My original post with same name gives examples. It seems to me that new users arriving to slowly discover that they've been misled by current posts about steemits OWN WEBSITE will have a hard job believing anything else they read here!

It would be great to see a thorough, clear explanation of how steemit works today given by a highly reputeable author. Inclusion of things like correct attribution for images, the attitude towards people asking for upvotes or followers, self-voting and copy-pasting of comments would be a kind addition too, perhaps in an etiquette type post. New users should not be blamed for following the now controversial advice given in high value posts!
