@atreyuserver The fact is that he planted this image in tens of blogs without any comment on the content the blogs.  It looks like he came and sprayed graffiti everywhere.  

Don’t get hung up on what the picture was.  It’s spam, like much of the email you get.  There is nothing relevant to any reader.

He has since removed all those offending posts so you can’t see them anymore.

It’s very disrespectful to the creator of the blog and to the other commentors who put a lot of effort into what they wrote.

If he would have replied “very sorry, I am new here, but now I have read the steemit guide to etiquette” I woud Have achieved something.

It’s like if a child kicks a ball through your window.  You don’t give it back until he apologies.

Prior to spamming this, and many other blogs with this pointless photo, he had been warned TWICE by @spaminator that he would be flagged if he continued spamming like that.  He chose to ignore those warnings.  It’s like a child being told “Don’t throw stones in glass houses”, and he continues doing it.

Lastly, I did not give him a  flag, - which he deserved.  I did just a warning because he is from Venezuela, which is a very poor country.  I don’t want to take away his chance of making money on steemit.

 He deserved 100% flag, so the warning was just a shot across the bows to get his attention.  

The guidance I gave him contains advice on how to avoid being flagged (similar to the two warnings he got from @spaminator), as well as guidance on how to make money from steemit in future.

 I see his reply to that has been to slap me in the face by flagging me back at 100%.  I don’t usually bother with flag wars since there are no winners, and he should learn that too.

 I imagine he was very rude to his parents, showing no respect to them.

As you can see, I did a lot of homework, on this guy’s behaviour before deciding if he deserved a small flag, or just a warning.   I also took the time to explain what he is doing wrong, and give him guidance on where to look to improve.

I would say the respect he got from me was appropriate.  His behaviour was not.

@atreyuserver When you see flags or warnings you may often be right.  It was maybe a knee jerk reaction from someone who is unthinking.  In other cases the warner may have spent alot of time, like I did, investigating to decide if a flag was justified.   I will be interested to hear if you still see it his way, or whether you now see my point of view.
