I did not say plagiarism. I did see your 'disclaimer', but some may not notice. I think it would be better to have a big banner at the top of your posts saying 'this is not totally my own work'. You say you are making the articles easier to understand, but the changes seem minimal to me. Changing the odd words looks like an attempt to avoid plagiarism detectors (a common technique). What percentage of words on the post are your own?

The stakes have been upped for Cardano and Polkadot, with the two networks continuing to dominate the staked capitalization rankings.
You
Cardano and Polkadot's stakes have been raised, and the two networks continue to lead the staked capitalisation rankings.
I expect there are tools to do that automatically. You could have written something totally fresh, but it looks like copying is involved.
You benefit from the support of some big accounts. I was not sure if they were aware of what you are doing. It is their choice to vote as they like, but I think the rewards are excessive and am using my votes to redistribute them.
absolutely fine! You can downvote me as much you think is right to do. I read the article and I modify the post using Office Word. Would you tell me that what I wrote isn't easier to understand? I have been attacked by that guy that has created even a post where he has directly attacked me. Being in England (same country as myself) I would be careful on what he is accusing or he could also be contacted by my lawyer as a comment or two make me smile... keeping doing this is harassment @nathen007 (tagged so he knows what will be my next action).
Creating a disclaimer with a header3 should be enough to inform people. I have been heavily downvoted (accept this) but also heavily attacked with no bases. Comments and even a Post where he hasn't refused the reward (if he wanted to alert people he was supposed to write a comment not a post where he is also charging HIVE for this). Evidences have been already taken... will see what will happen!
Nothing against you @steevc , you don't know me and clearly you have believed that person. Kind regards,

Well thanks for engaging in a reasonable way with me on this. Hive can be a free-for-all, but we should be aware that actions can have consequences. I've had threats from various people for doing what I think is right. My priority is trying to make Hive better. If Coin Telegraph were to join what would they think of your posts?
Live well and be well.
You are more than welcome @steevc as said I have nothing against you. I have seen you are in UK too and I hope you have a lovely weather like I have here in the northern area :)
Said so... if you read few news written by cointelegraph in some it is stated they have taken info from other sources. As you can see legally (before doing anything I have read carefully the policy) Any new published online/on paper can be used and reworded as long as you mention the source of your info. I have said it was on cointelegraph and I have mentioned the link of the author of it. Now if you want to punish me for re-wording with my words in an easy to understand phrases then ok.. feel free to do it. What I am asking you is... not having evidences (as I write down on a WORD doc after work and then publish it that is why I always write at 7pm) would you really think it is enough downvoting someone in this massive way just based on what someone else is saying? Just consider what I am saying and take you conclusion... that in any case will be accepted by me.
Answering to your question, if CT will come here, will check my posts, I don't use their photos/drafts, I entirely reword their posts, I mention the source and I provide the link of it... legally they cannot be upset about it.
I hope this will answer your query and I wish you a lovely day. I have to come back to work now :)
