Note, I am actually strongly in favor of news/link posts that spark discussion but with that comes the responsibility to not duplicate existing stories or it becomes spam. Likewise voters have a responsibility to not vote for these duplicates.

I didn't say you copied it, I said it was a duplicate post, by subject matter. Posts that are primarily links to topical stories lose most of their value as duplicates.

so, he is supposed to know what everyone else has posted? Jesus, this place is a mess.
No, and I wouldn't flag someone below zero. There is no harm or "punishment" to him (reduced rep or otherwise), it just reduces the rewards for the duplication.
As I said if people are going to post on external news/announcements/events/links, I'm all for it, but the premise of that in terms of value is that the information be fresh.
I've got nothing, I am speechless.
There must have been 20 people who posted about bitcoin price, fake news, etc. Interesting time to take a stand for "freshness". I don't know what has gone wrong here, but something is terribly wrong.
I didn't see it. I can't be everywhere, and I'm not out on patrol being a police officer. I just vote and comment on what I see.
Okay, that is great. Just occasional policing and only the important issues. That sounds reasonable. Thank you for clarifying.

Forgive me, the things I said were out of line and I apologize.
I was attempting to bring more value to a community that I am fond of and boost the reason why people would continue to be here.
Your freedom to flag my post is your freedom so whatever, if you choose to use your power to ruin other people's hard work then fine. I can't control that.
Your flag caused me to find more friends. By trying to help the community, I was attacked by people like you who have nothing better to do with their time and for that I am livid. Who are you to attack someone like me when there are so many other places you could focus your energy for good.
Do us all a favor and stop ruining the community.
The post I made was original, valuable, and I even resteemed the other post because I felt this topic was something to get behind hence the reason I made my post to begin with.
If you can't be everywhere, then fine I get that, go somewhere you are needed. It isn't here.
This reasoning takes away the reason why I am here, to tell a good story, support a good community and to benefit from the work that I have put into this.
My post took me over an hour to create, and make. It IS VERY OBVIOUS that the other person did not do that and simply threw something together to shove it out there.
Someone like you who can easily see this yet still chooses to abuse their power and take away the point in posting.... on a social media platform..... you honestly do not have any idea what you are doing with your power. You are literally destroying the community your power comes from....
