Hi @patrice, I am very grateful to you for this report. I haven’t much time to curate this week so my 100% vote is pretty powerful. I will take a little time to look at some of the news bots you mentioned and vote rhem down. I hate news bots. If I want news Incan go to qwant and get it.
@patrice this is my post, how can I steal my photos. I do not have anything to explain to you, open my account immediately
13 hours later and she has not replaced your stolen esteem. I checked your photos and, my god!, I cannot believe it! you have photos of yourself and she blocks your post for that?!!!
She admits herself that she does not have the time to handle everything plus her own work, so I guess you must pay for her just skimming through and making her decision.
Do you know why she has the right to do this? Because, so we are told, this is a free market. It is a free market for those who want to abuse it, not for us the smaller value members.
I hope you continue to fight back. I also wish I knew there is a Witness willing to help, but they are too busy doing whatever it is they are doing to help minnows like us.
The problem is, even if I resteem your post, it will still be banned and blocked for those wanting to see it, so there is not much I can do to help you. I know because I tried to help another poster who patrice had banned for untrue reasons, without success.
As you know, the big fish eat the small fish. It is the nature of how things work here - or that is the impression they are creating.
patrice - I have spent a couple of hours trying to check the post in question and the one she is accused of plagiarising.
I could edit or delete my above comment, but that would be the cowards way.
I could not view all the pictures as I keep getting the message that a script is running (happens very often to me when opening Steemit pages), but I found she did copy text (I think it was just one large paragraph).
This means I owe you an apology for my comments and my attack on you - and :
I wholeheartedly apologise.
I saw photos of her, which resembled her avatar, so I thought you had not looked properly, whereas it was I who did not.
Thank you for the apology.
I honestly looked at her account when she commented to see if she verified that she is the Armenian singer Lilit as she claims to be.
She actually changed her name in the post here but not the title. You can see the original here: https://phist.steemdata.com/history?identifier=https%3A%2F%2Fsteemit.com%2Fintroduceyourself%2F%40beautiful-barbie%2Fdear-steemit-friends-my-name-is-lilit-i-m-armenian-girl-i-m-love-travels-becouse-my-hobby-is-travel-i-m-will-be-every-day
The person in the pictures on the post she was accused of plagiarizing are also of the singer Lilit Hovhannisyan. The others belong to @sweetsssj

I consider identity deception or theft serious abuse. Claiming to be a
If you are talking about @haryormidei I didn't ban him. He was the victim of someone maliciously downvoting at random. Unfortunately I don't have the voting power to counteract someone with that much voting power. I really wish I could have helped. There were quite a few accounts downvoted by triplej and I couldn't do much.
While I am extremely busy, I am never too busy to investigate before I ban someone. If someone has been banned they can appeal in #steemitabuse-appeals or on Discord.
Thank you for answering me.
I'm also glad you did, for I was under the impression that the only way to appeal is by chat, whereas I cannot use chat -I do oher things on the web where I have to be careful, so I do not allow Flash or java script, so I thought, if somehow I get in trouble, I will not be able to speak for myself.
I am glad we cleared the air - especially as I have a weak spot for artists and felt it could not be that someone who is sensitive enough to be creative could be careless of the lives of the young.
I have told her I'll be there to encourage her, if I see she makes the effort and only uses her own talents. Let's see (I hate being cynical, so I try not to be).
anyway thank you,dear @arthur.grafo
That is gracious of you - it earns you points in my book.
:)
I think you are capable of writing your own posts and filling them with interesting pictures and I'm going to visit you so as to give you the opportunity to prove just how talented you are.
To ensure I do, I am doing a follow.
(PS: I have lived in Greece and had some nice Armenian friends. They tempted me to visit your country, but I had a business to run and could not leave. Do you still live in your country?)
Edit: Oops, we should have our conversations in a post of yours, this is a funny place to be exchanging pleasantries. See you soon
How do you explain that the generic photos of your post, were used 3 days before by a knwon member of steemit ?
https://steemit.com/travel/@sweetsssj/travel-with-me-96-the-grand-bazaar-and-taksim-square
You seem to just have removed the pictures of her, replaced by some of you somewhere else.
Also you used the same intro text and even worse, you speak of hawayan islands and show photos of turkish streets...
Honestly do you think people is dumb ? you gotta work on better alibis or sources for spinning content.
I'll tell you how i see the recipe for your post:
Take content that pays very well, spin it and try to get money from it...
Well that travel post paid well because that lady has money and idiots vote people with money in hopes of getting a vote back from them...
Also since she has money, she is known and therefore it is easy to check and find the source of your post.
Why don't you do a series in what other means you think are good to mine steem at least it will be original content
Goodluck

Thanks for all your hard work @patrice... it's noticed and appreciated.
"Web of Trust" stood out... it was actually a "thing" on the web's very first rewards site, epinions. It was like a friends list, only on steriods. I think it would also be a cool front end feature here on Steemit... a bit like "steemverify" except incorporated directly into the UI... and harder to get; you have to be "manually vetted" by humans. Maybe even a "tiered" system that operates independently of reputation and Steem Power.
I know I'm wandering a little off topic... it just triggered me to think out loud a bit.
Thank you for your efforts @patrice.
I'd muted some of the accounts you mentioned as bots. But does muting actually help anything?
No. It just keeps you from seeing their posts & comments.
Thank you. I thought perhaps somehow the number of mutes got added into some system for determining accounts were problematic. I don't really have enough power to be much help in flagging.
what they do steemcleaners and spaminators?
@steemcleaners identifies abuse such as identity deception & plagiarism. @spaminator is an account for fighting spam. Specifically comment / post farms.
thank you
Keep on fighting for good, you are a real super-heroine Patrice! <3
here's a comment farmer who's been exploiting the system for months raking in 2000$.
