RE: Facebook A.I. Robots Shut Down After Creating Their Own Language!
This post was Copy-Pasted from the link at the bottom with no disclaimer that it is. Therefore I will not be accepting the Resteem Payment you sent and I will be reporting this post to SteemCleaners.
Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to respond here :)
I simply took the description that was on Youtube.. and posted this video because i thought i was interesting.
I have worked hard and spent alot of time and money to promote steemit..
As i wrote in another post.. vigilante justice can be a problem.
After ONE post where i copied some information in good faith.. you are running off to the steemit police to dob me in..
What would happen if everyone does this?
Will i be banned, instantly.. and without a chance to defend myself?
All my hard work gone.. in an instant.. for copying some text.. which i thought would be ok to copy in the first place? Someone else here on steemit obviously posted the same thing too.. how am i supposed to know?
Is there a way i can check if other people have posted something similar to me?
I can see steemit becoming a very scary place if people are running around reporting on each other.
Hopefully a downvote button will be added in the future.. and the community can decide if content is bad or not.. not a handful of vigilantes.
Copy Pasting is lazy, theft and not tolerated on Steemit. You can "cite" portions of an article if you put it in Quotations or do it like below:
Then link to the original source like this:
Source
Well i linked to the original article that was found on Youtube.. of course.
Or are you saying.. i should search steemit every time i copy some text.. and make sure no one else has used it?
BTW i totally get copying someone elses steemit post.. of course that can't be tolerated.
But i went to Youtube.. and copied the text that was given there.. along with the link to the full article.
How am i supposed to know someone else on steemit already posted this..
You are missing the point.....you COPY PASTED FROM YOUTUBE and DIDN'T put the COPY PASTED stuff in QUOTES or BLOCKQUOTES nor did you put any disclaimer or SOURCE that specifies you copy pasted.....that is the problem.....even then it is frowned upon if you do not write your own material to go with what you copy paste.
Sure i see what your saying.. so if i copy some text from another site.. i should use quotes and say i have sourced it from X website.
I will do this, along with trying to focus on writing my own content only.
Thanks for your advice.. its much appreciated :)
