First of all, a BIG congratulations for your 10th video in your Steemit video series. I remember when you had just first announced that you would be starting a How To video series for all the newbies to Steemit and I immediately thought that it's such a fantastic idea. And now 10 videos in, I'm very proud of how far you've come in this series, which has been supremely helpful for everyone, especially for me, as I am learning loads everyday and even more from your informative videos. Thank you immensely for making this series Alla!
And great idea to include links to all of the previous videos in the series so that anyone can just pick and choose which topic to revisit and dive right in! This was an extra special treat for sure ;)
Thanks for raising awareness of all the plagiarism going on in our community - it's very important to notice and report it instantly so that our beloved Steemit doesn't devolve into other cesspools like Facebook and YouTube lol. There are certainly several folks that I've spotted personally spamming their links all over the place, so I will do my job by flagging and reporting them to Steemcleaners.
Remember spammers - if you guys continue dropping your links all over Steemit, Professor Alla will lower her glasses ever so slightly and DESTROY you. ;)
Keep up the good work and on to the next 10 videos!!!
thank you so much darling! You are such a star and such a great example to this community! You have done so well for yourself and you keep growing! You will do really well !! and very kind words, im so glad my project is working out!! hard work always pays off!!
You're very welcome Alla! Your Steemit video series is always so helpful, informative and inspiring for all of us. You truly personify the power of hard work and dedication on a daily basis. Keep smashing it - you're a superstar!
You have raised a very important topic @allasyummyfood and is something which every new user should be aware about. I feel Posting Guidelines on Steemit should be included as a part of the welcome e-mail when the account is created.
Plagiarising is very easy in Photography related posts and unfortunately there is a flood of such posts under the photography tag. Just yesterday I wrote a post on how to find such copied photographs in a SINGLE STEP.
Super post with lots of explanation on the dos and the donts, i love it. This will definately help minnows like me. Great job. I would like you to do 1 about our security, how to safeguard our accounts and so on.
Agree with your stand against plagiarism and spamming. What if someone places a link to their post in a comment, in combination with a good argument or story, whereby the link is very relevant? Do you see that as spam? Just curious.
i think if its used in an argument or story no, I'm talking about those people who just copy and paste the same thing with their link and message everyone!
Flagging is only allowed in few cases : Plagiarism, SPAM and Insults.
You can actually downvote (flag) for any reason you like, good or bad. It's just not necessarily wise to be doing it for bad reasons. You could get some flak for how you downvote, and it may hurt the recipient more than you expect it to, so it's best that your reasoning is widely supported and well justified. The more Steem Power you have the more responsibility you are wielding with your downvote.
As a rule I would say that the flag should be reserved for posts which detract value from the platform, and you should first try to steer the user nicely towards better behaviour, secondly warn them if they persistently behave poorly, and only finally flag them if they continue after being warned in most cases. There are exceptions where a flag is appropriate from the outset IMO.
that is probably the COOLEST comment i have ever received ! thank you so much and i agree with everything you said obvs, im really glad you enjoyed my videos ! and you are saying exactly what i say! You seem to know the platform well! Glad to meet you!! :))
I watched all your videos on this article and they were all super informative, but the first one about spam and plagiarism really helped me. I am new to the steemit platform, and did a minnow guide for beginners. Another newbie told me that I should let other minnows know about the post. I didn't know what he meant, and he said I should share the link with new people under the #introduceyourself tag area. I thought that was a good idea, so I started doing it. I had no idea that that was spam. I am supper glad I saw this video before I got bad reputation hits. I will not do it again. By the way I like your Red lipstick. Very Taylor Swift!
That's what I like about this platform's design: the power is in our hands and together we can make this a great place. Good etiquette takes no time to develop but it's only those who ignorantly refuse to learn that keep hurting others (and themselves too in the process 😂)
I am so glad we have some awesome people and groups such as steemcleaners keeping our community safe and free from things that can ultimately bring down the entire system.
Wow, lots of very good tips in one post. I am impresed, thanks a lot. Might go to the festival to meet you in person and eat some nice yummy food. Keep steeming
Been following you a lot, thanks for the info. I'm gathering info to start releasing quality posts. I've a question though, would you be doing like reviews on certain new programs out on the internet? I'm just curious about a few like usi tech and etc. AND NOW WE CAN EARN THROUGH FLAGGING SPAMMERS hahaaaa! #foodpornpics
Cheers!
Nice post, now go and follow me and upvote everything I post - just kidding 😂 Thanks again for the great input Alla. I've never used the flag before and I will be very cautious in doing so. At least now I know, when it is okay to use it 👍
I've been on the platform for only 10 days but even I get the spam messages. Didn't really know how to react, so I just ignored them. For sure I'll keep an eye on them :p
Thank you for the time you spend to teach us the bases of Steemit.
