RE: Louisville Metro Police Department Sex Abuse Scandal in Youth Program...4th Officer Has Been Named

Oh Dear.


"Why is called "plargiarism"? Just because there was a copy and paste from another source?

We have been accused of the same thing, yet what we copy and paste is copyrighted by us, and is therefore not "plargiarism""


You run a blog with it's own website and you do not understand that straight copy and paste is considered plagiarism. Let alone how spell check works.
There is a way around this so the cheetah does not pick on you. You can take a screenshot of your outside source and post it with the statement that it is from an outside source and state the source. Understand that these steps need to be taken to ensure that people are not getting rewards for simply copying other people's blogs. And yes even though you are the author at this outside source cheetah does not make special consideration. It is designed to search out the web for copy and paste and let the readers of this blog know that it is out there. If you try to simply copy and paste you loose credibility here. With being new you really do not want to do that.


I sure hope this information helps you understand that Steemit is different and wants new content not copy paste. How would you feel if you were not the author and you found your content on here posted by someone else and they were getting rewards for your work? This is the reason for cheetah. And to answer your question cheetah does not give you rewards it is a bot and only leaves a comment on your work. There is another bot that will pick you up if you show a pattern of plagiarism. And if you get pick up by that one you will have a very hard time getting past it and your work will be hidden. So please reconsider the way you post your work.

"Steemit is different and wants new content"

According to whom? You are personifying "Steemit" here. Are you referring to the creators of Steemit? Is this official policy somewhere?

"So please reconsider the way you post your work."

Since we have joined Steemit, members of the FP group have continually criticized us and told what we should and should not do. It was our understanding that blockchain technology was peer to peer, and not tyrannical.

Our purpose is very clear: bringing exposure to this horrible topic (and others). We are not here for monetary awards. And if cross-posting content and getting it on the blockchain accomplishes that purpose, why do we continue to be attacked by your group? Is this really worth our time?

To be constantly told what we should or should not be doing is very tiresome. We are not a large well-funded media organization, and we have a certain way of publishing our content.

To significantly change that would require time and resources on our end, and we have not yet made the decision to do so here on Steemit. We are still evaluating it.

please read what Cheetah is all about. https://steemit.com/steemit/@cheetah/faq-about-cheetah
Pay attention to this statement "In general, on Steemit, original content is more well received compared to reposts. And reposters that attempt to trick the readers into believing they are providing fresh content, can ruin their reputation forever."
So as there is no official rule that Steemit wants new content, many of the time readers do not like to see a straight copy and paste. They would rather see a link and added content explaining the link. take some time and read some of the posts of older and more successful bloggers here on Steemit and see how they do their blogs. I would say take a look at some of the posts that FP does but you seem to not want anything to do with them. And that is fine and your choice. Many of the members truly care about helping others and putting an end to CPS.
There are others that you should be aware of that will make it their mission to destroy your account if they feel it is nothing more than a copy and paste. There is a group of "whales" that if they get on your case it is very hard to recover from. FP had recently dealt with just 1 of these guys and it took the group to plea to this guy to stop. His downvote wiped out all of FP upvotes.
Than you have SteemCleaners, this is a group of people that spend their time finding and flagging copy and paste work. The difference between them and Cheetah is they are not a bot. And depending on who you actually get to talk to will depend on if they allow you to continue to post this type of content. If you get on their radar you will most likely loose all your reputation and your posts will be hidden.
I am telling you this simply because I do not want to see your account go into dust before it has even had a chance to thrive here. And honestly I feel that HIN and FP have the same goals that if you join together you both can be stronger. Rather than use the time and energy trying to tear each other down.
But that choice is solely up to you.
I want to thank you for taking the time and reading my comment. I mean you only good things and wish you the best in your account here on Steemit and your other website. CPS is a BEAST and we are stronger together.
