If you don't like how things are managed in the hive, buy more hive and power it up.
Selling, especially at a loss, only feeds into their hands.

What exactly is meant by exclusive writing? I don't understand why I get a warning for never posting someone else's article. As a writer and journalist since 1994, I know about copyright, plagiarism and respect for the hard work of others.

And I never do plagiarism. My posts on the Hive platform, I always prioritize. My content is mostly about news. After I posted on Hive, then I posted it where I work, at Kabartamiang.com and news.unimal.ac.id. The last media that I mentioned is internal campus media which has no economic interest.

So posting on Hive remains a priority. Is it wrong and not justified after posting on Hive, then posting in Indonesian on other platforms? Is that an error here?

Please explain @Hivewatcher

Well, I was blacklisted a month and a half or two months after I opened my hive account. It was for 4 lines of crap I put in to add historical context to my travels. I'm a writer, and sometimes I take notes in my notebook or my cell phone of some places I visit so I can later review them and write about it or I can write my own stories. As I was writing about something I visited some time ago I didn't remember what was mine and what the tour guide had said. It turned out that those 4 lines I wrote just as the tour guide said, were written the same as on another website I don't know about. 

Personally, I think that if I wanted to have plagiarized something I would have made the whole post plagiarized, not 4 lines over 3000 words in a post, where the photos were mine and the rest of the text as well. 

However it doesn't matter if you are new or clumsy on the platform, because they gave me the punishment of writing 60 posts for my appeal, which I am still fulfilling. 

The problem is not the spaminator bot, which only removes an annoying, but small percentage of quantity. The problem is people like meritocrazy, samuraiscam, and others who follow the voting trail of this bot and downvote you by removing large percentages of your post without even checking why you are blacklisted and without checking that since that post for which you were blacklisted, you have not made the same mistake again. 

I think that since neoxian made the post there was a before and after, at least with users who wrote some post with artificial intelligence. Now they get a warning first before being blacklisted. I didn't get any warning and it didn't matter that I was a new user. I would like that, in their work, they include that first warning for all people, even more if they are new users, because otherwise they take away the desire to continue posting. 

And people who follow spaminator's downvote trail, if you downvote me, let it be for some objective reason that you didn't like something (because everyone is free to vote or downvote what they want) but not simply because someone is blacklisted. It's very annoying that they don't check beyond the why and shit on your work and the time you spent in making a 100% genuine post. 

I don't see it as fair, in my opinion. But I live in Spain and I have my job with which I pay my house and my bills, and in hive I found a place to write and have some extra. But there are people from other countries that maybe have nothing and they are screwing them by taking like 5 or 10 hives in every post. I think it's not the way, that's my humble opinion.

No system is perfect. But this is for some reason apperently the best we got at the moment :)

Instead of this bitching and whining, you could make your own project aiming to remove abuse on hive a better way that Hivewatchers are doing. 

They should downvote the post they think plagiarized  not all those incoming pay-out posts.. They should consider that. If they had this AI Detector, I think they should calibrate it as well.HAHAHA.. 

1. Hivewatchers was once weaponized against me, because I disagreed with one of their members.
I publicly shamed the person, who did it.
I was taken off the list the next day.
They enforce rules arbitrarily against people they dislike.

2. Even most obvius scammers, will act like they 'didn't do nothing'.
I tried fighting tag abuse here on hive and after the 3rd discussion, I was so annoyed that I just started flagging without even commenting.

I kind of get it why they behave that way, but they need to be checked.
It's a nasty business.

I have said this before.  Just because someone recommends something it doesn't mean you value their advice.  Where is the feed on the front-ends that allows me to ignore votes from a list off accounts I disagree with?  Even add more priority to those that are down-voted by such?   I just noticed peakd has an option to ignore the comments that poster ignores.  That's the direction of a user feature.

If this feed needs to be developed, we could call it the [Streisand Feed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect).

There is no one on the Hive blog that speaks the truth. Hivewatchers do not have to invest 500 dollars. Downvoting the downloads with the renters. And silencing the one who says. That's unfair to me. The third person is how they are ruling and deceiving us. The third person is how they are ruling and deceiving us. I have come this far after working day and night and spending money but the way they have treated me is pathetic. I have been struggling to post one a day for a year now. Finally Al is blacklisting complaints about usage. I complained to @hive.fund. Thanks @decoding

The people you speak against are bigman many HP owners. How can we small users protest with them. I think the authorities are hostage to them.

You might have made a better case if you hadn't quoted world travel pro. The man's a proven liar and buffoon

Hi there @decoding 

I don't know why are you tagging me in your posts. Please, untag me from your future posts, thanks. 

In all honesty, I have never heard about them until a week or so ago. When I also was flagged and downvoted. But for what I saw. I really did not understand their principles and how do they go about their "watching" 🤔 good there are more people talking about it

Grumbling is OK, but @world-travel-pro shouldn't be part of your argument, he's a world class idiot and went about destroying his own reputation.

Thank you for  taging me , i just give up hive also others account that you mentioned like @galaktica and @arcana007 and @vision12 all they give up hive i even got blacklist  .so i said bye to hive at once 
Good luck for you guys

HP is the key they hold to bully others & of course draining the DHF too ;)

While I agree they are unfair, rude and unprofessional and an embarrassment to the community I will say, this is not the way to fight being downvoted.  It always ends in rage quitting other people getting sucked into the argument and worse.

You would likely to do better by sucking it up, and just keep on posting.

As long as the large whale accounts (only takes 2) support them, there is just really not much you can do and that is simply dpos in action.

Good Luck and sorry to see another fun account on it's way out.
