I'm a very new newb, as fresh as they come, and this is very useful advice!
The last thing I'd want to do is to rile up the community with something that I'm unaware of...
On that note, regarding plagiarism - is posting links to articles and youtube videos (with my own comments and reasons for posting of course) frowned upon? In addition to my own stuff, I like to share and point out things I find interesting, I'm used to it from other social networks.. So what's your, and the communitys, view on that?
Hello, I am not really sure of what you mean 100% but I can say that you are free to post your own links in any article written by you. This is no violation of any rules. As for posting unsolicited links on other people's posts, that is spamming. However, there are exceptions to every rule. I trust this response is helpful. Regards.
As long as you cite your source on the video and explain that you're using to support what you are saying that is not plagiarism. It's more the blatant plagiarism that get people in an uproar. Anyone can go to any webpage copy and paste everything on the page and put in a post and try to pass it off as their own. There is a bot #cheetah that tries catch things such as that. However that is where we as a community need to do our due diligence and not simply upvote blindly. If you haven't yet read the Whitepaper in the right menu it will give you some help in that area.
