Copying/Pasting full texts without adding anything original is frowned upon by the community.
Some tips to share content and add value:
- Using a few sentences from your source in “quotes.” Use HTML tags or Markdown.
- Linking to your source
- Include your own original thoughts and ideas on what you have shared.
Repeated copy/paste posts could be considered spam. Spam is discouraged by the community, and may result in action from the cheetah bot.

When I signed up at Steemit, I didn't see any rules like these! If they are the official rules of Steemit, please post them at the front page, and list them in detail, such as how many words minimum are required for each post, etc.
Is there any website that allows people to share important things without being censored? I seriously want to know.
On Steemit's FAQ, it says:
"Steemit users can upload anything they want, whether it be phrases, quotes, anecdotes, photos, videos, memes, songs..."

Apparently it's not the case, so why don't the managers of Steemit make up your mind first before you accuse others of wrongdoing?
If people are being censored here more than they do at Facebook, how is this website going to grow? For money? Hell no. The fact is, vast majority of people can't make any meaningful amount of money here at Steemit, or they simply don't care about making money (such as me)!
