Have you ever ran out of idea and wanted to simply 'copy & paste' an article for other site? You might want to consider not doing that because... a cheetah is always there to taking care the plagarism! Yess.. you read it right, a Cheetah. Cheetah is a admin bot that will always checking your content whether it's original, or plagarised.
Source
When the bot spotted a suspicios content, it will drop a comment (sarcastically) such as the screenshot below.
and it will commenting in your post and share a link that similar to your post.
But, in some case, Cheetah does make mistake too, there's a case cheetah commenting even though the content is original, maybe some sentence coincidental same.
Steemit hate plagarism and encourage original content, and please bare in minde to site your source , photo, or article and make sure the photo's copyright is not protected.
What happen if Cheetah commented 3 times?
You will get yourself black listed! and it's a teribble thing to happen and it will surely demotivated you. Your post will become unnotice by other user, and they unable to upvote you. In some case, the bots will downvoted your post, and might flagged by some big whale as well. These will make your reputation going down!
What should you do if you got blacklisted?
If you got blacklisted, DON'T QUIT because there's still a way to get out from the blacklist. All you have to do is to appeal to steemitabuse channel. It won't be that easy and fast, sometime it takes weeks to be approve and clear from blacklist. You need to explain them what happen and admit your mistake and make sure it wont happen again.
Now you heard me and know who Cheetah is, so.... Never Copy and Paste! Post anything as long as it's original and remember to site your source!
Hope the post help especially to all newbies like me.
Thank you so much for posting an important one

I just read your article. Im sure it is original content, maybe its just coincidentaly same.. all the best @kennethtks hopefully you will manage to sort this things out.
