RE: Plagiarism on Steemit. A Look at @jpiper20
Thanks for posting this. This is a very important matter especially now in the building of the foundation for the future of this community.
I hope this standard is enforced and that people see that it is, so as to discourage it happening to begin with.
Though, deceptive selfish people probably don't check out other peoples posts to much...All the more reason to have people looking out for this stuff to call it out and stop the criminal theft ASAP.
As long as people are looking out for it and investigation is done the truth will be revealed and accountability can be enforced by the community.
There needs to be a way to actually lower someones reputation by enough down votes so that they don't just loose the value of a recent post but loose the reputation that they got from being false and deceptive.
For example right now he had some posts flagged but is reputation is still at 67 which is supposedly quite relatively speaking "high/reputable"
In fact this and MANY OTHER plagiarizers or false accounts have earned more $ and have MUCH higher rep than someone like me who is running an organization feeding 40,000 free meals a year and operating at the lowest carbon footprint of any organization I am aware of.
Even still after being caught hi rep is still higher...
