The first question: should we allow the aforementioned content (copied content with sources) to be posted in the FreeCompliments Community?
In my opinion, this is the most challenging question. I've participated in lots of debates over the years about what is actually censorship and what is not. The answer to this is critical in order to gauge how censorship-resistant a platform really is.
I personally try to take the most permissive stance possible, with some caveats. If something is illegal in most of the world, it should not be permitted. (Whereas something illegal only some places could be important to encourage!) If allowing certain content would bring harm to your community, then it's a question of whether providing a forum for that content is morally important enough to make it worth the risk of harm. The answer to this might be yes, especially if the community is strong and can withstand the harm. If the community is not a position to withstand the harm, then the answer is probably no. I'm not active enough in the community to judge the answer to this.
In my business, I have to take a firmer stance, because Hive SBI is a tool more than a community, and not in a position to protect members from all potential attacks. It's better to cave on edge cases than to allow all members to be harmed by the negative attention brought by a few. That might change as we grow bigger (and less vulnerable), but we still have to be careful.
Thanks, this is a very practical way to view the situation!
We'll ultimately see what the community thinks about this one.
This is probably the most difficult of the questions to answer because what makes a good post for one person may not be a good post for another. Whenever I post, I constantly have running, in the back of my head, 'Will this add value to whoever reads it?'As such, I go to great efforts to try and produce content that is original and will be beneficial to anyone who reads it, and in my case, educate people on a condition they may not have heard of before.
In my short time on this platform, I've read numerous articles by people who clearly think the same, and I've also opened posts that are a couple of words and three or four links to external sites, and have closed them immediately. Not to say that content isn't valuable - it just doesn't interest me. There are plenty of other places I can go to click on links.
That being said, my answer to this question is a reluctant yes. I don't like the idea of people being excluded or marginalised because of what they believe and that means giving the benefit of the doubt that when someone presses that 'Publish' button, they are contributing something they deem to be of value.
Agreed, despite the fact that I am fighting for them, on a personal level I also am not fond of those types of posts that offer very little content and are unoriginal. In fact, I'm hoping that my own content is reflective of the type of quality that I would prefer to contribute to the blockchain (at a minimum!). Nevertheless, I don't believe in the suppression of any type of content.
Now, when we're giving the benefit of the doubt of a valuable contribution, I think that in the case of a monetized platform, that may be a little bit generous of a presumption. I have no doubt that a lot of people who currently post here would not be doing so if not for the monetary rewards - and that's completely understandable! It is designed to have a financial incentive.
However, the realization that outstanding original work and interaction with people is what would lead to long-term success on the platform... well, that alone should be incentive to contribute quality work. And I did hope that my reward structure would help proliferate quality work. Fortunately, we seem to have a good mixture every month! Our quality posters ultimately get nice rewards, hopefully at least in proportion to their effort.
Only short reference, like if someone else is in a Bad moment i should be abble to take 50 Words of him copy/paste and response him with 200 Words, know what i mean? Like this way some of us can make reference to old post, like me for example a year ago events i can take it back when loading this year vids ( just a example) so in that case is hard decisión or Flexible límit about cooy/paste case man.
