@olujay, @starstrings01, and @monioluwa - I welcomed @t-gold (and recommended his intro for an OCD upvote) on September 24th largely because he was onboarded by you, so I felt confident he would understand how Hive works.
Sadly, I was wrong.
I see four of his recent posts have been tagged as plagiarize/spun -
https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@t-gold/fashion-as-a-form-of-self-expression
https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@t-gold/that-one-customer

Now I will be extra cautious when deciding whether or not to recommend anyone you onboard.
And @t-gold, I think you can understand why I'm downvoting all of your current posts. Stealing content from other people is entirely unacceptable, as I mentioned in my first comment to you.
Apologies are not the way to absolve ourselves of letting this happen right under our noses, although we sincerely offer them. We take responsibility for this erroneous act by the newbie we onboarded and vouched for.
We understand that our recommendations will now be questionable. We take it as a call to restructure and attend to our loopholes.
And for the newbie in question, the necessary course of action will be taken to curb this abuse and keep Hive safe in our little way.
Thank you, @traciyork.
I am as much surprised with these reply. I believe t-gold knows what plagiarism is and it’s consequences. This is why I am surprised. I would go over these shared articles myself. Thank you for sharing.. I apologize for this happening.
