RE: 25 SBD WebGL Screen Capture Contest
I agree with you as well @johnstone
Know this that after 7 days the reward ends so any post that only earns .01 at the 7 day period will never earn another SBD or Steempower.
I don't know who owns our content after that?
Have we all given the rights to our content to steemit inc.? Then if we try to use it agian we will get sued for copyright infringement? Does it tell us that in the crap ( Monkey Hoops) we have to click on to enter and participate?
Most of but not all the whales on steemit and their friends are the only ones allowed to abuse the reward pool.
If you as a minnow try to do it they will crush you like a grape.
If you confront that same group for anything they do, that is somewhat wrong most of them will attack you call you names and flag you into submission.
Many of them are nice as the typical worldly rich person. They say they want to help but their help is limited what they can profit from.
Here on steemit it is just like our world. "He who owns the GOLD (Steem) Rules"
Adjust accordingly.
I believe that you own any content you post here or on the Blockchain. I think by posting data and not deleting it before the curation period, then you are arguably giving others permission to show it. That would be interesting if other websites tried to display all the content on the Steem blockchain. I'm sure there would be content owners that are not happy and there would be reports made to the Search Engines stating ownership.
For my contest, I am assuming that the content creators retain ownership, but I can display them in the contest results here at Steemit.com and on the Steem blockchain and on the Steem.graphics website. I'm going to write up some official rules soon.
I agree with you, and did from the beginning. A similar thing happened to me from a vote bot. I made a post about it and they ruined my reputation, and stole from me and justified it because I confronted them for their thievery.
They have all the power we have none.
Too many punks behind the key board acting like they are men when they are just punks. In life they would just tuck their tail and go home, but here they hide behind fake names and hurt people. Some day they will hurt the wrong person and then they will be exposed and maybe even something very evil happens to them.
I even asked the one behind this issue If it was ok and how he would feel if it happened to him.
I was accused of choosing sides and told to upvote your spam if I like it. I was glad however that he didn't attack me with flag. I will say at least that didn't happen.
What sucks is I did like the guy before this happened, and now I feel sorry for him and us.
The love of Money is the root of all evil!
He is dealing with this because he decided to be a money changer. I think all money changers are evil and should be flown to Mars.
I myself have stopped using the vote bots I think they are cancer here.
If we all stop using them then they will have to find another way to steal from us.
If we retain ownership of our content then why do we only have 7 days to delete it? In my personal unprofessional opinion.... "Ownership signifies control"
Content will get curated after 7 days and it can no longer be edited.
