Question

in help •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hey guys.

Firstly forgive my crazy nooooobyness, but I thought you could share content on here that you enjoyed. I shared an article from the Guardian (https://steemit.com/restaurant/@bigjones/hilariously-scathing-fancy-restaurant-review) and got the cheetah bot saying it was copied.

I know the point is to create new stuff but I though curating content was cool too?

Do I need to put a particular tag when sharing content, or something like that? If the answer is it has to be original pls do let me know and I'll take the post down.

Want to make sure I'm doing this right! :)

Thanks boys n gals.

Hi @bigjones,

The cheetah bot is there to make note of duplicate content and list it's original source. There's no issue with sharing the article but a simple link could have done the job.

Usually it's best practice to put any quoted text in an inline quote like this.
And quote the source underneath.

That should help to prevent any further misunderstandings.

Hope this helps.

That's rly useful. Thanks @elliotjgardner
