RE: War on spam - I call the things as they are (about plagiarism and flagging)
Great post @inber
You are a great community member. Flagging should be done wisely and is needed. It is great we have people like you.
I recently made a post on the subject. Shameless plug.

I completely agree that it shouldn't be abused (as you said in your post).
But copy-pasting is an abusive behavior as well. And transition to individuals (not sure that I translated it right, I mean when instead of talking about the subject someone starts talking about a person) is abusing as well.
Yes you cant just go copy pasting giving no credit and offering absolutely no more to the information. What bothers me most is copy paste comments. Where you can see straight from their comment they didn't even read the post or look at the picture. Outright stolen stuff should be flagged straight away. Flagging is a great tool. I just don't want to see it go to peoples heads. At least you understand what steemit is about and are a good judge of that kind of thing.
Exactly
