I will try to be constructive about this, if you take offense to it please talk to me about it rather than taking some kind of "retribution".
Steem has the potential to be a creative community filled with a variety of original content that brings value to many different audiences. Even the NSFW tag has it's place in this community.
Recently there has been a flood of shitposts. What is a "shitpost"? Well I made light of it here https://steemit.com/steemingshit/@timeshiftarts/this-is-a-shitpost
While it's kinda cool to share "selfies" and such that you found on the internet, the fact is you are not the creator or owner of the content. You found it on the internet. If the content did not say that it was in the public domain, or you were not specifically given permission to post it, then you should not post it.
"Why the fuck does it matter?" You might ask ...
I talked a little about that here;

"Ok, but these aren't pro's or sites that earn money ... it's just copypasta porn!" You say ...
Well, yes and no.
The girl likely shared the photo on her own social media, or PRIVATELY with people she thought she could trust. It's HER photo! If you didn't ask her to post it or pay her for the image, you have no right to it.
If I had a picture of your dick and shared it to make myself a little money would you be cool with that?
"What the fuck man? I'm just trying to make some money!" You say ...
Fuckin' bitchin' dude! Make that money! Talk to some cam girls, get an affiliate account with MET-ART and share that shit, work out a gig with photographers, post original shit that you have permission to post and get you some.
Yeah, the "power users" don't always try to help when they see abuse, they see so much of it that posting suggestions for improvement gets tiresome. I'm sorry that upsets you, but let's not take it out on whole fucking groups of people that are just trying to make Steemit a good thing, yeah?
This happens in other areas too, not just not for work material. However these photos are more sensitive, I'm sure the community would appreciate you to continue with your passion, just try to be respectful of others and their bodies of work. I'm sure you don't have the best taste out there, if it can't be cited I'm sure there is another out there just as "perfect" if not better which could be sourced.
Thanks for steeming
My biggest issue was that the user that downvoted me, steemcleaners, referenced some random Tumblr blog as the "source" of the content.
Totally false, hypocritical bullshit.
Besides that, steemcleaners, the camwhore or anyone else, can simply mute or not vote.
I was new to steem, saw what was already being posted in nsfw, which is much more spammy than what I was posting, and decided to try it for myself. camwhore demands that I reference some sort of source, I could have just created a Tumblr blog, uploaded the same pictures, and referenced that as the source. I wasn't going to do that so I gave her my explanation.
That wasn't good enough for her, she decided to down vote me and report me to steemcleaners.
Now she and other peoples that followed her are pissed that they are getting the same treatment. They are hypocrites and I'm looking forward to bringing my own following here to level the playing field.
It's quite obvious to Mr, that the camwhore was jealous / pissed that she's not the only one getting votes in the nsfw tag. And doesn't want to see pictures of girls with beautiful breasts, when she's trying to solicit / spam her pancake tits here herself.
I've seen pepper's posts. I've seen her support other cam-models and even NSFW posts that repost from professional cam sites and clearly cite sources so I don't see her as someone who wants to be "the only one getting votes in the nsfw tag".
I have spent a lot of the past few days commenting on SPAM, copyright violations, reposts, copypasta, and general shitposts. I am so fucking oldfag anon that I was a member of Chameleon BBS in the fucking 80's which was before 'moot' was born... if anyone knows shitposts and copypasta it's me.
I have flagged a few things, and even leveraged the abuse reporting at @steemcleaners for a few things. Mostly I try to help users to figure out the best way to earn money by adding value to Steemit.
I get it. You're pissed that you got nuked. You didn't get nuked for posting copypasta (maybe a few of your posts did). You got account nuked for acting like an ass. @berniesanders was a pretty damn influential ass and he got nuked for being an ass too ... I actually supported his asshatery. Name calling, "revenge" flagging, and trolling are not helping anyone. You have a lot invested in Steemit, in fact you have a few grand that you can't get out of the system for TWO YEARS. Do you want to see this place turn into /b/ and have major world governments turn Steem into a completely valueless currency because the "free anonymous blockchain" becomes a part of the "darknet" that world governments actively work to destroy? Or would you rather see it become an active community of people who share original ideas and creativity while supporting each other's financial goals?
It really is your choice.
I don't troll. I don't play "power games". I tend to tell it like it is.
And speaking myself, as the guy who co-sysoped the biggest and first BBS in Washington DC Capital Connection, who first dialed a 300 baud modem into various little BBSes in 1983, you nailed this.
Even if you just linked to the tumbler page or pinterest account or whatever you copied from, it would demonstrate a token effort at being an honest blogger.
Instead your every action after being confronted proves you to be petulant, immature, antisocial, belligerent, irrational, and misogynistic in the extreme.
It's still not to late to turn over a new leaf, though. You can choose to take the high road and start over, abandoning this pettiness you have exhibited thus far. You'll be a better person for it.
