RE: A user called @rups copied my entire post from yesterday

in #steemit7 years ago

Thank you for posting dumar022.

So sorry that this has happened to you......thank you to @bullionstackers for the heads up.......

This very thing happened to @playfulfoodie and @elyaque. Check golos as that is where @elyaques work was copied.

Does it still need flagging?

Perhaps we can find some assistance from @sherlockholmes...who is quite busy these days locating scammers and such.

All the best to you and yours. Cheers.

Thanks for the comment @bleujay, I appreciate it as always.
There are different tools on Steemit, flag is one of them. I always avoided to use it but I had to find a way to repel spammers from my blog. I never flagged someone because of my personal opinion. That's not right way. Flags have to be used wherever you stumble on plagiarism. That should be an EDUCATIONAL FLAG and flagged users should not be offended on personal level. And they should learn from it. There is an old wise saying in my country: "The whip came from the Heaven". Not good to apply in outside world but flag mustn't be considered as something that users should avoid to use if they see plagiarism and inappropriate content. Flag doesn't stand there for nothing!
I appreciate work of @sherlockholmes but this one doesn't need locating! Thank you and cheers!
