We treat everyone equally and have no exceptions when it comes to abuse, just because some known hiveians would like their favorite users to have special treatment when they are caught with abuse and blacklisted.
This case has been treated just like thousands of other similar cases.
If you don't see a problem with someone exploiting and abusing Hive by effortlessly stealing the content of other people, so he can post it as own content to farm rewards, then there is nothing we can do to change your opinion.
Will you attempt to take on and blacklist everyone who uses a quote in their post?
There is a contest planned for later this week for quotes. A clear rule from @Hivewatchers would be appreciated. Does anyone using a quote get blacklisted or only certain people? Are some quotes allowed and others not? @quotes-haven attributes the quote to the person who said it. What more do you require?
