I totally agree with the point of over copying from a source simply because it's referenced. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for proffering a solution to this cheetah problem @steemstem . Cheetah has been making alot of mistakes these days and comment on unplagarized posts. I really intend to know what exactly you have to do to put great posts in your limelight

Thanks for everything you doing @suesa and everyone involved with the whole @steemstem project.

I can't believe that people actually complain about not getting a @steemstem upvote, there's so many posts with the steemSTEM tag! I love reading as much of them as I can, but there just isn't enough time in a day to do so.

 Just keep writing your posts and if it is good enough, more often than not it will get upvoted.

I am glad this post really clear things out. cheetah commenting on your post isn't the end of the world, you just have to know your mistake and make adequate steps to correct them. Some of my articles have been commented on by cheetah in the past, and i just ignored them and kept writing better articles. 

sometimes though you might unintentionally make a definition as it is in some journal or website, but then it's important to always quote your sources.

Even though I am trying to save on VP, this is worth a full vote and a full resteem.

The Steemstem standards are actually an exemplary practice based on ethics, copyright standards and often simply common sense. 

I have not written steemstem related articles for a couple of weeks, because I did not have the time I wish to devote (but fear not friends, I shall return 😂)

If this will not cause a problem, I am including more information regarding the [cheetah](https://steemit.com/steemit/@katerinaramm/ooops-a-cheetah-who-is-a-robot-commented-on-my-post-what-does-this-mean) mostly aiming to provide new steemians with more information about it.

And to conclude..

Steemit (and specifically steemstem) aims to provide original content, new thoughts and ideas. Please be extra careful and before even thinking about complaining, take some time to research, ask, read posts that are getting more attention.  (There is always a reason for the extra attention)

Respect, Recognition, Rewards  are not just Received .. 
You have to **earn** them and you have to be part of the community, with thoughtful comments, provide new insights and your own point of view.

With lots of admiration for everyone devoting substantial energy and time for making this platform a place of mutual respect and multi-dimensional knowledge.

Thank you so much, I see why my post wasn't curated at all, but I won't relent because it transcends above just getting curated but impacting knowledge is my key drive, thanks for the clarity.

To many people join steem with the "get rich" mentality and seem to resort to posting nonsense in an attempt to get upvotes. I haven't been on steemit long, but I'm glad the community seems to be taking a stance on that :)

Well explained and articulated. I hope this clears the questions of many and changes their approaches to this whole thing. Thank you very much for clarifying.

@eurogee

you always share best content :) i appreciate your posts :) @steemstem

How one can know that he or she is blacklisted?

I dont like @cheetah hahahhahaha

I know. Thanks for your post how giftme a new information

This is an eye opener;thanks for sharing this well articulated piece.
    I have heard of steemstem a couple of times,i think I should go check it out..You just added value to my day!!!Thank you.

@steemstem thanks for this public information. I used to write science related posts and decided to be professional because of #STEEMSTEM, but in the process i got an upvote from @cheetah. Initially i felt bad, because my post was flagged. I later got to understand why.

This post has clarified my doubts, and i may resume my scientific posts. Thanks once again for enlightening me.
@antigenx

I found you on twitter and appreciate what you are doing. 

But twitter is a place to promote steemit and try to get new users - not a place to educate steemers for the most part. There are less than 300 of us actively on twitter and of course, millions who are not. 

So I cannot retweet this post. Probably discord, other chat places, or steemit fb groups would be your best bet to promote this type of post. You have a lot of good info here and many steemers do not understand it. 

If you could start tweeting out some of the cool posts that make it into your criteria - that would be awesome and I would definitely send that out to my followers. If content creators see the type of work you support - they might make the jump and try here.

Wow, wow, wow!! This is lovely. I thought having cheetah on a post is a clear and stamped disqualification for Steemstem's vote. It's nice to know that it's not. 

Referencing a post is nice but over copying from the source because it's referenced is uncalled for.

Wonderful heads up!

A question. 

I write posts on advanced subjects (Astrophysics, particle physics, cosmology) which I try to make accessible to all,  even non scientists, while still going in quite some detail. This is why I do it in series, so I can progressively guide the reader in the depths of things.

Many of my readers are regular ones, but I do think also of the new comers that discover my words for the first time. These need a little summary of the basics of the subject to enjoy the content of the post.

One solution is to give links to my previous work, sometimes to a section where there is a summary of basics. Yet, a new reader will probably not want to click on the link, search for the relevant paragraph, read it, come back, start reading the post, realising they need to review the basics again, go back to the summary, come back again etc... In our days of instantaneity, this is not very practical.

So I started adding an appendix to the articles  with just what they need to know  on the subject to fully enjoy the post.

The thing is that what they need to know is often common to  many posts. And rewriting that appendix with different wording  for each post  just to avoid Cheetah is a real pain.

My latest post, I really didn't feel  like rewriting the appendix so I just copy pasted the content needed as a quote like this:

> that's how a quote looks like

I never received a Cheetah notice, so am not complaining. Yet, I suspect that doing this on a regular basis could bring the attention of the bot.

In that persepctive, I feel entirely justified to quote large sections of some of my previous posts as long they serve the role of appendix. Do you have a solution to avoid Cheetah taking it as plagiarism when doing so?

Am happy a detailed post has finally been made to help tackled a lot of question, am glad you nailed every angle beyond expectation @suesa
Thanks to team steemstem for making this community a reality.

so useful, i did'nt know some of these rules; thank you

Thanks for the update and clarification.

Well I wrote so many posts on steemit so far and never once got cheetah-botted. And the same is true for countless other posters. Not saying that the bot is perfect, but those complaining probably need to do some self-reflecting.

Great post with very useful information!

Thanks for the unique advice and information. It will help all science and non science writers to be guided. Thank you #steemstem

>Your post reads like a Wikipedia article and is as exciting as a soggy piece of bread.

Just a heads up on this criterion. I'm writing an article coming up in a few weeks about why soggy bread *is* exciting. At least to historians and microbiologists.(It is not about penicillin, either)  ;)
