In essence the crime here is because I stated I didn't own the rights
We do not support monetizing unoriginal content that amounts to little more than changing the order/spelling of words (a.k.a. plagiarism). This is especially true in regards to the misuse of content owned by Gods Unchained, directly.
This is crap to me.
Whether or not you believe "this is crap" is irrelevant in this case. The entire reason you were receiving upvotes/curation was because it was believed you were creating this lore on your own and thus owned the rights for posting it.
We did not mute your account, entirely, because we understand we initially missed the issue. You only received a warning because we recognize you put effort into these posts, even if it wasn't what we originally thought.
I never stated I owned this stories and I made sure I always state that on my every post.
Unfortunately, this isn't true as is evident by the following:
- Your first and second posts of this nature were based on Chapter 1: Citadel of the Gods. You didn't site your source in the original post, and you recycled the post a week later (this time with a source).
- The next two posts in the series (Lysander & Neferu) have no mention of their original stories.
- You added a source for the next post, but "All resources are found HERE" is a tad misleading. In no way does it indicate that you are rewriting the lore posts provided by the GU team.
We also noticed you've been voting for your own posts while largely ignoring posts from others in the Gods Unchained community. This is generally frowned upon for Hive, as a whole, and we are focused on encouraging engagement between members of our community.
TL;DR - Despite your protest, there are patterns in your posting that strongly suggest you're attempting to "farm" upvotes from the generosity of the Gods Unchained community. We've given you the opportunity to prove us wrong, but we will not be reversing our stance on these rehashed lore posts.
