Oh wow, really? That's pretty bad... Hopefully they have managed to iron out some of the problems! If that's still the case, that's quite a problem :/
So let me get this right, cheetah flagged you because of an affiliate link that was in your post? Or so you think? I never knew that about the bot.
Yeah, there's always room to improve and learn! And if it becomes better, it could be a truly helpful tool for Steemit!
Yeah the cheetah bot is cleverly named, as it goes after people who plagiarize, in other words, "cheaters". :)
Some of my first few posts were "getting my feet wet" and I reposted some news I think, and got to know cheetah's function.
And, I believe I mis-spoke above -- it was someone else, not cheetah, who flagged the affiliate link. Cheetah doesn't do that, I don't think anyway -- I think cheetah only makes a comment. Anyway, take care! :)
