The Misplacement

It hasn’t happened often, and I have never done it intentionally, but occasionally one of my posts will end up where it shouldn’t be. This happened again last night. Normally, I scrutinise the group code numbers and make sure they are correct. Last night I meant to type in the code for the **Foodies Bee Hive** and instead put in the code for the **OCD community**. I post primarily via **Ecency** on my iPad Pro which means I hardly use my PC any more for block-chain related activities and if I don’t put any tags in the post, it goes to the default **Esteem community**.

The Mistake

Once something is posted in the wrong spot, there is a tendency to want to correct the mistake. Why? Because you can **upset an entire community** of people, and no one decent really wants to do that. You also don’t want to be accused of **double posting** your content as it’s seen as **double-dipping** from the reward pool.

The Overcorrection

Unfortunately, you cannot delete anything on the block-chain. You can however, edit the post once posted, hopefully before it gets *too many upvotes.* This can lead to an overcorrection. See, what I should have done was just left the post as it was, where it was: [Beef Schnitzel at Beach Hotel](https://hive.blog/hive-174578/@shaidon/beef-schnitzel-at-beach-hotel-seaford-park-fff) here in the **OCD** community. It’s still a quality post, and it will do no harm there. However, it was intended for an entirely different audience, that of the **Foodies Bee Hive** community. My overcorrection was from panicking, waiting the 5 minutes to avoid the anti spam feature, and then reposting with the correct hashtag this resulted in the *dreaded* **double post**. So, which post do I edit? The one with the least upvotes is what I ended up choosing. I could have just left the double post as it was, but I edited it, for honesty, to tell people to ignore the post and redirect them to the original post. I normally get quite a good upvote from the **Foodie Bee Hive** community via **Foodie tokens** and so I messed up **big** on this one. I also got a **hefty downvote**, understandable in this instance as it was seen to be protecting the rewards pool. I am lucky it wasn’t worse. I am reluctant to post content here at the best of times, and mistakes like this don’t help. A stressful day, lack of sleep, and late nights do not make for the best posts and it does pay, literally, to be *ever-vigilant* before posting content on the block-chain. Anyway, lesson learned (for now at least). See you in the next, properly placed post! ![img_3104.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYxgiwX5LjH9VPP97rWhdBtNUfv7RtmspAdHPYt6KcdF6/img_3104.jpg) ***Shaidon’s Hive Seal Of Approval***
