RE: Time to Introduce and Verify Myself to Steemit

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hi @shadowblade! Welcome to Steemit and the homesteading community on Steemit! We're a vast bunch and love seeing new faces!

It looks like you're off to a bit of a rough start here on Steemit. But you can still make a turn around on this! The Steemit community really looks down on copy/pasted content as the real goal is original works. I totally understand wanting to share new ideas that you think are cool! However, the best way to do that is use information as inspiration, and not to ever copy and paste a whole article. Think of it as writing an essay for school where you can use quotes with attribution, but need to make the rest of it in your own words, and always always site your sources. This includes all images that are not your own. Yup, even the free for use images. It takes but a second to link the image source at the end of your article or directly under the image itself. These are all necessary things to do when wanting to make it "big" on Steemit.

I look forward to your original content in the future! Good luck, and I really hope you take my advice!

Have a great day!

PS. It may really be useful to you to remove your borrowed works (you cannot delete the post as a whole but you can delete the content from posts that are not yet 7 days old). After removal, you'll want to apologize to the people who flagged you, so that they can remove their flag if they believe you when you say you'll no longer be copy/pasting other people's work.
