RE: Stolen pictures, a major Steemit issue
Thank you viking-ventures. I reported @mycolorfulworld for stealing blog posts from my friend and food blogger cooking with manuela. It was appalling... @mycolorfulworld stole so many posts it took me 4-hours to flag them all and site the original source. I had to stop but willing to bet they are still at it. Was terribly upsetting to see this happen.
Now I ask @originalworks to site all of my entries @juliank's photo contests and all of my other posts as well. We have to help each other out when we see plagiarism. The @ steemcleaners did recognize the work that I did but its got to have consequences to those who are stealing others work!
Your post is appreciated!
Thanks for your reply.
How do you report the stolen posts? I know how to flag things, but don't know what more I can do.
One question I still have for those who have been around longer than I...
If I repost my own work (as I plan to do when I've been around a bit longer and have a stronger following), will that still be considered "originalworks" by their bot?
Fortunately, most of my original photos are also posted on my online stores, so it's relatively easy to prove that I'm the same person and only posting my own work.
Thanks again.
I reported it to @steemcleaners. Here is the abuse guide: https://steemit.com/steemcleaners/@steemcleaners/abuse-guide-2017-update#@fingolfin/re-realworldeats-re-steemcleaners-abuse-guide-2017-update-20171221t175750967z
And also there is a form that you fill out here:
Problem is that the form didn't work when I tried it and that only fueled the fire.
Not much good when their guide doesn't work. :(
I saw one earlier, high ranking too (like 57), blatantly sharing something published by another company. Beautiful picture, to be sure, but not theirs to profit from.
Thanks anyway.
