RE: Taking the money and running
Sorry this happened Jerry. I know Steemit is strict on plagiarism and not sourcing other’s work.

I DID SOURCE IT!!!
I POSTED LINKS TO THE ORIGIN
I POSTED LINKS TO THE AUTHOR
The only thing I DIDN'T do was say some namby pamby crap about how it made me feel or why I liked it or what philosophical bullshit it meant to the world at large.
I just wanted to share beauty
It seems you have been unjustly reprimanded then. I didn’t see your post.
I thought as long as an article/poem/photo/etc was sourced that was enough.
This is the post

Jerry, I think you are getting your knickers in a knot over something that is only a warning. Now you know and I know the rules-just now read the rule on sourcing about also adding something to the post from your own thoughts.
15 months I've been here. I had run ins with both steemcleaner and Cheetahbot in the first three months.
I learned about citing proper attribution,
I learned about putting in links to the author
I learned about and HOW to do these things and I have been
SCRUPULOUS about doing those things for the last year.
This crap about adding FIFTY PERCENT of original text?
so I am supposed to post a 17 line poem, and write at least
18 lines of my own blah blah feelings about how it made me
Feel, why I thought it was beautiful (THAT is self evident; the POEM
IS BEAUTIFUL)
It is a MINDLESS regulation, it is stupidly onerous and I'm sick of
Legalism. I am sick of control freaks. I WILL NOT BOW DOWN TO
A POINTLESS CONTROL FREAK REGULATION just for the sake of
Conformity.
