Someone has brought to my attention that they think all my posts are stolen and considered plagiarism. This is not a bad thing because it makes me want to change my header I have been using. it was a screen shot of a pict that I stuck in a meme maker and altered. Not a biggie. I can do better and maybe his fee fees wont be so hurt.
It leaves me with a lot of questions also.
He flaged a couple of my posts and reported them to steemcleaners and he flagged them too. The links he is saying I copy and pasted does not have any text he is saying I copied. Just screen shots of definitions.

So maybe this post will be considered plagiarism for my screen shots again.
Obviously a lot of the pictures are screenshots of definitions
from different sites. Is this snippit plagiarism?
Also if the screen shot is of something that is free
is that a problem? What if you type something into google image and it is one of the first to pop up in a steemit color?
Is it wrong for me to take a screen shot of a pict off google for refrence?
Everything I typed out was my own work.
Claiming my post is copy pasta and reporting it to steemleaners but never actually supplying any links to text That you are claim I copied from? Just a site that is the equivalent of a dictionary of fallacys that I took screen shots of to post under my text.
If I need to start posting links to everything in all screenshots I take please let me know. besides posting links to stuff does not cover you, you need permission from the creator if we are trying to say this does not fall under fair use. I have never once claimed the picts were made by me.
Yeah, what about fair use? they are snippits single frames, not full video. What about memes? does all of this not fall under fair use?
All input is welcomed as to what I should do to make my steemit experience better. I do not feel my posts are plagiarism but I do accept that I might be wrong. After I figure out if I am in the right or wrong I will decide if I should try to get steemcleaners to remove all the flags.
Thanks for putting up with all my questions. I need input to help myself understand the situation fully.
