RE: The actions of @anyx (author of @cheetah bot) will give Steemit a Google penalty and here is why!

in #steemit • 8 years ago

We already have a HTML tag posted here: http://sciencenewsjournal.com/anyx-cheetah.html

But the problem is that @cheetah comments under each post that we make and then people actually flag our posts for content theft. Here is an example:

    I think you need some kind of verification for people who are flagging you as I suggested. Put it at the bottom of every post people don't have time to go through your past posts to find it.

      Thanks we will add it at the end, but the problem is that most people just see the comment and make assumptions. If the content is ours, why should a bot flag us in the first place?

        You are lucky it is the bot and not a whale. Of all the bots I think cheetah fulfils a useful purpose. Most people would not have time to check for plagiarism.

        If you have proper verification or respond adequately to the bot you will rarely if ever get flagged. If you do you can always contact the flagger and explain the situation.

        If that doesn't help or you feel the flag is malicious you can remedy it in the chat.
