RE: SAVE THE REWARDS POOL! Let's Talk About FLAGGING POSTS! You ALL Should Do It More Often. It Is Your Civic Duty.
THANK YOU for this post!
I flagged my first post the other day-- someone straight-up ripped off a news article and posted it verbatim here, AND spammed popular tags in the process.
I appreciate your perspective on the process-- I'm still learning the platform, so it helps to hear from someone with more experience like you!
Stuff like that sucks and ultimately takes away from everyone. I don't enjoy using the feature, but I also feel like it's my duty to use it responsibly, and also explain why I did it. People need to start setting examples. It's like a bunch of people going to a food bank and a few assholes come with bigger bags than the others, filling them to the brim. Should other people responsibly taking enough for themselves say something or should be lay down and just let it happen?
I personally would be saying fuck those guys and making them put some back.
Good job I like that there are some bots out there that scrape the web and call out people who repost others material.
