Flaggots are the absolute scum of the internetz. Closely related to the basement-dwelling fucktard, they are the lowest form of shit on the face of this planet; the voracious, AIDS-infected tumor that is slowly destroying Deviant Art. And, like all species of cancer, they are vile, malignant, and practically impossible to remove.
So, what is a flaggot? Well, here are a few definitions from various online sources:
1. Person who flags postings as inappropriate on various online forums, despite the fact that said postings do not violate the forum's terms of use; person who would rather censor an opposing viewpoint than have to present his/her own case convincingly.
2. Those who flag because they can't stand honest competition.Those who deem it their divine right to protect the world from anything but their point of view.
While such descriptions are sufficiently adequate, they do not convey the utterly contemptible nature of the homegrown DA flaggot. Simply stated, such individuals are the writhing, maggot-infested sewage at the bottom of the internet cesspool. They are worse than the EDfag, the Skiddie and the Trollfag put together.
How do these shitholes operate on DeviantART? Well, here's a basic outline:
It starts out when some reeking asshole gets pwnt in a trivial argument on the Complaints forum. Being too much of a butthurt crybaby to admit their obvious defeat, they create a small army of sock-puppets to take revenge on their opponent. They then start hanging around their victim's gallery, flagging literally everything as inappropriate, regardless of whether or not the artwork violates DA policy. As the false complaints pile up, the sysops figure "better safe than sorry" and delete the artwork anyway.
This kind of shit is rampant all over DeviantART: innocent people have actually been banned over spurious, unproven reports ranging from art theft to so-called prohibited content. Spreading lies and rumors in this fashion amounts to nothing more than covert harrassment: the admin should deal with such vendettas without hesitation or remorse. TLDR? Anyone who maliciously goes hunting for images to report should be banned until the end of time.
What’s that? Don't Like what you see? Then STFU and GTFO!! There: problem solved for everyone, you lying little shit!!!

It's anyone who likes to abuse power on the internet: flagging things, leaving bad feedback, mod abuse, sending bogus DMCAs, and on one website they even allow outright robbery.

It's eBay/PayPal. Robbery is defined as taking my by force or threat or force, and buyers can use both these to get money and not have to return things or return an empty box to a different address in the same zip code and sellers can't even put a note on the buyer's feedback of this like they can to sellers because eBay has a policy of removing any complaints from sellers about buyers on a buyer's feedback. Plenty of stuff on the internet--you don't have to take my word. See YouTube stuff.
