Wow you are the master of engagement in HIVE. What a lot of comments...
We act based on our memories. Those who come to Hive bring memories from other social networks and apply the same habits. Those who don't come with a mentor may have a hard time. Of course, when we talk about blogging. Applications like Splinterlands or NFTShowroom have simpler dynamics and fewer rules.
Those of us who have time in Hive act from our memories in Steem. There we saw how abuse destroyed good content and spam overshadowed original creations. Based on that experience, we take care of Hive, so that it does not become what it was or is, Steem.
Here we have a big difference with respect to other platforms where everything is shared and it is not considered plagiarism. Here it is monetized. In Youtube for example, if you commit plagiarism they take away the monetization and most of them don't even explain it to you. Here we also remove the monetization and I don't think we have to explain every downvote for plagiarism. It is logical that we are not going to reward material from someone who is not even on Hive.
As the saying goes: Ignorance of the rule does not exempt its compliance. It is everyone's duty to take responsibility, both for their money and their actions here. That is why you should read a lot and look for what is accepted.
It is true that the "rules" are a bit "hidden" and I agree that they should be more visible, even a notice before posting that asks you if this content is yours and if you have doubts, click on "read more".
It takes a lot of work on that, on the part of the dapps. I haven't read all the comments but I sense that this post is inspired by a true story. Regarding labels, I've always seen a lot of overreaction to this. I don't see the drama in someone being wrong. If you incise on abusing tags, with a downvote you shouldn't do it anymore, I don't see the reason to get into heated discussions.
In Hive we have a delicate ecosystem, with a reward pool that needs to be taken care of. That should be understood by the newcomers. Likewise, most of the time you can tell who is acting intentionally and premeditated. When this is not the case, you can correct and give second chances. Many of those who have worked against abuse here, for years, know how to distinguish (almost always) intentionality. Although it is true that due to so many cases, you may be a bit biased and defensive.
This post is great for raising the debate, thanks for posting it.
Note. check out the battle that Ryze Mech won 😄.

Thanks for the kind words! It still doesn't top all the comments I got on my Hive Marketing Post, but it's definitely a good amount, lol.
I agree, most people act from their memories and past experiences. As for the 'money' issue, I've addressed it heavily in various other comments, since everyone keeps bringing it up, lol.
This is a huge point, and your proposed solution is a step in the right direction, I'd say. I've programmed apps and games before, and popping up a notice to posters is such a simple coding task.
This post was inspired by many true stories, one of them was even linked by Emma, another is from @purpinay 's recent controversy on her posts, another is from @wil.metcalfe 's experiences, and on and on.
This is largely what Emma was getting at in the story. Less heat, less militancy, less draconian responses.
You make a great point here. The thing is, this is one of the most unacceptable traits to have in moderators or police. It's like having an accountant who is 'bad with numbers' or a writer who is 'bad with words.'
Thanks so much for sharing your insights here, very interesting, I'm glad you found my post good for raising debate (yours about comments was good for that too), and wishing you a great day!
P.S. Ryze Mech is crushing it, piercing through all the armor! (Though that Centauri Mage did a great job front-lining and protecting him, lol!)
P.P.S. Did you ever read Emma's Splinterlands Guide?
I did read it, it was great, although I didn't finish it hahahaha. I have a lot of half finished posts of yours, when I'm on vacation I'll complete them. Why is that? 🤣
lol, well, I'm glad you got part way through it. Haha, I guess I have to make them more of a 'page-turner' or one of those 'books-you-cant-put-down.'
LOL 🤣
Split em out into parts. keeping the reading time around 5-10 minutes, cuz you know, attention span and such.
Yeah, thanks for the suggestion. I've considered it before, and have even split many of my posts into two parts because Hive's character limit forced me to... but if I did much more then people would probably accuse of me of trying to 'milk votes' when it could've been all one article or something.
Anyway, if people can watch/pause hour-long movies, read books using bookmarks, etc., I'll trust they're grown-up enough to read my posts in their own way, on their own time.
I post a lot shorter content on twitter/Instagram though, plus Project Blank's supposed to be coming soon, so who knows, maybe I'll end up doing this anyway. 🙏
