Yes, I am the original author and publisher of this post.

I disagree a bit with the thinking behind the cheetah bot.

  • A lot of us have been blogging for years.
    • Why can't we repost some of that info here?

It hit me the other day, for a contest entry I had made.

  • I copied the rules, so others could see how easy it was
    • checking of each step
      • Hoping others would see how easy it was and want to enter too...
  • I even gave the link to the contest post.
    • As you did in this post. Linked to your original work..
      • But, it has pointed out some copy & paste artists, that I almost voted for, but didn't when I saw they weren't the creators...

I have puzzled on it too. I have never seen mention of rules that said that I could not repost material from my other websites, but maybe I missed something. I don't know why that might be against the rules, after all I am the original author and publisher, right.

Most of the time I have added new photos or other material, edited, and tweaked the original work before posting it on Steemit. Sometimes the new post is not very much the same at all, but the bot picks it up anyway.

Not much of a problem for me in the future though. I'm about all out of older material.

Time to forge ahead, and get the Steem on!

Best!

love that bot, not at all.
