Some people have been taking flagging too far some times with new people spam that because it works on other sites they think it will work here. Mainly because they have been misinformed from a newbie that doesn't know better yet. You know the comments from the newbies f4f, stuff we all get and then some. I am taking the approach to try to explain why they shouldn't do it. Especially if see they are posting good content other wise. Figure we want good content creators and don't want to chase them off. 

Flagging does have a good purpose when used properly. As Spiderman's Uncle told him in one of those Spiderman movies, with Great Power comes Great Responsibility and we all have to try to use the responsibility in the best way we see fit.
