There is absolutely no call to be disrespectful. Ever. I'm kind of green, so I am curious. Under what circumstances should we flag? I'm assuming bad behavior? And plagiarism?

If you are positive it's plagiarism, yes. I've never had the need to, but this repulsive guy attacked single mothers with some very vile language. Totally out of the blue. I didn't hesitate to flag him
Good. And do you know what occurs when you flag someone? I assume they get reviewed and/or monitored and if it's a chronic issue they get the boot.
You know how you start with 25 rep points? The guy in question had 20. So obviously I am not the only one he offended. A flag is like a reverse upvote. So after I flagged him his rep went down to 19.
If you get flagged by a whale your rep is destroyed! lol
There are some citizens working diligently on that end here.
This is very heartening. There's real incentive on Steemit to be at least cordial, at a minimum, and to contribute positively to the community. And it's good to know that really bad behavior costs people.
