@thebusycat One of those accounts i mentioned, which is a friend or family member of yours, had multiple posts edited to hide actual plagiarism. They also have posted the same art multiple times as well.
Then karen may have directly plagiarised by using the app and filters or at the least copied another person's art and passed it off as her own with only a mention of having found it on facebook. That's still plagiarising someone's work and financially profiting from the other person's work.
There is another artist that seems to have two different styles and has some work very similar to one of the directly plagiarised artist. All three of these accounts have exchanged money with you. As a curator, we look out for plagiarism and unsourced materials that require accountability and recognition. I hope that what you are saying is true and i do understand friends and family members helping each other out to make things more simple. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt to everyone.
However, if they are all your friends and family members you should all get on the same page about what the etiquette is here on Hive before they all get their reputations tarnished forever. We have a zero tolerance policy for plagiarism here on Hive. Recycling posts or double and triple dipping the rewards pool is also a big no no as you pointed out to Karen.
I made two posts that go over a lot of the dos and don'ts for Hive. Maybe you could all spend some time together going over these issues so as not to break the rules any further.
Please check those out when you get some time and make sure NOT to do the things in there it warns against doing.
Your account was the least suspect of all the ones i tagged... so maybe since you are handling the money you can take responsibility for helping them all get on the right page moving forward.
