hi @xlncad, I see cheetah came to visit. If you are duplicating content, you need to add proper citations and links to the original publication. You should also state that if it is your own or someone else content.
As the steem rewards pool is limited, we have some 'protections' to try to ensure the rewards pool is given to content that adds value to the blockchain. Duplicate content tends not to be seen as value-adding. The message from Cheetah is to allow curators to asses the value it brings to the blockchain when giving or removing rewards by upvotes/downvotes.
Does that make sense?
maybe @cheetah would like to step in here and give more advice?
hi @paulag, it is my own answer/article.
From your reply, I understand that the already published Article/Answer should be shared along with links.
Yes, if the content was not published first to the steem blockchain you need to share details within the post. And don't be surprised if these type of posts are not rewarded via the general steem blockchain.
I have still to define and layout some sort of rewards structure within the community that will be a separate thing to the general steem rewards. however, a factor in this will be how much value something adds to the community in general.
You are really active on quora. where do you find all the time?
Thank you. That explains a lot.
Frankly speaking, I see Quora as a notepad for my future articles. If you have gone through my answers you may have noticed that most of them are all comprehensive.
At the same Quora serves as an idea bank for my YouTube videos.
