I like the idea and the simplicity of "Get paid not pwned", but it opens itself up to mockery given the fact that many people did in fact get pwned here on Steemit a few months back. ;)

Also we could look at other slogans. The thing I like about the "get paid not pwned" is the simplicity and alliteration but if we can come up with a better one (and there have been some other good suggestions) we could just go with that.
"Get paid not owned" doesn't have the alliteration but takes away the hacking insinuation.
I'm a little bit out of the loop here. Can you give a short explanation as to why people got pwned here? I'm guessing it had to do with the fall of the STEEM value?
Someone hacked a bunch of accounts a few months back. Steemit refunded the money to those who lost their funds (afaik) and created the recover account tool to get their accounts back.
Oh, sounds like there was a lot of drama involved in this incident. Thanks for replying to my question by the way :)
Yes tuck is right. People got hacked a few months ago and one of the more recent meanings of pwn has been to hack.
Lol it depends on your definition I suppose. In this case I was referring to owning your own material rather than getting hacked.
Slogans need to be necessarily simple and that risk will always exist. Anybody can get hacked on any platform.
Further the mockery could potentially result in heated arguments that could in themselves generate more attention.
