So let me get this straight, you knew ghostwriting without sourcing is not allowed.. Yet you did it anyways, and then complained about downvotes when your rewards were removed.
Sorry bud thats not getting bullied, that is just the community saying no to your stubbornness.
NO, When I posed, I did not even consider that ghostwriting was a frowned-upon act. Why should I think otherwise? It's a content method that many web pages, publications, and law firms around the world do every day. So why on hive would that be any different?
The writer is paid and consents, so why would I think that so long as it is original, there would be any issue with it?
I am not a major publishing house, I am one guy posting content and enjoying life. Not an ethics major on publication laws and ethics. I fear for new HIVE users with so many unsaid laws.
Do I do it now, no? (believe me or not, that's your call)
Do I think that it's not wrong and that a larger debate should be talked about more, Yes, yes I do, and it underlines a lot of issues many HIVE residents experience every day.
Hive needs to establish an official TOS that outlines community-voted standards and guidelines that we all can reference when if question. Not just different people's options passing judgments on standard particles and accepted content methods on whims.
Speaking of that, a case in point.
I also just discovered that according to HIVEwatches, that if you buy and own other HIVE names with the intent of selling them later on, this is scamming people and is also a crime... did you know that? I sure did not... This is what unstoppabledomains.com is all about, buying and speculating on future crypto names... but, WOW, Suprise, we are not allowed to do that here? How come? So I am now a scammer cause I intended to do this too. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
If the community disagrees with your practices, then you should consider it.. By the writing of your Hive bullying post you seem not to care.. and just want to shift the blame.
Nice! YES!
Great, as I mentioned above, where is the vote that was taken on this and other topics? How do I know what other rules I may break without realizing them?
HIVE is a network of unsaid rules and thoughts. There is not one place to point to on the guide on what is a model HIVE person, or is their? If So, please point me to that doc, I would love to read it.
You missed the point, I was downvoted again, not for my content, but as a relation to my stance on ghostwriting (something I don't do), but cause I expressed frustration that there are no written rules about any of this, so why is it fair to punish people over laws that are not listed any place.
That is not shifting blame, but taking a stance against being downvoted over a disagreement on, why anyone should be downvoted based on unsaid laws.
And look, it worked, people are looking at this post and I hope it gets them thinking.