It's very useful for rookies like me and it's allow us to undertsand the philosophy of Steemians. Downvoting hating content is, in my opinion, one of the best aspect of Steemit and avoid a lot of complications that we can see on other social media (but of course the "flag power"implies great responsabilities and your remind about the rules of flagging are useful). Thanks again
This has been so useful... I made the mistake and i'm paying for it. I need other steemers to help me out here. My reputation has gone from 40 to 9. This is bad
@allasyummyfood
you are the first one who told me that we can earn by catching plagiarized posts.
Keep educating.
Also loved your posts and glasses you had :)
very useful post! Although I would love to fight plagiarism...it seems hard to actually find it and be a 100% sure its really stolen work...wouldnt want to make a mistake there
yes of course, but its quite easy for me to spot plagiarism, anyone who takes their own professional pictures will have a website or a blog - because they would have shared it on other platforms, if that person doesnt - questionable!
That's true, for me it's also annoying when people take other peoples work even if they provide a source link or whatever. As if that person cares about a source link, that doesn't allow anyone to use other peoples property as they please for their own benefit... Do you think those people can be flagged too, even if they provide a source?
not unless they copy and paste others work, if they add some sorta value and use the source for inspiration its ok , if you feel they dont deserve it just dont vote or follow them!
This line
"I apologise if I dont reply to everyone, but i do get a lot of comments, and I try my hardest to reply, so dont get offended if you dont get a reply!!"
Yes, I was the one who complained that you didn't reply but the good thing is I understood your situation, it is always good to see people like you replying in a positive way rather being offended byy anyone's negative comment.
Talking about this video, I guess people are still using the old SEO techniques, copy pasting messages they used to do on Wordpress blogs and this is not going to work here.
I am always reading your posts. It's amazing that you've gathered a huge audience. I'm putting a lot of time and effort to my posts and the only thing I get is nothing. Not even a few views. I'm not talking about upvotes. At least if people are reading what we write we can keep doing it. For me views are more important than rewards. But it is so hard. You are really good and really lucky. Keep going. All the best.
thank you! for people to watch your stuff, you need to go and build relationships, go around comment, make friends and ppl will start looking at your stuff! it takes time :)
This really nice information. It will definitely help new member like me. I shows how much research you have did in this platform. And trying community clean and spam free.
We all appreciate your approach and we abide by the rule every time. Also when we will see some spamming is going on we will take responsibility and try to protect it.
Thanks for sharing such a good content. We all definitely show our responsibility to the community to protect and flourish it.
I have been following u for a couple of days now. I really love your food recipes. I also love your steemit tutorials. Currently watching the 5th video. Thanks a bunch for posting
The Steem blockchain requires a set of people to create blocks and uses a consensus mechanism called delegated proof of stake, or DPOS. The community elects 'witnesses' to act as the network's block producers and governance body. There are 20 full-time witnesses, producing a block every 63-second round. A 21st position is shared by backup witnesses, who are scheduled proportionally to the amount of stake-weighted community approval they have. Witnesses are compensated with STEEM Power for each block they create.
Steemit leverages Steem because the founders of Steemit believe Steem’s decentralized text content storage and governance model makes Steem an excellent platform for supporting the long term success of its social network and digital currency tokens.
Just after being on here for only two days I have already realized that people keep posting the weirdest things just to TRY and get upvoted, its insane
it is nice when people do post actual content about things that matter to people
but i have seen a LOT of people posting articles that are from other websites or simply just copy and pasting the articles as if they were their own, its insane!
I always follow your post and apply your precious advice, putting effort in my posts, and also translating them for the Spanish-speaking community. Yet, I am really starting to wonder how visibility works.
Of course I wish for everyone to do great on this platform, it is just that I see on a daily basis some posts with very basic contents getting many upvotes (and again, I am happy for these people), and for example my last 2 posts have so far received no attention whatsoever... what I am doing that is not working?
Can I invite you to have a look at my latest post and let me know what you think? https://steemit.com/music/@christellemoore/put-your-headphones-on-give-it-a-try-and-enjoy-ponte-los-auriculares-escucha-y-disfruta
please dont send links here, and to get attention you need to build relationships and work hard here, comment and get around, nobody will check your posts if they dont know who you are! no need to post loads jn the beginning!
Thanks Alla for this great compilation on how to get started on stemmit. I'm a newbie and the videos were great to get a feeling for the platform. :)
I will try to add value to the network and I like how you provide content . You produce the video with iMovie on iPhone right? Great job :P

They work ok for me.

yes for sure, that is why we still need to learn and keep growing!!!
I am so glad we have some awesome people and groups such as steemcleaners keeping our community safe and free from things that can ultimately bring down the entire system.
