So I was blacklisted today by 
I recently got permanently blacklisted for this post.
I accept that it was a plagiarised post. And this is because it was an error on my part.
So I'm giving a back story of what happened and caused this.
I am friends with Olunlade Ebenezer and we are on an encrypted closed platform. We learn from each other and during a recent conversation, where we spoke on the effects of drinking. He wrote that particular post as what he has seen from years of experience as a Doctor about drinking.
I then asked him for his permission to repost it on a platform where I believe people could learn.
Little did I know, it was a post he had written previously on the Facebook platform here.
So it really came as a shock to me that I am accused of intellectual theft
Although I accept the fact that I had committed three offenses previously but that was really when I didn't know much about the Hive platform and felt I could just bring anything from anywhere and post on the Hive Blog.
Already, I know better and PLAGIARISM is something I wouldn't willfully do after the first three warnings, which were when I just joined the platform.
I'm very disappointed in myself as I really hoped to build for myself a wonderful reputation when I started A 30Day Blogging Challenge where I had laid out plans to be more consistent with my blogging on Hive.
I don't know how a permanent blacklist works but I'm appealing that I am given a chance to clear the false representation of me presently.
To everyone that feels disappointed about my actions, this wasn't intended at all. I wasn't in any way looking to cut through the corners. And I wasn't interested in bringing disrepute to the Hive platform.
I believe so much in the Hive project and would really love to be a part of it for a long time.
I, therefore, tender this appeal with an apology, for my misconduct and gross disobedience and would be extremely grateful if my account is removed from the permanent blacklist.
I don't know what the blacklist means but I believe it's not something good. In any case, it's very bad for my reputation.
Such would never happen again. And if any case occurs again, I'll be the one to delete my account myself if possible. But I promise that such won't happen again.
However, if the blacklist doesn't affect my ability to post, I'd continue my blogging here on Hive.
