RE: Ghanaian referee collapses during Ivory Coast vs Ethiopia
Many more users are now posting plagiarism on Steemit in the most confidential way. Many plagiarism posts have increased compared to the past. Many are being caught, and some are not. In this way, the actual users are being hindered from their proper evaluation. I saw the Steemit analysis of 2016, then if any post was made, they would immediately comment on the same content link from the @cheetah account. Due to which everyone would post with caution.
And all the posts that were plagiarism were lowered user reputation from @steemcleaner account. Due to which everyone refrained from posting plagiarism. I have been able to know as much as by doing Steemit Analysis of the past.
But I don't know why they have been released. This is the decision of the entire Steemit Team. But I think bots like @cheetah and @steemcleaner need to be brought back. Because now a lot more plagiarism is being posted.
You will be even more surprised to see that a new user has started posting plagiarism after entering Steemit. I am giving a screenshots of @steemcurator03.
The Steemit Team must look at the matter to see if a robot can be hired to sort out the plagiarism posts.

I'm finding things rather demoralising and am also finding posters who have been at it for years. Some are applying for delegations in order to boost their accounts which is going to make my job harder. If we all work together, particularly community admins, I firmly believe we can beat it. Some just require educating, others are doing it repeatedly without remorse.
But I do think that if a community admin continues to ignore plagiarism, their community should be closed (I mean repeated ignorance - World of Football and World of Cricket get an unfair level of plagiarism which they're trying to fight. fur-friends couldn't give a ****).
The problem is predominantly newer accounts, many tagging their friends who introduced them who are also plagiarists.
I've decided that fighting the plagiarism is worth whatever risk there is to my account and reputation in the hope that if I do get smashed - then sttemcurator01 and steemchiller who have been very supportive can rectify things. If they can't, then I guess at some point, I'm f******
@around-theworld - I've been tracking a number of plagiarists since joining and have been sharing my findings in the hope and expectation that action is taken (especially hopeful that the action is rehabilitation). My latest update is here - https://steemit.com/plagiarism/@the-gorilla/6u8ovr-steemit-plagiarism-premier-league
Would you be happy to tag me when you identify plagiarism and I'll add them to the list and continue to track them? I know I'm a relative newbie still and I'm pleased with the traction that my efforts have achieved so far but as you say, it's a significant problem that has consequences for genuine authors like myself.
