Copying/Pasting full texts without adding anything original is frowned upon by the community.
These are some tips on how to share content and add value:
- Using a few sentences from your source in “quotes.” Use HTML tags or markdown ">" before the quote.
- Linking to your sources.
- Include your own original thoughts and ideas on what you have shared.
- The quotes should not cover more than 50% of the whole post. At least 50% of the content should be original.
Repeated copy/paste posts could be considered spam. Spam is discouraged by the community, and may result in action from the cheetah bot.
If you are actually the original author, please do reply to let us know!
Thank You!

@steemcleaners I added text. Slamming others posts in the manner that you have is always frowned upon in every social media platform by the way.
I linked the source. Follow the link. Read.
I did include my own thought on the first paragraph, and a later expanded edit. You realize that people can edit posts to expand them and that we all don't have time to obey absurd dictates such as you listed.
I quoted the first part of the article that makes the introduction to the topic in the proper manner of quoting text, using two double "" characters surrounding the quoted text followed by the linked reference. Damn, please learn to read. I don't know who you are but damn, you're bossy. Learn to post summaries of articles, far better than putting just a link as many do.
It's not spam, it's a interesting article. I didn't have anything to add yet other that it was of interest at the time I posted it. That isn't a crime in any universe. Damn. Stop being judgemental of others, that is what is wrong with the internet steemcleaners. Stop telling others what to do or how to do it. Haven't you ever hear of freedom?
Abuse? Absurd. I've posted summaries to linked articles for twenty years on dozens of social media platforms. I don't see what is wrong with that. If you don't want to upvote the article then don't, but damn, you're ultra judgemental of a new user here just getting started. Put your judgements away and stop being post police. Damn.
Who are you any way? Hiding behind a fake name "steemcleaners", who hides behind a fake name like that and harshes out on people? Damn.
Are you working for steemit? employed by them? If so you've got really bad rules and have failed to identify yourself which is a major failure. If not then please leave me alone and stop trolling me with your harsh anti-freedom rules, thanks.
If you value freedom don't tell people what do to or how to do it unless they ask. Thanks. I don't recall asking you.
I really don't know why busybodies bother people like @steemcleaners is doing, it's really anti-social what he's doing and his mannerisms are trollish and authoritarian in the extreme, bordering on fascist in fact.
I'm glad you have post rules for yourself, good for you. I'll post and edit my own posts according to my own editorial style, and I'll post summary posts to inform people of interesting posts.
It's noteworthy that an expensive house in Vancouver is being sold with the optional acceptance of BitCoins.
I do not appreciate your authoritarian anti-freedom tone, it's anti-social, it's anti-freedom, it's anti-person, it's anti-success oriented, it's an attempt to control people and that stinks of cult like behavior.
If you have suggestions then please restate your comments as suggestions not as commands.
Also who the heck are you? Please identify yourself with your real name. Hiding behind a fake name isn't being honest at all. It stinks of a scammer or a hacker or a control artist, a con man. Use your real name. Thanks. Who are you?
As for those who want to dictate how I post and comment on interesting articles, how about you focus on your own articles and leave others alone, thanks very much... don't be such a busy body, thanks again. I'm open to suggestions, I'm not open to commands and dictates from those who fail to identify themselves and hide behind fake names.
Oh and I consider your post comment to be uninvited near spam due to it's authoritarian tone attempting to boss me around. Shame on you who ever you are.
