Hello steemcleaners, I noticed you downvoted my post on Myths About Cats yesterday. Now if you check my account, you will see that i just joined steemit barely a month and i am still trying to understand how things work here. Within the time space of my joining, i have introduced steemit to over 100 people and still counting. I started on 25 like everyone and i grew my reputation to 40. I use original contents without plagiarism but i get my pictures from free picture sites. I don't infringe on copyright issues. Now what i dont understand is what was wrong with my article that made it attract a downvote from you? I really want to know. This action took my account from a reputation of 40 to 12 and I am very discouraged. The time as i write here is 4:25am, this happened last night and it has given me a sleepless night. I have not even told the people i introduced to this platform but they will soon find out and wonder what happened to my account. This is very discouraging especially when you don't seem to know what you did wrong. I currently don't even have the zeal to write another post because getting to 40 from 25 was not easy. I currently told my many friends that i was going to give the first person who gets to a reputation of 45 before september 15 a gift just to encourage them to keep up the fire burning. These are people who write original contents just like me. What was the offense in my post about Myths about cats? Maybe if you tell me what i did wrong, i may understand why this happened? I am sad!

You used the #photography tag which implies that image of the cat was taken by you. Because of that, you were reported by users who saw the post and assumed you were stating that you are the photographer. You have three such cases of "photo plagiarism", all reported by the community. I'll restore your reputation some so you can move on but please refrain from posting photographs in the #photography tag without giving credit to the original photographer.
You also need to go through your posts and add sources to everything you posted that's from the internet, which is most of your posts. If you need help in figuring out how to post without plagiarism just ask. We're always on discord.
Oh! Thank you so much for this. I do appreciate this. Please show me how i can give photo credit to the source. Thanks again
