Now you have an attitude and trying to victimize yourself by calling yourself scum and criminal. I never called you that.
At least give them a chance to correct their mistakes before taking everything away.
First of all - some of your rewards were removed. Not from all posts ("taking everything away"). There is no need to exaggerate.
Second - people correct their mistakes and continue. And there is in nothing wrong with that. You got pointed out your mistake and since you got to know that copying someone else's writing is not welcome on Hive, you could continue writing your own text. Or not. It was your call.
I mean, if frigging game companies are fully aware and just fine with channels copy/pasting their game descriptions you wouldn't think that you have to link sources on a blockchain built around the idea of censorship resistance.
Censorship free media doesn't mean you can freely copy other people's work. Please do not confuse those two.
You are also forgetting that you monetize your posts on Hive. YOUR content. Not other's. And curators should know which part of the post is actually yours, and which is not before they decide to vote it.
But yes, I understand sourcing copied text would be legally correct regardless.
Glad we agree on that.
