Never thought of flagging this way before. I thought I would be violating freedom of speech. I never downvoted even spammy comments. So this is something for me to think about.
Good post.

Good post.
It is hard to do the first few times. I probably flag someone only once or twice a month. However there are obvious times to do it, and when it is needed.
Free speech is not what we're flagging. If isomeone has a difference of opinion that is NOT an allowable reason for a flag or downvote.
So don't worry.
It's for abuse of the system.
Let's give an example.
Let's say a rally was organized in your city. There was a stage and a microphone. Every member of the public got an opportunity to have 15 minutes to share their view of some topic in the microphone.
Right in the middle of someone talking, some drunk maniac runs up to the stage, pushes the person talking to the ground (hurting them in the process) and starts howling into the microphone for the next hour and yelling random junk and laughing about it, and screeching terribly. People walk away until he's the only one left.
Wouldn't that technically be violating freedom of speech too if people stopped that person?
Thanks for the response! Not many bother to answer in detail.
I guess it's also a temperamental thing for me, I find it hard to do! Even in your example I'd probably just leave and let someone else handle it! :P
But I get your point. I'll try! At the very least I'll have someone to tell when I notice something! ;)
Btw, I just remembered, I think it was you, in a recent belated introduce-yourself post, you recommended or mentioned The Knick, I said I'd watch it, I did! Good show! Wouldn't say it's an argument against medicine tho. It was the necessary step to get to where we are...and we're still not there.
Is @mahmoudh someone who should be nuked? See his spammy comments: Great post. Great post. Great post. Gif. Great post. ...
Yes. He's posting videos from this person:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-f5nPBEDyUBZz_jOPBwAfQ/videos
Named Brandon Kelly CryptoTrader on Youtube, who is NOT @mahmoudh
So he's stealing content, and reposting it as if he owns it.
He writes and speaks in Egyptian Arabic, english isn't his first language so rather than write posts, he'd rather just steal other content and upload cheap crap here himself.
Good detective work! .. So, do I report him to cheetah, or steemcleaners?
I would try @sherlockholmes first
Let him know that the vlogger he's stealing content from has 12,000 followers on youtube and that vlogger talks about cryptocurrency. This would be pretty upsetting for that guy to know @mahmoudh is stealing his videos.
