Users need to remember that if they encounter a post that was just copied or is a fake but they already upvoted, that they can still reverse it so that they don't receiver any Steem.
If you upvote something and it goes up 2 cents and later find out that it's a fake, you can simply click it again and the vote will be gone and so will be the tip.
