I believe most newbies are alright, the wrongs they can do are some things that should be common sense such as no plagiarism or spinning articles. The issue becomes a lot stronger if you're someone who has been earning consistently over a long period of time and then start to repost, re-use images on posts that are about the images, generate lazy posts such as "guess how much this apple costs here" while still claiming those autovotes you're on or vote-trades, etc. Many seem to think that once you become "popular" enough and get a lot of autovotes, same as the way I get them for instance, that it means you can now do what you want and that you're untouchable. It would be similar for instance if I just made very short posts asking random questions, barely replying to my audience and accepting all post rewards (i.e. not forfeiting most of them or part like I usually do if I want to post something I know won't require a lot of effort from my side). This was one of the examples of a user that recently got caught doing, started getting downvotes and instead of apologizing and trying harder he went on the offensive calling others names, making up ridiculous stories and now just spamming that everyone should leave hive and join another shit network cause he burned his bridge here forever.
If you're a normal person you're most likely going to be okay even if you do a mistake eventually. :P
Oh wasnt aware of this thank you for explaining. Think I found the account. Always wondering how quick someone can turn old so called friends into enemies and vasting time and energy just to keep being right.
"If you're a normal person you're most likely going to be okay even if you do a mistake eventually. :P" - Agree 100% 😊
