I've discovered the image presented here today was not a photograph taken by @themarkymark. Since @themarkymark failed to provide a link to the source of this image and indicate that it is not his photograph, I'm left with no other option but to flag the post.
I get the joke, but adding more garbage to the garbage pile that is the trending page is a counterproductive approach to cleaning it up. I think you can do better, @themarkymark.
Have a nice day.
Hey nonameslefttouse,
did you just flag the person that just wanted to make a point for others to see (and lost money by doing so), but you are leaving people like Haejin, who is making 10 per day to amass as much rewards as possible, without any flag?
Why are you flagging the good guys? :(
So you think this is absolutely right?
Well, at least it started the conversation, didn't it? Now more people understand the problem.
This isn't first or second time. It's the same old story and this discussion will lead to nowhere just like previous ones.
And I think only people who have already understood the problem are taking part in the discussion and for others, it's just another trending post, go through the comments. it won't take anyone longer than a month to understand the situation here.
Have a good time.
Personally, I think everyone should step up and lead by example. I'd like to see some professionalism around here. Actions speak louder than words. I don't care about this point he's trying to make. Nearly all of us make the same goddamn point everyday. What is making the same goddamn point every single day going to prove? Nothing. It's a waste of time. We all know it's garbage, so do something about it. If I stand beside a garbage can, then point at the garbage can and say, "That's garbage," do I sound like a genius or a fucking moron?
It’s a CC0 image which means no attribution needed commercial or personal use.
If you are going to flag for plagiarism or image theft do some research. I will be returning the favor five fold.
Thanks for pointing that out, after. You could mention that in the post.
The flag stays. I disagree with rewards. I think you can do better. It's not hard to find an image on the internet. This post lacks effort and I feel it doesn't deserve the current $254.35 worth of rewards.
Some people here work incredibly hard and stand no chance to earn something like that. I believe you can do better. I suggest you lead by example.
Have a nice day.
The post isn’t making jack as it will posted at a loss to make a point. There is no requirement to attribute CC0 it is the entire point of the license. You should do some research before flagging for theft.
Disagreement on rewards is fine but that’s not what you claimed. If you think I will profit off this post you are mistaken.
The post is far more than the image. It’s just to make a point.
I didn't accuse you of being a thief. That's on the record.
We cleared that up. I considered removing the flag but decided to leave it for a different reason. That's on the record.
Like I said, I get the joke.
Your potential profit or loss doesn't concern me. I don't care. I know how this place works.
It's nothing personal. I'm making a point right now as well. We can all make a point at some point in our lives. I don't think this particular instance of making a point is worth more than nearly all of the other instances of making a point, therefore the flag stays because I disagree with rewards.
"I've discovered the image presented here today was not a photograph taken by @themarkymark. Since @themarkymark failed to provide a link to the source of this image and indicate that it is not his photograph, I'm left with no other option but to flag the post."
I'm pretty sure that's what that says. Yet you did no research at all. If I blacklisted everyone I knew was a plagiarist or stole images but couldn't prove I'd blacklist half of Steemit. That's irresponsible.
Flag for disagreement, no problems, I'm going to do some disagreeing myself.
I right clicked on the image above, did a quick search in google, found many instances of the image and reported my findings. In nowhere in anything I said were you accused of being a thief. It is standard practice on Steemit to provide sources. Majority of people do it. You eventually cleared that up with everyone, I was satisfied with that. That's all on the record. No amount of spinning what I said or taking things out of context can change that.
Since it seems you're threatening me and since I didn't come here to act petty and get in a flag war with someone who feels like pouting over a $4 flag and since I'm sensing bully tactics, I'll now remove my flag out of fear.
Have a nice day.
Second result.
(A well known, CC0 site used by many Steemians)
I'm fine with flagging for disagreement with rewards, I wouldn't have said a thing. I've been flagged many times before for standing up what I believe in, and I'm sure there will be plenty more. In fact I totally expected to be flagged on this post.
I spend a lot of time daily looking through spam and abuse to prevent it being rewarded by my bots. If I flagged/blacklisted without doing research, that would be extremely irresponsible and that's what I have a problem with.
Hell, half the time I know it is stolen/plagiarized but I don't flag or blacklist because I have no proof.
If you checked and just didn't notice, hey we all make mistakes, but I do have a problem with someone flagging for something without doing proper due diligence.
Dear,nonameslefttouse I'm not joining you.!!
image theft is not an endless result, we share it on our pages with quotes or samples from some places. Those who think like you or those who write such comments by jealousy say that they do not have any serious information about this issue. They write comments because they do not have any serious information about this issue.
@themarkymark
Who's jealous? What?
I think something got lost in translation here. It's okay. It happens.
Oh! If you think I'm jealous of rewards, you'd be mistaken. This post isn't here because it is popular. The author purchased votes and bought this slot. It's not here because people liked it. You've been misled by the author. Welcome to Steemit!
