Great post. One of the things I like about this post, is that it brings the community front and center. The community can work it out when people are being downvoted for ideas rather than plain plagiarism.

This is an important distinction to be made about the flag feature that I did not consider before. The term, "mutual aid society" comes to mind here. Rather than a central authority acting on a complaint, we have a group of people working to right a wrong.
