RE: Got flagged twice for a post...30 reputation points are now gone...:( - Is it fair?!?!?!
Plagiarism is a grey area on Steemit we all have to learn our knowledge from somewhere to begin with. 'When a baby is born it knows nothing' I would consider it cheating if you had copied another users post but getting information through study of other independent web sites if you ask me I think it's harsh.
If I teach somebody something it's knowledge that I had to learn before I could possibly teach it so I don't find it logical that I own that knowledge my student owns that knowledge or the person who taught me owns that knowledge.
I can own a certificate to say that I am competent to teach certain things but I cant own a certificate to say the knowledge is exclusively mine.
I agree. If it was a flag for translating something without a source link...no problem...my bad. It's flagged by two for plagiarism from another steemit user which I haven't done. I gave in my comment on that post the source where I found the info. What the other user has done is none of my business, but I haven't been stealing anything from any user. Now it's up to the admins. I've learned my lesson...
