some, apparently recognized themselves) capable to highly upvote such plagiarised crap content than to the author itself (as I am aware she is new - although, I've learned on the way some things should be cut in its roots).
And BTW, your language is not very appealing if even appropriate.
It's because I pick my language wisely depending the person's attitude in front of me each time. You are doing great on Steemit and congratulations. However, Steemit is nothing more than just another social media platform and part of the world we live in. And this world is supposed to be a free world (in theory), right? So, anyone can vote/support whoever he/she wants to. The upvoter in this case has created 95% of his SP from his own pocket (FIAT money he made in the real world and invested on Steemit), so if he wants to support people from his real environment, I don't see where is the problem exactly. Do you?
I have been raised in a way to respect the rules of the house I'm in it.
In that sense, Steemit "house" has its rules as well. They are very transparently delivered to every new user, before creating their first post, in the following form.
Some of those links are:
inside which you may find what is considered spam or abuse of Steemit platform usage
Through above-listed links, every new user would be guided as well to read "Helpful Posts from Steemit Users" among which they may find the following ones:
According to all just listed, and to answer your question, that's exactly where the problem is and where I see it!
We don't disagree there at all. I am 100% for crediting sources correctly and respecting the rules of the platform that host us. Sure!!! However, if the experienced steemians like you and me attack newbies by doing a mistake in their very first post instead of guiding them and showing them the right way, Steemit will become a ''prive club'' for very few members and that's the ideal way to fail and never grow as a community. It's her first post, she made a mistake as she didn't know better. Show her the right way, don't take her head off because she got a fat vote. That is my opinion. Have a nice day :)
I'm not taking her head off, I told her what Steemit community values.
Her head has been taken off by those that brought her here without teaching and guiding her but upvoting her just because they know her from their real-life environment.
If every one of us brings here our real-life guild to upvote each other just because we know each other from the real world and no matter of the content quality or originality that we would provide, Steemit would also become just another "prive club" but for certain group of members!
Think about it and have a nice day too!
