Or do you want me to list down 200 or more other sites where the same illustration has been used???
And I am the one who doesn't care if she is your trainer or not if she is a plagiarist!
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Or perhaps she doesn't know how to use sources properly yet as she's a newbie? Did you even consider helping her before you attack her so viciously? Listen, I didn't get laid either last night but I won't take it out to poor folks (especially newbies who have a lot to learn and need guidance) on Steemit. Relax a tiny bit for fuck sakes ;)))
For your information, I have spent 2 years on this platform coaching people (in groups, on the one-on-one basis, through Steem.chat, Discord, Skype... - you name it). If I spent just 10% of that time creating my own posts and in different ways craving for the attention of big SP account holders, my wallet would very likely look different. But I enjoyed (and still do) when my students outperform me (what many of them did).
However, (read my initial comment once again), maybe you'll figure out that it has been addressed more to ring the bell of those (and some, apparently recognized themselves) capable to highly upvote such plagiarised crap content than to the author itself (as I am aware she is new - although, I've learned on the way some things should be cut in its roots).
And BTW, your language is not very appealing if even appropriate.
It's because I pick my language wisely depending the person's attitude in front of me each time. You are doing great on Steemit and congratulations. However, Steemit is nothing more than just another social media platform and part of the world we live in. And this world is supposed to be a free world (in theory), right? So, anyone can vote/support whoever he/she wants to. The upvoter in this case has created 95% of his SP from his own pocket (FIAT money he made in the real world and invested on Steemit), so if he wants to support people from his real environment, I don't see where is the problem exactly. Do you?
I have been raised in a way to respect the rules of the house I'm in it.
In that sense, Steemit "house" has its rules as well. They are very transparently delivered to every new user, before creating their first post, in the following form.
Some of those links are:
inside which you may find what is considered spam or abuse of Steemit platform usage
Through above-listed links, every new user would be guided as well to read "Helpful Posts from Steemit Users" among which they may find the following ones:
According to all just listed, and to answer your question, that's exactly where the problem is and where I see it!
We don't disagree there at all. I am 100% for crediting sources correctly and respecting the rules of the platform that host us. Sure!!! However, if the experienced steemians like you and me attack newbies by doing a mistake in their very first post instead of guiding them and showing them the right way, Steemit will become a ''prive club'' for very few members and that's the ideal way to fail and never grow as a community. It's her first post, she made a mistake as she didn't know better. Show her the right way, don't take her head off because she got a fat vote. That is my opinion. Have a nice day :)
I'm not taking her head off, I told her what Steemit community values.
Her head has been taken off by those that brought her here without teaching and guiding her but upvoting her just because they know her from their real-life environment.
If every one of us brings here our real-life guild to upvote each other just because we know each other from the real world and no matter of the content quality or originality that we would provide, Steemit would also become just another "prive club" but for certain group of members!
Think about it and have a nice day too!
"Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness"
She is trained in pilates. She has every right to use that illustration, as do the "hundred other sites" you mention, on her business cards, on her studio, and here on this post. The photos are, as I said, of her.
As I said, an apology is in order.
Don't ask for so hard things these days... "apology"(?) what does it even mean in 2018?
I guess you're right. That belongs to the old days when people still had honor.
Oh WOW, so she is even using it for her business.
I'm "sure" then, that she must have been paid the author for that kind of commercial use use as well (not only for Steemit publishing commercial purposes).
BTW - you have been around long enough to know it better.
And in that sense, if someone owes the apology to whom, then you just owe me the one.
Apology for what ? For pointing out plagiarism ? Or for bad photo quality? Maria could at least step up and explain (or apologize) not let her friends do the talking.
She has read those comments and still haven't removed the photo or at least referred to the source
It is her very first post. She knows nothing about the platform yet. I was not the one who told her about steemit, but I am happy to see her here. And I welcome her and wish her a good journey with us.
The apology would be for making a rude, jealous and vindictive comment rather than a kind and welcoming greeting with suggestions for improvement and pointers as to where she may have erred.
well i don't see any sources link at your first posts
@ana-maria62
And the same goes to you @annabi at this post
ALL you little pointy fingers ! LOL
Explain yourselfs now please
If you point out photo, it's made by me :) You can check it, I also have it on my website.
Also got verified by Steemcleaners.
If you point out content, i have rights to redistribute it however i want
I'm sorry that I didn't see this comment earlier @rouketas, but as you didn't tag me properly (purposely or not), I'm aware of it just now, when another user drow my attention to it.
But to answer your "pointing finger" comment...
In all my posts (or at least 99% of them), including the first ones, I'm using my own photos or the photos from Pixabay.com (which are under the CC0 Creative Commons license, free for commercial use and with NO attribution required).
Therefore, and just for your information, I didn't need and I don't need to put a source for any of these! (Although, now and for quite some time by now I'm doing that even for them too, just because of those people who don't care for someone else's authors rights.) When I use other sources (if they are free to use and free to use for commercial purposes) I give a proper attribution.
Accordingly, the post you've linked to contains the photos, images and/or illustrations from Pixabay.com, some of which I changed, by that creating my own derivative work (what I'm also allowed to do with Pixabay photos) for the purpose of my article.
The same applies even to the (arrow) GIF as it's, in fact, my own creation. This GIF is created with several images and illustration from Pixabay. Again, my own derivative work!
And last, but not least, for "smart ones" as you apparently wanted to be, and just in case, I keep the records for every single source that I have ever used (no matter if for my online or offline publishing).
So, to conclude...
My dear finger pointer, who didn't do your research well or even at all, you pointed your finger at the wrong direction!!!
P.S. (edited)
And now, also seeing @annaabi's reply to you, it seems it wasn't only a wrong direction, it was in fact wrong directionS!!!
