What posts do you intend to create in this community?

On joining steemit, my mentor first told me on how to earn, he said steemit is all about proof of brain algorithm, how good are you when it comes to writing content he said, the quality of your content determine the amount of upvote you will get, on hearing that I wasn't that good at writing though, but I wanted to know how to, so I took the chance of writing and gradually I write from my head without reference, so on this question.

I will always write content that will add value to this great community (@worldoffootball), most especially quality content that has everything thing to do with football, in return it will be in my own favour when the results come out every 7day, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to write quality contents, we can't all be equal some people are gifted writers but if your not the gifted type like me, I will advice you, the more you write the more chance you have to bring out the quality of writing valued content that is in you.

What do you understand by the term content etiquette?

Content etiquette is a guideline a writer has to follow toward writing or posting, it can further be stated as the behaviours of a members towards a content writing or post, content etiquette is the norms to follow in writing a good and attractive post

What is plagiarism and how do you intend to refrain from this act?

plagiarism is the act of copying another person's idea, text or creative work and presenting it as one's own without permission or referencing the person or source, plagiarism is copying someone's post without giving the person credit by referencing him or her, mostly people make mistake of not citing or referencing peoples effort because they want people to know they actually did it on their own which is wrong, borrowing of words, ideas or sentences need a proper reference to give credit to the author.
Plagiarism reduces ones credibility, reputation and so many important advantages, for example steemit as a whole detest plagiarism if caught your reputation which you have been working toward for month or year will be flagdown by steemit admin, legal action could also be filled against you for plagiarism and I know you don't want your self behind bars. So refrain yourself from plagiarism if you don't know what to write is better not to write so as to avoid discipline or trouble..

What do you understand by copyright-abuse?

Copyright are legal right given to originator or guardian of a particular material to protect the material from usage publicly without authorization, one can pay a certain amount requested by the owner or guardian of the material to enable you have access without legal action taken on you but if otherwise you can face a real life legal action if used, these materials could be computer software, music, movie, image and so many, so copyright abuse is the usage of a persons work for your owned credit without authorization.

How do you properly cite an image or post. Show the license details as well.

To properly cite an image or post you will have to go through procedures which I am gladly pleased to show you steps with screenshots to be followed, so for example I will be citing a picture of CRISTIAINO RONALDO(cr7) of Juventus

Step 1: am sure we all have google, google the name of the image you want to use

Step 2: your Google directs you to your action
And then you can see pictures of the CR7 you searched for.
After then you click image

Now you can see only pictures of CR7 in the picture below
Step 3: click on the button the arrow indicate

Step 4: I assume you've clicked the button the arrow indicate thereafter a row of options drops beneath the button,

Step 5: from the right swipe to the left at the end of the options you will find usage rights
Step 6: click on it another option will review itself

Step 7: here you can see two options which are creative commons license and commercial and other license
Step 7: click on the creative commons license since we are searching for free copyright image of CR7

Another set of image of CR7 will be shown which are free copyright images,
Am choosing a picture of him with the Juventus jersey shown below
Click on the picture

It will redirect you here, then
Remember we are citing the image first, copy the link up where the red arrow indicate.
source
After then you pin your hand on the image
Select download image, after that
You post the downloaded image to your post where you want to use it
Beneath the link you posted, use this symbol
[Source] and then recopy the link and paste beside the source in bracket...
After the image link this is the symbol to follow source
So by doing this correctly you have successfully cited your image.

but note make sure you check the license details of the image to be sure, how to check license

As you can see above where the arrow direction is, click on the license details

The instructions says, you are free to use, that means, if you use this image for your own credit, no legal action will be taken against you as the license is due or free.
Use the same procedures used in citing your image to license the image also, the only diffrence is that you replace the word source and put [license details](link of the license details).
