RE: IT'S CONTEST TIME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ~ WE ARE GIVING AWAY 60+ SHARES TO @STEEMBASICINCOME AND SBD REWARDS! YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT!
@shahriartasfia please take in my advice here, as the leader of @greetersguild and a fellow member of the community. Steemit was created to reward authors for original and quality content. When you merely copy and paste, without even making any real effort to tell the story in your own words, you violate not only ethical boundaries but the boundaries and legalities of the Steemit platform.
This being mainly that copy/pasting or duplication of another's work is considered "PLAGIARISM", which is actually against the law in most of the free world and can land someone in a litigation or a jail cell. This is a big no-no, because you are taking another author's work and content, to provide it on here to profit from it. Unless this work belongs to you indefinitely and you took your own work from another outlet, you violated this rule severely and I will give you 24 hours to correct this before I remove the comment with your link, at minimal.
Also, copy/pasting is considered "SPAM", which if you do not know, is typically unwanted or violating material spread around the platform. Our communities work very hard to keep spam off of the platform, so providing this material only opens the doors for you to be flagged, in which your account growth and progress will suffer tremendously. Please read up on what spam is if you are unsure of its definition and examples of such.
Please, take the time to correct your mistakes and save face in the matter. This will impress the whole of us in great ways, as well as show your responsibility, accountability and ability to work within the platform to make this a better place for us all. We sincerely want you here, growing and learning with the rest of us on a daily basis. So take this as a learning opportunity, and grow from it ;)
IF you need help learning how to create quality content or fix this situation, I invite you to join discord and reach out to me personally, LuckyDev#1969 is my username on Discord. Depending on your situation, we may be able to invite you into @greetersguild and coach you, but you MUST fix this issue with this post first.
I honestly hope to see a change in this. If you do, please tag me @terminallyill and the guild @greetersguild so we may display this act of accountability and responsibility to the community! Thank you!!!
And what do you think about using little snippets of other, or several articles, to make your point? Because you do seem to forget when writing in your own words, that not everyone is a native english speaker. For instance i’m dutch, and i just can’t make very nice sentences like an englishmen, american or australian, canadian can. Because of this, and i have noticed this on other social media, you often do not get the attention that the content of your words deserve
Using snippets or pieces of other articles is fine IF you cite the original author and use the portions as quotes. We understand not everyone is fluent and doing what they can, but there is always room for learning and growth. These are all things that members of @greetersguild can aid someone in learning to do. Our goal is to help everyone grow in positive ways. Also, I myself @terminallyill am incredibly fluent in the English language and I write rather well, I will personally, one on one, work with anyone who wishes to learn more about the English language and grammar with using it. If I can help anyone, it is my goal and responsibility to do so. Please do not let my comment be a deterrent, and let it be more of an opportunity to present personal and promotional growth within anyone who utilizes the ability to use it. @elektropunkz, please reach out to me or my group if you have anything you need help with.
