Thanks for posting this. This will really help this type of content stand out!
Thanks! I have tagged a few of my posts :)
UPDATE:
Great idea, I'm in... too many posts copied and pasted from news/youtube in the new section. Thanks for posting, I've submitted one to test it out.
Well, you could risk DMCA reports for doing that and steemit will provide your info in that case, so it's not a smart thing to do....
Remember:
Content theft and identity theft are against the steemit rules and can be punished by law.
So don't copy/paste some other pages content to steemit your hurting both yourself and the community.
I can confirm I have made my own content and posted to #originals
Great!
And how is this gonna stop the copy/pasta that's going around ? Who stops anyone from adding that tag to a copy/paste content?
Down Voting, 1 down vote can hide a comment
Imagine what 5 people down voting a post in the New section could do, It would disappear and go to the bottom immediately. It's up to us, the members to keep our community safe and regulated.
Makes sense...unless a whale gets to see it first. Sure he can take his vote back, but still.
Well that's where the power of the mass comes in, 1 of us stating that the post is content theft, pretending to be someone else, providing the link to the original post found online, won't get noticed by the whale, but when a whale sees that 5+ people mentioned him on that post and stated something was wrong, he will look into it and revise he's vote. Not to mention us "originals" building up a reputation as Original Content creators so whales will know that when we flag something, we flagged it for a valid reason!
Hope everything will work great!
As a designer and creative I support this idea 100%
Keep up the good work!
