RE: An Imagined Empire, Friday Poets

It's a shame Steemit doesn't let us repost content again. They shouldn't cut off the payout either. I'd have voted for that poem in a heartbeat. I believe it's curation worthy too!

Did you grab a copy of my free ebook novelette, *The Dance Plays On…" for yourself?

Thanks, Denise.

The thing with the week deadline is that it works well with the burn off point for payout. A post or comment does not receive a payout unless it makes around 3 cents. The policy allows for less waste in upvotes but they really should not allow anyone to upvote after the week. It would take a hardfork to change both but given the cost of running of the block chain, I do not think they will change the burn-off point. How would it work paying off millions of very small payouts. Past posts don't get a lot of attention.

Yes, I feel rather connected to this poem but the competition for curating was intense back then. That said, I get curating on a regular basis and so I can't complain.

I will work to download your book later today:)

Well, if they keep it that way, then they should let folks post content new again – especially given that posts made on the platform when we're first beginning don't get a lot of eyes on them.

You can always modify what you have posted in the past . If for examply you post your poetry as a slide or image. It will be new again ... so to speak.

Yeah, but then, sometimes, you get a warning about plagiarism. That happened to me and I had to prove it was my own work. The confrontation ended with an admonishment not to repeat content.

If you supply something new with it ... like commentary, reading, or some art. Then you should be fine. You can put the poem on a photo or you can also quote yourself and give a link.' >' before the work is the code for quoting. Then just give the link. I had to do that when I was running those contests and when I didn't I was visited by cheetah too. It is a bother but it protects us too.

Major works like from Joyce or something will be seen many times on this block chain. Just don't repost a whole post like you did the first time and it is not plagiarism.

I tried what you recommended with my free ebook promo. No curator flagged it this time. Maybe it was something the curators have relaxed about since then.

Truth ... I have not seen cheetah around for a bit and so you are probably right.
