RE: Seven Tablets to Name Sky and Earth
makes sense, thanks for clarifying. I'd certainly advise you to post some new stuff if you can. That poem is excellent and I am sure with your talent you will get some real attention eventually with new material
<an embarrassing and emotional response i had to mark when he was only trying to make the community a better place that i am editing in embarrassment to not see in the future in hopes i learned a lesson / grateful for his patience - comment can be seen in edit history>
It doesn't, i genuinely think that this is a brilliant piece of work. I was looking at it from the point of view of a curator of original new content for steemit which is what I do. I was suggesting that new content will get more rewards than old content, that is all.
Apologies for the accusation of theft. It is rife on here and I will remove the link to steemcleaners etc. They have seen that this is original content, however so it wont affect you in any way.
I
i apologies at how quickly i got defensive there @markangeltrueman, and genuinely appreciate your words and the retraction.
definitely an emotional response at finding that someone had stolen my works without my knowledge, if i had taken a moment to breathe, it would have made sense to me that this is something that must be an omni-present problem here on steem and your efforts were just in trying to make the community a better place.
i appreciate it, Mark, and, though i'm not sure what a curator is necessarily (still quite new), i truly appreciate you helping to guard against theft like the blog did to me. thank you, mate.
i filled a copyright claim with wordpress and truly do appreciate you giving me the head's up or i may never have found it.
This ended well. :) Take a look at the user “curie” and see what we do. That would maybe give you more context around why I suggest new work over old work on here. Curation is the finding of posts on here and getting rewards for doing that. Curie incentivises the finders as well as rewarding creators of exceptional new work. With talent like this you will get a curie upvote soon for sure.
agreed, but more a statement to your patience than mine, haha. thank you, good sir.
i have a bit better understanding then, and i will certainly check 'curie's profile. would this then be a sort of curation of multiple pieces of similar art, such as an exhibit of sorts?
i have a few pieces i'm trying to tie up now, but i'm a notoriously slow editor on all my pieces. hoping to have one done before the end of the week and the rest see the light of steem in the near to near future.
thank you again, mark, i truly appreciate your time and helping make this process a quick resolve. you're the man, mate.
the word "curation" has a specific meaning on Steem, related to the "Curation rewards" that you can see in your rewards link on your profile. Curation rewards are based on upvotes you make on posts, and the short version is that if you are the first, or one of the first, upvotes on a good post that later on earns a decent payout after you upvoted it first, you get a bigger reward than if you came along and upvoted a post that had arleady made it big. A "curator" here is someone who looks for these awesome but currently undervalued posts, upvotes them, and tries to promote them through resteem or other methods to increase their own curation reward. There are also many curation organizations, @curie being one, that come along behind curators working for the organization with a big upvote. Just FYI, it is always best practice here on Steem to clearly identify when a work is a repost, with a link a to the original (so in this case, a link to your deviant post at the bottom of the post - and this would have prevented a lot of the above confusion :).
Much love - Carl (@curie curator)
