I've read through the comments on this both here and the one that @wil.metcalfe left on another post. Seems to me the major issue is that @purepinay, or anyone else, needs to own responsibility for anything that shows up on their account.

Hiring someone to create content is very debatable on a platform like this but to not 100% take responsibility to make sure it meets community standards is 100% wrong.

There's not really a way to know if any account has a ghostwriter (she called them editors). That's the nature of ghostwriting. The person who engages the outside help to get work done has to own the good, the bad and the ugly just the same as if she did the plagiarism herself.

Putting up that someone else did the deed is not an excuse or an out. Just for the record, anything appearing on my account has been created by me unless stated differently :).

I personally think from the standpoint of integrity, on a platform like Hive it should be upfront and stated when content has been prepared by someone else. What a person does on their own blogs is up to them but the norm on here is to expect the stated creator is the creator. It could be as simple as 'content was created under contract to the account holder'.
