RE: Dieselpunk Atomics Collection
Are you http://www.ruuddekorte.com/ ?
Please at least give credit to the original photographer if you're just going to cut and paste his photos. Many people will assume these are your photographs if you say nothing at all.
While some of the users here disagree about whether the rights of artists should be respected, up to this point there has been a concerted effort to keep plagiarism and copy paste to a minimum.
There was another user that had been "reprimanded" we'll say for doing what you are doing and he at least posted the names of the photographers he was copy and pasting.
Please at least do the same or it will make many of us out to be hypocrites for not downvoting your post.
Cheers!

Also plagiat.
50% of steemit tread are plagiat. Why you flagged me?
Thanks for bringing other possible plagiarism to my attention. I will take a look now...
Ok, so on that site, which is not Steemit.com, the actual photographer says that is his picture and has a link to his website. The same website I posted in my comment above.
Even if that other website is using Ruud De Korte's pictures without his consent, they are at least giving photo credit and linking to his site, neither of which you did here on Steemit. Since it is apparently actually Ruud De Korte that posted the picture there is obviously no issue with violating his ownership rights. He was the one showing it in the first place.
I explained why I and others flagged you. I'm going to bed now, but I can explain how to properly give credit and have a solid post if you care to do it correctly.
You freely admit you plagiarized and your excuse is that others plagiarize, is that correct?
I suggest that you instead create your own original content or learn how to give proper credit and your own original commentary when using others intellectual property to avoid being flagged in the future.
Cheers
