Oh no, you got stung! That really sucks, I feel for you man. I don't think you should have to apologise really, especially since there's no way you could have known. It's not like this place comes with a clear instruction manual
But there's a huge problem with plagiarism that isn't really that visible, mostly because of the work that Hivewatchers do...
The proper protocol in this situation, as I found out, is to decline payouts on any translations and only claim rewards on one language-version of a post. Or to put both/all of your translations into a single post. You might already know this by now
It's really unfair, but until someone thinks of a better way, I'm told that's how it has to be
I wish I knew how to fix it. I only speak English so I haven't experienced what it's like. I can imagine how demoralising it would be to be downvoted after putting in the effort to manually translate your content so it can reach a wider audience. Did the downvoters explain their reasons?
I guess the blame ultimately sits on the minority of people that abuse the network. Like every sphere of existence, they ruin it for the rest of us
Damn humans gonna human
Anyway, maybe this will cheer you up. Or at least make for a distraction
You'll either hate it or love it 😈
Under my original content posts? No, they just simply downvoted them. But yes on the translated articles. And I deserved those, because those posts were mistakes from my side, even if I did not know it.
I do not blame others for my own mistakes, but people should have been really told this (the fact that translating articles is plagiarism) to me earlier, not just/only now.
I am doing this for a long time.
The only thing is cheering me up is the fact that I admitted my mistakes, I apologized for them, and I promised not to do them again.
Okay, I see now. I misunderstood. We all make mistakes though, it's what makes us human
I think it will be okay in time. It takes character to admit when you're wrong and accept responsibility, but doing so shows more integrity than a person who acts like they never do anything wrong

Guess you didn't listen to the music?
Now I gave it a quick listening to this album. I like the violin, but the most of the titles of the tracks of the album are melancholic and/or sad. The music itself does not give me that mood. It rather gives me a calm and relaxed, or even inspired mood. Good music. Thank you.
Oh cool. Yeah, I don't know what the titles mean
Inspired I agree with. Calm and relaxed... Venetian Snares?! Not so sure. Glad you enjoyed it though
Peace!
