@bustillo Thank you for reaching out and lending support my friend.
I do think plagiarism is bad, we should not encourage it, but as a community, do we sever the heads of anyone who messes up? How does this type of responce help anyone? No, it forces new members to leave and pushes others away. Ok, 30-day suspension or something, fair, but then to be blacklisted for life? Even if you do a lot of help to the community and want to see it grow. 3 Years on Hive, fresh articles almost every dam day.. but I am still nothing... no, this response delt is wrong.
I have a lot of mixed feelings about Hive right now, part of me wants to pull out and see it burn, but then I believe in it. Just, I do have not the power or time to fight this fight.
!Pizza and !lUV
Keep posting @bustillo :D
The negative vote is used against plagiarism, it may have its logic, but as you say @jacuzzi, they would have to apply a more flexible and decentralised system, especially that these mechanisms or oracles are not controlled by certain whales of the community. The negative vote is also used against microblogging and other alternative ways of publishing on Hive, but they do NOT apply it to content generated in an automated way by certain sacred whales of the Hive community.
Regards @jacuzzi and see you around as long as they let us ;-)
