It really is painful to see that the first vote you got was from Hive account@spaminator. But I guess they're doing their job, the fight is against plagiarism and to set a very big example for other authors to see.

But, that was a mistake, it was done out of ignorance and now that you've realized your mistake you're doing every thing possible to remedy it. Not every gets that chance but I'm glad you were given this one opportunity.

I hope you get to be considered and forgiven. You're a great author Hive account@vikbuddy and a lot of us look up to you, so keep doing what you're doing, don't lose hope and you'll be celebrated more often than you can imagine
