RE: Greywarden > I am currently trying to report the following accounts, and more for runni
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Yes, i am quite aware of my post and conversation with @traciyork and her concerns about a post she felt violates Hive Rules 6 months ago because it wasn't well sourced. The defendant claims she indeed sourced it and at the time was a SoMee admin. So there was a lot of back and forth about this..
Nope, the three downvotes I issued weren't a matter of opinion. The first post I downvoted (after first leaving a comment to make sure she understood) was an almost exact repost of one @madam-ak had done in October 2022, which had the added issue of being copied from a SoMee tutorial. Regardless of whether she originally wrote it, she still recycled the content.
The second post I downvoted was in response to a post she'd done with a plagiarized photo. As that had already paid out, I downvoted and commented on a post that hadn't yet paid out instead. Because plagiarism is never acceptable.
The third and last downvote was on a post that was again just repeating exactly what someone else said, with no original content. Why would she think she could monetize someone else's work, with or without sourcing?
You both still seem to think this is simply a matter of a difference in opinion, and I suppose in some respects you are correct. However, it is the opinion of the vast majority of the Hive community that people who try to abuse the reward pool through recycling & plagiarism should not be allowed to continue. And that's a fact.
No, this is not a matter of opinions. Rules are rules and need to be followed. The above is for Madam to bring clarity to the exact posts you are referring to that were in violation, as we do need to see the other side as well.
You had your reasons i am sure to downvoting the posts. I never accused you of doing anything illegal. What i do understand is that you went your way and she went hers and there was no further contact between you and her.
The problem is that 6 months later, her account gets collectively downvoted for problems that are completely unrelated to what happened 6 months ago and her reputation taken down below zero. Posts that do not break rules cannot be treated as if they broke rules, unless of course this is the way Hive Operates which would not be fair at all if that is the case.
I'd like to see @madam-ak return and see a counter argument from her regarding this matter you brought up. The only way we can get to the truth of the matter is through putting our right to the freedom of expression in use. Correct information can only be reached through a debate process where the person with the strongest arguments wins the debate. This is precisely why i created this post. So we can get to the truth of this matter. I am not defending anyone, although it might appear that i am defending @madam-ak, i am actually not. I am allowing her to defend herself through this post and a previous one where we can actively engage and get to the truth of the matter. It really makes me happy that you and others are participating in bringing clarity to all of this. However, many things are left without an explanation. Such as why an attack on her reputation for something that happened 6 months ago?
