I think I am done posting on Steemit. I used > to signify the quote and then even mentioned the author and put it in italics.

Cheetah is a bot, and you should not take its posts personally. It isn't smart enough to know if you're claiming this as original content, and did not accuse you of plagiarism. It's only purpose is making it easier for human readers to notice duplicated content and evaluate whether it's deceptive or not.

Thank you very much for your kind comment. I was under the impression that the upvotes from the cheetah bot were an negative thing. I recently found this post https://steemit.com/steemit/@anyx/cheetah-bot-the-fight-against-spam-and-plagiarism-continues
Again, you are kind to respond to my concerns.

Troglodactyl is completely correct. Cheetah has much evolved since that post 10 months ago.

Thank you so much for your comment. I try to be honest and taking credit for someone else's work is not something I would do. I have a better understanding now.

No problem. If you clearly cite the source, no one in their right mind reading your post should fault you for it!

I hope others have a better understanding because of my learning experience. Thanks again.

I hope not! Thank you for posting this, I've upvoted and resteemed. I desperately hope that the tides will shift away from calling parents crazy for wanting appropriate research in this area. It has been a monstrous testament to the success of social programming thus far. But the war on critical thinking and objective reason seems stronger than ever... Keep fighting the good fight. One day the truth might just set us all free from our mental cages <3

I am tired of the @cheetah inferring I am plagiarizing I used this site for my image
http://healthimpactnews.com/2017/vaccinated-vs-unvaccinated-guess-who-is-sicker/
And @cheetah referred to this site for the same image http://yournewswire.com/study-unvaccinated-healthier-vaccinated/
I formatted the quote in my post and gave the author of the quote credit.
Because @cheetah upvotes me I do not get views and I feel I am wasting my time.

I agree we MUST speak out about vaccines and the damage they cause.

Oh, no doubt. Who's to say the cheetah bot isn't running an algorithm to target the type of information you like to put out? Steemit was set up using Google as its search platform and they're some of the worst perpetrators of censorship in that regard. It's already not even worth using Twitter, Facebook, or JewTube anymore for the same reason. Too bad Steemit is just more of the same.

The ignorant are officially protected from uncomfortable truths.

...Hurray.

I am inclined to agree with you as I did not plagiarize any content.

FYI -- Cheetah comments are agnostic of content. It only searches for commonality of text. And even if I wanted to, it's an incredibly hard programming problem to digest knowledge about what a body of text is talking about. There's decades of literature on machine learning trying to solve this problem, and we still are not even good at it. I don't know how to do it either.

That is really strange.
I'll try to figure out what triggered Cheetah later when I'm back home.
Please don't worry too much about it. You might lose out on a few votes right now, but you've still got me and I know that you don't plagiarize.
You are not being flagged at this point, and that would be much worse.

Thanks, I am kind of in agreement with @dodecahydra on whether the @cheetah is a method of censorship on Steemit.

You cannot be censored on this platform. Everything is still visible by anyone and permanently stored on the blockchain.

That is so good to know because there is so much censorship going on in other areas on the internet. It is out of control. I really appreciate your comments and explanation.

No worries, that is an automated thing and is not saying you are plagiarizing - as far as i understand this bot.
