Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,
Today we wanted to present another case of the user who presented the works of others as his own. This time it took some time to reveal him and even he managed to trick us too.
While previous post people are asking how to recognize such persons and suspect that they are not real author. The answer is it is difficult but still few things might help:
- The user usually has no thumbnail of his blog, very often people do not want that others know him and the blog is not decorated.
- They usually do not say the location, either leave it empty or write something like: “Earth”, “our Planet”, “Globe” or “America” that is again so that people can’t locate him.
- Usually when they post, there are very little written and very often there are some grammar errors in text
- Those people do not like to communicate, simply reply “thank you” or often just ignoring the comments
I also heard from other users saying: “Mute them and you can’t see them” Yes I can do it but them I am closing my eye to abuse.
Would you walk away if you see that someone is beaten up by other? Would you close you eyes if you see that a thief is stealing something from another person’s handbag?
Me not, either in real life or in Steem.
This user we noticed when he was posting drawings or sketches, they are simple but very well done. Also seeing the steps of process it was looking like he really did them him selves or from a tutorial.
We have nothing against anyone who is using tutorials for their works. Tutorials are for that so that we improve and learn. But in this case after few sketches that were upvoted by @steemcurator02 he presented few other posts with completely different style and medium. Of course it is normal that people try different things but he did not write much about that.
- That is his post:
Luckily this time we have found this website with original drawings, where the author has no problem to present himself and his work.
The other three works are from Jay Lee Painting technique with her Youtube channel. The only reason why we could not reveal the abuser earlier because he made snapshots from videos. That is why image search machine is not always can find it. Here you can see the stolen and original.
We have left the message under @moukim’s posts with the links to Original author’s post but last 3 days there was no reaction, even seeing that he is caught up he has not deleted the posts.
That is why we are doing this post.
Actually his reaction was to “Mute” or “ignore” and of course “Unfollow” us @stef1 @art-venture and @seo-boss
Therefore “ignore setting is good for us because we will not be seeing such abuse but those users also will set “ignore” such account that are fighting plagiarism.
You have seen and read this post please be aware about this abuser. We found a thief and unveil his actions, as well as showed you our position. It is of course up to you to decide what to do.
We hope you have had enough evidences and from our side we are going to blacklist this users in our community and we would like to call for all Art curation accounts:

Thank you for this one @stef1.
We have cancelled our votes on the current posts.
Will need to look out to see if the person comes back under a new account.

It is difficult to deal with such users, they are like mushrooms after rain, if one account is caught they will create another. I think we need a group of people who would be doing the same work as Steemcleaners int eh past. Have you had any thoughts about that? I believe since we do not have such people the abusers feel free and the number of them is growing.
From our community "world of xpilar" we have an internal channel where we discuss such abusers, investigating first and them as a group of people decide what to do. But honestly saying even in our small community there are already few of such cases and it takes a lot of time and detective work.
Obviously Steem is becoming busier and there are many new users who have not been here the time when Steemcleaners or Jaguar.force were around and may not know what is OK to post and what is not.
I must say in couple of cases Steemcleaners sorted our my issues when someone completely copied and pasted my works without changing even a word. I had a great feeling to be save on Steem blockchain.

He also steals texts, e.g. Netflix reviews...
Good work, @stef1, but I'm afraid it will become a bottomless pit... :-(
Anyway, have a nice Sunday and best regards to the whole family,

That user has no respect and no shame, he just blindly keep copying Internet material and pasting into his blog. By the way he recalled his blog name as "g2g". I saw his most recent one too.
Wir haben ein langes Wochenende, weil der Montag ein Feiertag ist.

I think there are so many of them! I'm not willing to do a fulltime job in this respect, I'm just a little more disappointed by "my platform" every time a new case comes up.
Have a nice free Monday :-))

These types of people end up embarrassing me and feeling sorry for me at the same time.
They hurt, and they need to be neutralized.
They are cunning, they make video screen captures because they know that it makes it harder for search engines to find them, and they also cut the images for the same purpose. It's a clear case of plagiarism. Thoughtful, doing it with the full awareness that it is failing and doesn't care.
Then such a user should not be welcome anywhere, and should be left without any economic benefit for something that is not his.
Good job @stef1
