If it was not accusatory in nature, it would have another name than "Cheetah" which is indicating a user is "cheating" or plagiarizing in some way. There is some kind of denial going on if one does not see the connection or the negative connotation of a robot named "cheetah" that is commenting on posts it feels are copying content.
It is making Steemit look bad by having a great rich network of actual users who are already run through with bots, then a bot comes through and marks a good post. Now when users comment responding to a robot, people are just reading posts and comments confused, but definitely sure of one thing, a person probably copied content. Unfortunately that isn't true, and in fact I see people linking sources and the bot pings them still. Look at these posts, not mine, and the users getting hit:
In this post, @anyx actually responded but then called the user "fickle" for bringing these things up https://steemit.com/curation/@screenname/the-daily-tribune-most-undervalued-posts-of-dec-03---part-ii
Here is a post of my own, I cite the sources ON TOP OF I am getting NO payment for the post, it is just a link with a synopsis, and it gets hit too https://steemit.com/newslinks/@cryplectibles/newslink-comics-store-worker-helps-troubled-queer-teen-with-beautiful-act-of-kindness
Finally, look at a post from another user who has been complaining about these issues for a while now https://steemit.com/cheetah/@lifeworship/cheetah-does-more-harm-than-good-x-5
I have said nothing but the bot is a good idea, that is just currently broken and doing more harm than good. I have asked @anyx directly if he would consider renaming the bot or turning it off until fixed. As of right now, it is a bot that is giving a lot of false labels on good posts and I am not the only user who is having issues with it.
Out of all this, the only part I find really bad, is if you try and approach the user @anyx, your posts with either be ignored or his responses, I mean his comments basically hijacked this post https://steemit.com/games/@jacobtothe/magic-the-gathering-commander-deck-overview-6 If one tries to approach him with anything but he wants to hear it is as though he doesn't understand other opinions than his own, plus afterwards he went on a spree just downvoting comments. Please read through the comments of the posts above, I would love to find a way to have this resolved in any manner that isn't the owner of a bot ignoring MANY MANY comments regarding this bot and how it is currently running.
There are bots which report things all over Steemit. Some identify if a post has been Tweeted for example. Others indicate if a post has been linked elsewhere in Steemit.
These are useful tools as are tools which identify that source content came from somewhere inside or outside Steemit.
@cheetah is a scout. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not a mark for or against any given content. It's a presenter of usually factual information. You claim it should be fixed. If it's presenting something false that would require fixing. If it presents a clear link to content which exists elsewhere what needs fixing?
In regards to the name it may have been a clever name chosen by @anyx
What I know about the project is the bot used to call out content as "possible plagiarism". As you can clearly see the bot now only states that something is available elsewhere. It doesn't accuse that there's no citation. I believe Cheetah is a fine name because it indicates speed and efficiency. It also indicated being a predator which I believe has been toned down in practice.
The language you use indicates your own bias in this matter. You claim the bot "marks" a post by adding a comment. You claim users and posts are being "hit".
I'm writing a comment right now and I'm neither "marking" nor "hitting" your post. Why is @cheetah any different?
To mark or hit would indicate flags. So far I haven't seen flags issued which weren't warranted. Your calls to flag @cheetah in my mind warrant a flag.
Several times already you've admitted you don't know or understand the system. @cheetah and @anyx have several posts introducing and describing the bot. I have no qualm if you choose not to educate yourself. I have a huge problem with you advocating action and making broad assumptions about something you never took even the slightest time to learn about. You're arguing from ignorance. You've admitted so. It's definitely a strike against your credibility.
P.S. Read some of the things you linked to. @anyx called the problem with @cheetah "fickle" not the user. Even indicated they wouldn't receive another comment from @cheetah in the future. Please read more carefully and you might see that steps are made to improve the bot.
