Achievement 3 by @peterkeyz || Task : Content Etiquette

Good day fellow steemians, the admin @cryptokannon and all greeters of this community. I want to use this medium to welcome new members to this platform. I am @peterkeyz.

I am here to do my achievement3 post, with the task: Content etiquette.

So I will be talking about steemit etiquette in this achievement3 post.

What is Proof of brain:

Proof of brain means earning reward through the brain. i.e reward from original post and not from copying other people's post . Steem Blockchain values creativity, so every steem user should be creative. It is possible for every user to find their own area in steemit. User can post varieties of things including article, photo, art work and video.

Producing original content

Before I explain what original intent is, I will like to talk about plagiarism.

Plagiarism

This is the copy or making using of other people's work without giving credit to the owner of the work. Plagiarism can occur in different ways;

• plagiarism can be in form of written work of another person, used by a user without referencing the original author of the work. If there is a need to include other people's work in a post, then the source of the post should be included. The use of quotation mark is another means of showing that the work is from another author.

• plagiarism can be using of image without permission from the source. It is preferred to use image from free image site. But the source to the image site must be included.

Steemit etiquette

Etiquette is a polite behaviour for every user in a community. What are these etiquettes as far as steemit is concerned;

• Participation: it is good to be a participant of a community than being someone that will just come, post and run away, just to come back the other time to check if his post has been curated for him to drop another post. Steemit is dealing with people that is how far you can build your environment with people. And how are you going to do this, you do this by visiting other people's post, curate other people's post and comment.

• Another thing is not to over-post. Some people believe in posting more, auto posting is good but you should consider not posting too much so that you will have enough time to create quality content.

• Do not plagiarise. Plagiarism is not a good thing to do. Steemit community is a platform created to improve the life of user even intellectually. So users are to post quality content of their own it may not be too lengthy but it will be original content.

• Do not tag wrongly. This is called tag spamming. This is a situation whereby a wrong tag is included in a post. Every post should go to where it belongs so as to benefits does that we visit the tagged community.

• Do not plead or bribe for votes. Some people are fond of pleading for votes from other users. Some even go as far as bribing other uses to get upvotes from them, this is totally bad.

Conclusion

Steemit is a platform that supports quality content and not plagiarise content. Plagiarism will do more harm to the person plagiarising. Therefore, every user you stay away from it. It is better to focus on your area of specialisation, the area at which you will be able to produce quality content without plagiarising.

Declaration:

I have read and understood the Steemit Etiquette on Steemit Community and will do my best to embrace them.
