As we learn, we shouldn't be hold accountable for things we did and never knew their consequences.
I don't really agree with this, plagiarism is quite common and something most kids learn in school already. That said I realize how for newcomers they may not understand how the rewards here work, that upvotes literally mean real money after a few days and that the way they've been using other socials, which 99% of the time for most people don't reward them with adrevenue or any monetization doesn't mean it will fly here.
So my point was more towards newcomers who may be too quick to share things without thinking it through. If I see long-term users actively abusing through plagiarism or running AI bots to generate most of the content just to farm rewards I'm a lot more stricter in that case because they should be well aware of everything by then.
That's fair enough. Thanks for the clarification.
