As usual, I will begin this manuscript by extending a warm greeting to all the users of @Project.HOPE, especially to its founders; @crypto.piotr, @juanmolina, @achim03, @fucho80, @josevas217, @lanzjoseg, @thetimetravelerz, who every day do a hard work to develop and consolidate a reference community within the platform, mainly in the areas of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, even though, content on science, blockchain, economics, business, marketing, social media, and psychology is also valued.

In recent months, we have witnessed firsthand the incredible growth that @Project.HOPE has been experiencing, thanks firstly, to each of the users who upload content for the label, who in each of their manuscripts seal their commitment to the community and the rest of the users, and secondly, to the strategies promoted by the core team in the quest to increase the Hive Power of the main account, and thus consolidate our own economic independence in the future.

As you may know, in previous times the community was unfairly singled out for problems related to plagiarism and other types of abuses committed by a small group of dishonest users, a phase that in the current context has been largely overcome, however, there will always be hostilities that will seek to destroy the positive image that @Project.HOPE has earned, hence the need to take actions to consolidate our identity as a community that socializes content of proven quality.

Consequently, and based on the positive image that our community has, since last January our friend @crypto.piotr, decided to develop an initiative, which aims to verify that all users of our community are using the Anti-plagiarism Banner, based on the fact that the image has definitely become our seal, and insignia of fight against plagiarism.

I have been supporting this initiative, mainly because I know the enormous potential that our users have as bloggers of technical and academic content, also because I believe that the collective success of @Project.HOPE will mean the individual consolidation of each of us on the platform, hence the reason why in the first two weeks of 2021, we have asked for your support to continue using the banner as you have done so far, and help us to encourage other users to use the image.

In this regard, I must state that out of the base of users contacted, 89 to be exact, only 24 users were using the Anti-plagiarism Banner, which represents 26.9%, a very low figure if we consider that during the month of January 72 users (80.8%) were active and regularly sharing publications for the tag.

It is noteworthy that currently a significant number of users are using the Anti-plagiarism Banner, at the end of February we will be presenting the updated figures, in this sense, on behalf of the core team of @Project.HOPE we want to thank you for supporting this and each of the initiatives that drives the community.
