Hi everyone, last night i was checking out my notifications on here and found a post from @cheetah where i was mentioned, now naturally after reading what cheetah was all about i became a little worried, as all of my posts are original and of my own content.
When i eventually found the mention from @cheetah from a post i made three months ago i was even more confused untill the picture became very clear that someone had just lifted my original article and posted it straight to their page.
Here is my original post that got knocked straight out of the ball park with its content, and was the first time i got a #curie award

When i checked out this page from the member called "cutelace" not only have they stolen my post it seems their whole page is lifted content! Not only fron myself but quite a few others, it looks like @cheetah is on the case with mentioning on their posts that they found simular content but it looks like many people are doing this very thing.
What can we do about this problem on steem??
One thing that can be done is to report anything you see like this to @steemcleaners and if you wish to report abuse yourself here is a link to the form to fill in

another thing we can do is go onto their page @cutelace and downvote, write your thoughts on this action or report their account, here is the link to the stolen post!!. Grrrrrr!!!
This post stealing has particularly hit a nerve with myself as we all put a lot of effert into producing original and entertaining/knowledgeable content for everyone to enjoy then to find out this!
Wishing you all a lovely day 😊
