Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,
Today I wanted to present you another case of ABUSE on Steemit platform. Actually that was a call from the user himself, of course he did not want to tell that he is Abuser but he asked me to view his „art“, leaving this comment under my last post. Of course, I wanted to visit the blog of the user to see if he might be someone who needs attention.
As you might know today is the day of @art-venture magazine therefore, my hubby @myskye was already checking for new posts for magazine and he went to see if the user has something extraordinary and we were SHOCKED to see how impudent the user was to claim that the works are his. They are stolen from others.
Let’s go step by step.
This is user’s blog, opened in May2021 @kaafianmol. Claims to be from India
Stolen post and I mean the whole posts text word in word with the idea of creating the Art, all the drawing steps and even the Signature of....@ezunjoshy
Here is the Original user, who is very well known to many Artists and who we, @art-venture know for couple of years, @ezunjoshy is from Nigeria and he posted this post about 2 month ago.
@ezunjoshy has his original style of drawing, I have mentioned to him already that his way is very distinct way of creating portrait and very easy recognizable. Also you can see his Signature. Please visit his blog and you will see what I mean
The post made me laugh, this user even did bother to change the text from previous when he presented a dog, look this is a HOUSE and see what the user say: DOG
Unfortunately, this house is also stolen:
But also, I am wondering if those people who were taged:
@steemchiller, @seo-boss and @mister-omortson have noticed that.
Under this post he has the links to posts that are stolen.
The case of @kaafianmol is the worst case of ABUSE without paying attention to the property of others and claiming that he did it, even within Steemit platform arrogantly taking the post of @ezunjoshy and word in word presenting as his own
- I noticed that he is posting in community “Account Booster” as he has a tag
Therefore, I would like to call for Community Admin and Moderators
But also I would like to let @steemcurator01 and @endingplagiarism, if it is possible to make a label like “Known Plagiarist” for such users. Such user should be blacklisted not only in this community, because they will start to do so in other communities. That is why if there would be such label for abusers that would make it easy for others to recognize abuser on early stage.
Please do not pass by, you post could be the next that is stolen and used by abusers.
If you like what we do, please support our Initiative, it takes a lot of time and research to collect the evidence and we are working hard on keeping Steem blockchain free of Plagiarism and Abuse. But also to protect Visual Art on Steemit.
Благодарю Стеф за упоминание!
Я ни разу не давал этому участнику upvote. И похоже я был прав.
Звание Staff sergeant имеет условный характер, что-товроде шутки. Но я обращу внимание @seo-boss, это он распределяет ранги.
Может быть он посадит нарушителя на гаупт вахту)

Да, действительно, наверное у тебя было предчувствие. А насчет звания, я понимаю, но для других будет казаться что он на белом листе. Дайте ему звание плагиариста :)

👍 I've visited a few more of his posts to help get the message across.
I don't think it's possible to have a tag across multiple communities and I think that's down to each community to assign their own tags.

This is so embarassing doing this kind of plagiarism. Stealing from steemit itself and posting there is - like here said is the worst kind of it all. It would affect the credibility of the real creator.
It should brought into attention of newcomers in all cost. A strong mentality against plagiarism should grow with every new comer into steemit. I think awareness programmes with rewards for helping to find malpractices like these would be helpful too.

Thank you for that, we all have to work as a team. Hope the curators will look at the blogs of users before giving them upvotes and not only at the posts that are in their community.

It is a pleasure to be able to find this abuse. I can imagine your reaction, we had the same situation couple of years ago and I was furious.

Hola stef1. Bueno de acuerdo con comentarios anteriores, creo debe haber mas de un plagiario en la comunidad; sin saber si tenemos mas en otras comunidades. De acuerdo contigo en etiquetarlos para sí saber quienes son. Es lamentable este tipo de situaciones; pero siempre hay vivos a costilla de los demás. Saludos.

Wow, that really sucks. I do get suspicious with some post, so in doubt I just carry on, but what you describes goes pretty far. Tagging these users would be a great idea. 👍

Great job @ stef1!
This is deliberate and dastardly work, this is common theft.
"Plagiarism" sounds too soft for this case. Such people should be branded "thief" and blacklisted on the blockchain.

Me llena de mucha tristeza al ver este tipo de post, ya que el ser humano cuenta con un potencial y creatividad tan extraordinario, que si tan solo nos diremos a la tarea de pensar un poco y abrir nuestra mente a las posibilidades... nos diéramos cuenta que crear algo por nosotros mismo es mil veces mas hermoso que tomar algo de otras personas, ya que esa la esencia de otro artista y ahora cada uno debe brillar creando su propia esencia en esta vida, y aun que quizás otros lo puedan hacer mucho mejor o mas lindo que tu... te debes de sentir dichoso de ti mismo por que es un arte tuyo, que salio de tu creatividad y esfuerzo y no hay nada mas lindo que reconocer nuestro propio arte, y que por muy poco que podamos obtener de el... es bastante ya que es nuestro!! Es original!! los invito a todos a siempre a ser originales ya que no hay nada mejor que ser nosotros mismos, muchos éxitos a todos y muchas bendiciones!!!

It's pretty sad the lengths people go to get some rewards, even more sad if the original creator would join to find out someone's been making money off of their content. Good job looking out for them.

While I'm here and it's a big relevant to art, what are your thoughts on drawings like this getting trending attention and $50 rewards?

Hi @blazinga, as you might have seen the post had majority of the upvote from @tipu $35 and from @bot-api $9,66. Those two are like bidvote, that means people pay to pay the votes. The user paid 11SBD and for another 2,84 SBD. SO he paid himself to buy votes, which is noting illegal. There are such services existing and people who want to boost their post they will do it.

Okay, would it be okay to downvote posts you think shouldn't have that much votes or is that frowned upon? I was thinking (I'm planning on powering up some STEEM later once I've learned more about this platform) that if such activity is downvoted maybe they wouldn't buy as big votes for such low effort drawings? Or is that not recommended.
Thank you for your reply,
Blay

You can downvote anyone where you think that it has not deserved but there are many of such services and many user buying votes for their posts, some of them have sometimes only one photo or just few sentences

or blog of this user.

Therefore, it is like sand on a beach. I would advise to build up your SP and to get more engaged in activities of communities to grow your SP

Okay hmm, do you recommend buying votes? Are they profitable?
