I'm definitely looking into silver as soon as I get back on my feet. @neoxian has been putting that silverbug in my ear. LOL
As for the serial flaggers - best practice would be not to respond at all. 1. if their rep score is lower than yours it's not going to affect anything but your ego, to put it plainly. If you find that the person is a serial flagger (easy enough to find out using Steemd), then go directly to steemcleaners and they will look into it. @williambanks is a bloodhound with that stuff too! Phew! But bottom line, try to refrain with responses. It tends to feed the monster.
