Thank you for your support everyone. Me as an South African living in a country which is rotten with corruption and crime should know how difficult it is to trust and not question everything, so I do not blame you.
Condra you raised valid questions which I agree needs answers. I respect you trying to control plagiarism which has become a huge plague on steemit and you have my support.
You asked why we feature an Author more than once? Those that have been on this platform for a long time would know that featuring a person once won't do much to gain followers. I myself have grown only with about 5 followers per day while featuring other authors. I will leave the math up to you on how many times a person needs to be featured.
Why we all feature the same author? This has been a concern of mine too as I felt there are no loyalty but once again, my following base is minute against the others so I grant them the opportunity to be exposed to a greater audience. This will enable them to go on their own.
Some of the other authors we have featured more than once are in need of the money as I am sure most are here on steemit, that the reason why so many do not mind us taking the steempower and giving them the steemdollars. I was and still am one of them.
Johnnyyash, I thought was a reputable author as many of us featured his work. Once again whatever the reason we all fail in something at some time. I did last night by not checking his article before posting it same as for sumee. I always check my authors blogs to see if there was any flagging and what material they post but with him I did not, but in all honesty I did not expect to spend so much time helping others as I am doing right now, so I had no system in place.
After all has been said and done: I am grateful though for what happened because we can all learn from it. I have time now to work out how to work systematically and fair. I will surely fail again but at least I am trying, more than I can say for most of the bigger authors.
Hope this will help
Thanks for responding. Good luck going forward.
Thank you condra the same to you.
