You might think that copy/pasting content from the internet is easier than putting in a real effort, but I assure it is not. Because when you

It's obvious. And it's annoying.

source ➤ if you need to use something that's not yours, source it.

And when you get called out on it, change your damn behavior! "Sorry, I'm new." or "I will do so in the future." are one time use kinda comments. You either learn from your mistake, or you don't.


If you don't learn from your mistake on this blog, that's gonna start earning you flags. You see...

I've got flagging in my blood. I earned a varsity letter in fucking flagging. (Please read that in a sarcastic tone, this is more funny than "serious I'm gonna flag you". haha)

Yeah, I'm old, I know. The only flags I get to play with nowadays is here on Steemit. And to be honest, I hate doing it. Y'all, can you please just come up with your own original content for the Random Challenges of the Day! For shit's sake, I'm not stupid.


All you have to do is put in A LITTLE

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I want everyone here on Steemit to succeed. And furthermore, I want to help people succeed on Steemit. That's why I do the Random Challenge every day. It's not a shit post that I can self upvote to make bukoo bucks. It's my way of engaging the community and guiding those that are lost. Steeming correctly takes practice. Knowing what to post and when to post it can sometimes be tricky. But if you stay with me, engage by the rules and participate with originality, I think you'll see that it benefits us both.


I don't want to flag my followers. I want to help you understand what you're doing wrong and help you fix it. But if you don't take my advice and keep repeating the same mistakes...I have no choice.


Common mistakes I'm seeing a lot of:

  1. Asking for upvotes and follows. Just don't.
  2. Copying content from the internet without a source. That's plagiarism guys, should be self explanatory.
  3. Not reading the rules of the challenges and posting entries that are invalid. Check to make sure you've understood all the instructions before posting your entry. If there's anything that's not clear, please feel free to ask me questions. :)

Ok, that's it. /rant

I feel much better now that I got that off my chest. Love and light to all who read this.

Except shitty spammers, seriously, you're harshing my steemit buzz...bazinga

Yes!!! I'm so glad you picked up on that. I freaking love Eddie izzard. 😍

Me too. 😁
I can't go to the zoo without hollering about monkeys on branches in French.

Woooww girl, yeess, sometimes you just gotta say it before burst. I can truly say that with your challenges I've learned a loootttt, about how to post, how's the payment, that being constant and original helps more than anything!

That's why I'm gonna say THANK YOU! Even to those spam comments you have the best way to say what you think. 👏

Thanks, i appreciate that. 😊

I’m starting to reply to my spammers with this link

https://steemit.com/steemcleaners/@steemcleaners/the-art-of-commenting

Thanks. That came in handy. 🤣⬇

That’s crazy! Sometimes i can understand putting a small comment like nice! Or cool! But with a post like this you still got spammers! Guess with the more followers you got the more spam that comes along with it.

Woop woop!!! Haha i meant to say , wow i love your post you have the best content. 😂😂. Jsk

Flagging all these spammers will take a colossal effort. Thankfully, there are people like you willing to waste voting powers to flag and downvotes these suckers. Of course same thing can be said for plagiarist. Though most of them are new and not aware of the unwritten rules of the platform, so they can be forgiven if they are willing to change their ways and improve theirselves. Thanks for pointing this out @khackett.

it's not a waste if that stops some spammers

I love spam

Goose BUMPS...

😂😆

S P A M !! Now upvote me! LOL. J/K. Don’t 🚩 me.
Haha. Nice rant. Good luck taking down the Spammers.

The perfect rant.
Even as a minnow I get tired of seeing so many plagiarized work.
It's unfortunate that my reputation is still too low to flag meaningfully.
