We therefore present a case of content recycling, which obviously shows how the user in question tries to obtain rewards using content that he had already used in the past.
The practice this author is adopting is not suitable for Hive.
We think that all us, long-time inhabitants of Hive, know the reason why, but perhaps for the new ones it is useful to give a hint of what is the nature of our Blockchain, in terms of authenticity of the content.
Hive, and its value are exactly proportional to us, or to the users and what we bring to this chain. At least this was the initial principle and that we still support. The proof of brain must never abandon Hive. Reason why trying to share content multiple times is a practice that in addition to being incorrect, also aims at the intelligence of those who really live this platform.
Initially I was very hesitant to share this report, as it is never certain whether an author is in good or bad faith.
But having all the evidence that leads me to think that the author's behavior is intentional and even more specifically designed for this purpose, that is, to obtain more rewards from the pool, pushes me to share this repot with you.

We can notice how the times for re-sharing content are almost always the same, giving 1 year of time more or less between one content and another.

Our investigation began with this post
The post has been edited and some photos removed.https://peakd.com/@xaviduran/deranged-photography-contest-is-back-and-on-liketu-theme-monochrome
Let's also add this example that shows both the color change to reuse the previous image, and the total invention of the photo shooting data

We have come to conclusions that are always very important. As far as we are concerned, he is already a blacklisted author, but we know that it is plausible that many others are more permissive than us and rightly so, seeing excellent photos, they could overlook these abuses. So now I want to ask you a question.
In your opinion, would a professional photographer ever invent shutter speed, exposure and ISO?
We take this opportunity to thank you for voting on our witness, and to support the work we do for Hive, both in terms of take care for new users and fighting abuse on the platform.
We will tag some of the users who send the most votes to the author xaviduran, so we can notify them
@neoxian,@travelfeed,@minnowbooster,@jarvie,@ecency,@pharesim
Stay tuned for all the news!
See you next time...
50HP, 100HP, 250HP, 500HP, 1000HP, 2000HP, 5000HP.
Be sure to leave at least 50HP undelegated on your account.
I feel like in this day and age it shouldn't be that difficult or expensive to have a bot that would notify curators when posts where the main attraction/value is meant to be photography/artwork/etc that gets recycled to alert us in the comment section.
This would help stakeholders/curators to avoid each individual to have to google reverse search every time and if it's just a banner/other usecase where it is re-used but the focus of the post is the content/other then curators could just ignore the comment.
But yeah, authors definitely shouldn't be recycling content knowing how the reward mechanism on hive works, there were some artists a few years ago who made a big fuss out of this but needless to be said you can't compare our reward pool reward mechanism with ad revenue or other things people may be used to.
We should adopt a "common list" among the most active curator communities, with x people behind it, the same as the curation teams or community owners, to ensure that everything is independent.
It could be a step forward towards more careful (but not more stringent) control and above all that the abuse is seen and supervised by everyone. More than anything that everyone is notified at the same time.
There are no bad posts, only bad curation.
what I can say in that they are becoming very good at hiding and inventing stories, which can circumvent the system, each time you have to wait a long time before fitting all the pieces together, and in the meantime the abuser can farm undisturbed... there is a fair balance between the parties. We definitely need to feed the anti-abuse part (always keeping in mind that we are on blockchain)
Thanks, I gave them a healthy dose of flags and muted them so I won't vote again.
Good morning HW, unfortunately in the past we didn't think he was such a repeat offender, we didn't give him much weight...
Unfortunately I don't think I found anything that recent, which is why I didn't know how to report it on your site.
sure!
