RE: WHY ARE EDIBLES STRONGER THAN SMOKING?
@blocktrades I totally appreciate what you are doing here, but look at his post history, the last 4 articles were plagiarized.

Haven't bothered to check the post edit history, but by the time I got here it cited a source, which is not plagiarism. Upvoted.
Thanks! I did put the source but they're still put flag on my post for no reason.. I really don't know why they are hating on me like that, I did all they asked. But thanks man, I appreciate it a lot!
Well, looking at your posting history, you have established a pretty bad reputation for plagiarizing content. Always post sources you're quoting from, and preferably provide some original writeup of your own in addition to the link to the source article, even if it's just a summary of the article or highlighting a point you found particularly salient. Copy-pasting the full source text is lazy and kind of a jerk move.
I'm also not sure why this is posted in money. That may be garnering you some downvotes too.
I am pretty new to Steemit so I didn't know all the rules. I sincerely just put articles that interested me. But now I understand clearly the rules and I'll make sure to put sources and comments of my own or intro on each post from now on. Thanks a lot for your help!
Learning from experience and doing better in the future is all we ask. Welcome to the blockchain! :)
@modprobe Thank you! I'm glad to be here :)
Thank you, look forward to reading some of your posts.
Thanks a lot!
I'm not sure @modprobe was clear on this but you need to include short quotes from the article. Do not copy and paste the entire article even if you add your own comments because that hurts Steemit.com search ranking and it is also copyright infringment.
Alright now I get the all point. Thank you for helping me, both of you. I'll make sure to apply all of this to my future posts on Steemit so it doesn't damage anything or anyone. Have a nice day
I'm just trying to share some great informations with everybody. I hope they'll let me do what I do and I'll make sure this is good contents for you.
It wouldn't be fair for you to get rewarded for plagiarism with everybody else being punished.
Copy pasting is not a good way in sharing information. You dont even quote your source!
It would be much better if you made up some thoughts about this, and not just copy paste!
@kevbonneau sharing great info didn't hurt anyone but you could give some credits for your sources (hightimes in this case) or at least have a disclaimer on your posts, something like: I have read a great article here and i was thinking to share it with the community.
Posting other writer's article as being yours it's called plagiarism.
Edit: I am sorry, you have my flag too.
Ok so what you are saying is that if I put the source of my information, you will all take your flag out my post?
As everybody has said now, its just not as easy as putting the sourcelink in the bottom. It would be nice with a disclaimer, some comments and toughts. Not just copy paste the whole thing and putting the link in the bottom
Alright! Get it, I'll improve myself
