ACHIEVEMENT POST 3: CONTENT ETIQUETTE | BY @mazikenechukwu || 13-12-2021 || #club5050

Greetings, dear Steemians! I hope you're all having a great day. Today on my blog, I'll share with you the general principles or code of behavior that govern our content development and posting on this fantastic platform. Following the successful vote and verification of my accomplishment two post, I've created achievement three, which aims to explain the core of steemit content etiquette.

INTRODUCTION

---

The importance of content cannot be overstated, as what an object or thing conveys or is made of determines its true value. The actions of an organization or establishment are guided by etiquettes.

CONTENT ETIQUETTE

---

Content is "something that is to be expressed through some medium, as speech, writing or any of various arts.
source
Etiquette is defined as formal rules and manners that are considered sacred and acceptable in society. These have been established by convention for a very long time and are followed diligently in both professional and social settings.

STEEMIT ETIQUETTES

---

There are several significant etiquettes that serve as rules for those who use the platform in order to enable them not only submit original content, but also to stay relevant in every way to the groups to which they are subscribed!
Some of these guidelines are stated as follows according to @thecryptofiend source

• Don’t post and run.
• Don’t over-post.
• Don’t Post nudity or graphic imagery unless you tag it with NSFW.
• Don’t be a fake, plagiarise or pass off others’ work as your own.
• Don’t engage in tag spamming.
• Don’t resteem everything you see.
• Don’t post unrelated links in comments.
• Don’t directly ask for votes.
• Don’t expect reciprocal votes.
• Don’t bribe people for votes, re-steems, follows or ask directly for money and so many more.

PLAGIARISM

---

Plagiarism is defined as the act of passing off someone else's work or idea as your own without disclosing that it was not created by you. In the same vein, pretending to be the creator of the work in order to claim all the credit, then submitting your work to the boss, claiming to have completed work that wasn't actually yours and failing to acknowledge the primary source.
It is unconventional and unprofessional because it is stealing someone else's intelligence without acknowledgment; adopting someone else's same words, ideas, and effort as if it were your own. It's unprofessional since the plagiarist makes money off of the steal.

COMMON TYPES OF PLAGIARISM

---

source

• Direct Plagiarism
  Direct plagiarism is the word-for-word transcription of a section of someone else’s work, without attribution and without quotation marks.

• Self Plagiarism
  Self-plagiarism occurs when a student submits his or her own previous work, or mixes parts of previous works, without permission from all professors involved.

• Mosaic Plagiarism
  Mosaic Plagiarism occurs when a student borrows phrases from a source without using quotation marks, or finds synonyms for the author’s language while keeping to the same general structure and meaning of the original. Sometimes called “patch writing,” this kind of paraphrasing, whether intentional or not, is academically dishonest and punishable – even if you footnote your source!

• Accidental Plagiarism
  Accidental plagiarism occurs when a person neglects to cite their sources, or misquotes their sources, or unintentionally paraphrases a source by using similar words, groups of words, and/or sentence structure without attribution.

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM

---

source

source
Follow these four steps to ensure your paper is free from plagiarism:

• Keep track of the sources you consult in your research.
• Paraphrase or quote from your sources (and add your own ideas).
• Credit the original author in an in-text citation and reference list.
• Use a plagiarism checker before you submit.

CONCLUSION

---

Following the completion of a series of guides on the Steemit platform. I am familiar with steemit etiquette and how to go about the do's and don'ts in order to avoid creating a mistake in my essay, which would most likely be due to plagiarized work or a lack of reference by failing to give credit to the original author. On steemit, content originality is essential; anything less is considered "plagiarism," a waste of intellectual talent.

I appreciate you @kingreechy for you satisfactory ceaseless guidance here, thank you.

Thank you for your time and reading my work.
