The voters who made the pending payout temporarily valuable changed their votes when they realized how little you did to make that post, and that you actually posted it without attribution as if it were your own.

You can link to an article, quote a bit of it (like a couple paragraphs for instance), add your own commentary if you want, and that is a legitimate way to post other people's work here. You then are rewarded by upvotes for pointing people to read the article, not for full-on copy/pasting another person's writing or work.

That kind of stealing may be tolerated elsewhere but since the rewards here are real money we're doing our best not to pay anyone to steal.
