Lately, we are getting a lot of new members here on STEEM, and, as it is a decentralized social network, and there are no HOWTO lessons, RULES that are pinned on the top, etc, we have sometimes "misunderstanding" about the things in here. I would like to write this time about content creation and just a few mine "do-s" and "dont-s".
Firstly, I got the idea of this post from our SteemSavvy discord group because we have seen this night two posts on CTPTalk that had copy/pasted articles. If you are the creator of the original article, or if you have permission to copy the article from the owner, it is OK to post it to STEEM. But, in both cases, you should put SOURCE link to the original article.

Secondly, on STEEM, we have so-called bot @cheetah who runs through all the new content in here and if he finds similar content on the web, it automatically writes a comment with a link to the ORIGINAL content. Later, some people follow the path of the bot and manually downvote such content because of plagiarism and possible copyright infringement issues.
If you have Wordpress blog and would like to publish your posts directly to the STEEM, I would suggest you use WP plugin called SteemPress. It will prevent the detection of your content as plagiarism.
The same thing is with images. If you are not the creator of the image, always check if you can freely use the image on your blog... And also, put the source under the image in both cases.
I would strongly suggest to everyone new on STEEM to check a great learning website SteemSavvy.com where you can learn more about this awesome blockchain and how it works in general.
