I am still very new here. If I visit a page that @cheetah has a post on, I look very close at the content. If it is plagiarism, i do not visit any of the posters other post/blogs.
Yes I have seen where @cheetah is wrong on a few cases, but I am human and able to discern when a robot is wrong and when a human is a cheat/liar/spammer/Plagiarizer.
@cheetah is rarely wrong, but whats does it matter when it is. I have a brain and can see it made a mistake, and then I look over more of that posters blogs.
As for steemcleaners,I think they are a real aid to steemit. I am tired of looking at a hastag and getting completely irrelevant post. So Steem Clean on.
This actually supports my ultimate point on the whole thing. You are capable of seeing these things for yourself and capable of flagging them yourself so organizations like cheetah should not exist because they stop people like you and me from doing it ourselves, it gets us out of the habit because we don't see it. It's just like government constantly adding all these new services that you need that really you could and SHOULD be doing for yourself. That's why flagging and upvoting exist. So each of us as individuals can take responsibility for OUR community instead of a small group of elites taking it upon themselves and in so doing opening the door to corruption by creating an unstoppable force. I'm not saying they don't do any good. Im saying the good they do should be the responsibility of EVERYONE not just SOME! If it's such an expensive and difficult job which wasn't theirs to do in the first place then WHY?
oh right...
...because it is actually profitable.
I AM NOT 100% ON THIS.
I AM open to arguments to the contrary but that is at this time how it appears to me. I am of course at this time looking into the entire thing much much more closely. I do at the end of the day prefer informed decisions over hearsay.
Last reply along this thread for me I think @aaronmda.
you missed the point,
WE DON'T DO IT ALONE.
WE ALL DO IT TOGETHER
NOT JUST SOME PEOPLE IN ONE ORGANIZED UNQUESTIONABLE GROUP.
you'll notice the people who actually run this rarely ever even take part in these conversations and when they do they just complain about the "inconvenience", when everything they do to others like myself is unbelievably inconvenient. They seem content to let their lackey's take all the heat and then whale flag you for arguing with them.
I feel like there have been a lot of comments on this thread from the people involved trying to answer any of the questions raised.
involved yes....running it, no
nobody runs steemcleaners, its a group of people
Okay, so how do we ALL do it together? Where do we ALL go to say hey that's SPAM, That's Plagiarism.
@ionlysaymeep is a bot. All those meeps, could be considered SPAM by some. So where do we ALL go to discuss this matter ad-nauseum, to make an informed decision that yes it's a bot and it's meep's are spam.
I don't think there is a solution to the spam and plagiarism issue. One man's Spam is another man's dinner. Plagiarism is a very very sticky issue on line and always will be, as will the right to free speech will be an issue. When it comes to social networks, there will always be bullies, whiners, and controllers. We need to stay vigilant against all three of these. @cheetah does not care what a person's Reputation score is, unfortunately some of the steemcleaners may be concerned about Reputation score.
I am not sure anyone really RUNS this. @anyx has posted to this thread trying to clarify some things. (she is @cheetah 's creator )
@pjheinz has commented, with bold dots, but at least we know he is reading the thread. As for @ned and @dan, I don't think they really care too much about what happens on the social network side. Anyway, try to have a nice day, because both of us are most likely going to end up being smashed and bashed by the big guys on both sides.
