Hi @allasyummyfood. A few of these are getting splashed around when these situations are identified:
Hi. Your comment has been identified as a potential Pixie comment. Please follow the link if you would like an explanation.

Thank you
don't worry, his rep is now at 13.....I will write him a personal note, and if he continues, he will become invisible.
thank you Stellabelle!
here's what I wrote:
Dear totalgyan,
Your reputation is now at 13 because you are lying to the Steemit community and plagiarizing other people's work. Steemit does not tolerate stealing artwork and photos from others, lying and providing zero value.
This is your warning. I could easily drop your reputation into negative zone, which would mean that your future posts (all of them) would be most invisible.
You have a choice: tell us the truth or be cast into the Steemit dungeon.
The choice is yours. I will be looking to see what you do.
If you continue to steal, lie and cheat, I will have no choice but to flag you into the Steemit dungeon.
Very disappointed to find you doing this.....lying is the most disappointing.
thank you! We wait to hear from you!
That would make him an 'invisible gyan'...
Good work guys, nothing worse that blatant plagiarism on a creative platform like Steemit.
Kudos!
@stellabelle, I believe in the freedoms of speech, press, arms, religions, and it seems you are attacking people who disagree with you and that might be kind of like a double standard
she is just attacking plagiarism... plagiarism is not freedom of speech...
Well within the structure of the platform to flag plagiarism
There is a difference between disagreeing with someone and stealing from someone.
You are wrong, but these are your thoughts. I have the right to counter with my own thoughts; I would never dream of suggesting your comment should be removed.
Nobody, from what I've seen here, wants to censor anything. We just want our work to be respected as our hard work, not lifted wholesale by those who are too lazy or too dull to produce their own.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
@catweasel stealing? who stole anything??
"We just want our work to be respected as our hard work" you are saying OUR WORK but did the reported person take your work or @allasyummyfood 's work?? or someone elses work? yes he took pictures from other websites but how can you be sure he doesn't have persmission to do that??
last point what about your picture??
@tarek-h He claimed as if they were made by himself which obviously were not. It IS stealing if he's claiming it as his own, and he did.
Also, funny how you created JUST an new account to rant on this article.
IF you did your research well (which you also obviously did not), you can find the terms of use on their webpage saying:

I rest my case.
firstly yes my account is totally new and I don't have any post but I didn't creat it for this article like you said "Also, funny how you created JUST an new account to rant on this article." no I didn't and this post was created yesterday
secondly I don't know the reported guy and I am not him if you think I am and I am not defending him I am just asking people some questions specially when they say they dont like things and they are doing them
well maybe I didn't do my researchbut how is that obvious to you?? don't try to be too smart you may be wrong sometimes and I may aswell
yeah you seem like you might be him or something, just created a new account and your reputation is already below 25 , so you must have annoyed people already or spammed the platform!
whether something is canned or not does not mean that a randomly new and recreated message that has not been seen before is then therefore genuine and real and not spam..... a new message and a new comment can be just as fake as a repeated comment...... but how many times does a celebrity sign his name to thousands of fans the same thing and people do not get mad at celebrities when they spam copy paste their name and some generic message to their fans..... therefore, it is not that simple
i think you are missing the point here and even if you are right, the guy is no celebrity and again fans ask for the signatures of celebrities, they just don't go about signing every stuff they get in contact with, do they?
yeah i agree @darkerhorse this @joeyarnoldvn doesnt understand what plagiarism is...
