RE: 4 Steps to Avoid Trouble with @cheetah and his helpers and the legals. Probably. Maybe. Maybe.

in #steemit8 years ago

real humans tend to be following @ cheetah, driving the @ steemcleaner account ... or ... that's the plan the last time I read their info. So they may have noticed.

But, yes, in the beginning I did a couple of posts on my now long long long neglected web site about being on steemit.

It also would be safe to just end such a post with a link to your content on your web site. Mainly @ steemcleaners is just looking for the link to the originating website. But if they realize someone is just lifting stuff left and right, that's another story.

Sort:  

It would be easy enough to mention I previously posted this article on Wordpress. That'll keep me outta trouble. I've never had my reputation go down.

A fella I follow here busted a page for just out and out copying entire Rodale gardening articles and passing them off as his own. I have never understood plagiarism, then again, my brain doesn't operate in those terms. Thanks for the article and your response.

They usually knock the post down first. Which doesn't help with reputation and most definitely hides the post and dramatically affects payout.

And yes that's pretty brazen to try to lay ownership / authorship claim to established content by someone else.

You're welcome. It was nice to have you stop by and make your acquaintance.
