RE: SteemSTEM and Cheetah

in #steemstem7 years ago

There's a misconception that cheetah is a "plagiarism" bot. She does help us find plagiarism but she's also a fresh content bot. Getting a cheetah comment if you are posting you're own content from steemit.com, posting your own content from another source, or posting fresh content that includes quotes from sources shouldn't have a stigma attached to it.

Those who have posts with quotes sometimes get a comment from cheetah when the percentage of quoted material vs original content is too high or they are just unlucky. No one is blacklisted based on whether cheetah stops by their posts to comment one time or a thousand times.

Sometimes @cheetah is way off base and I think she's been in the virtual catnip. In those cases several have just made good natured fun of her mistake, in others they've reported it and we've changed her comment to "I'm a silly robot!"

If you'd like to help the @steemcleaners team you can respond to any @cheetah comment you get by saying something like - "Thanks! That's my footer, glad it stands out!" or "Yup, that's where I found that quote!" If we have a reason to followup on @cheetah we can easily see the reason she commented and move on.

If I can help let me know!
