Well, that's useless: the Newbie Flag doesn't show up in Bitcoin Discussion.
It's not completely useless because anyone can check his profile for more information, but I agree that Bitcoin Discussion (and few more boards) should have visible trust feedback for accounts.
I had no idea flags (and whatever else) weren't visible in Bitcoin Discussion, and that seems pretty ridiculous to me. Trust scores and all the data that's usually included in your avatar/profile space should be visible in
every section IMO. Regardless of whether there's trading going on in BD or any other section, it's nice to be able to see a member's stats--and I'm also pretty sure it wouldn't be a hard thing to get that done.
Anyhow, if this jackoff is a serial plagiarist, there's no need to worry about any flags, is there? I'm assuming there's an imminent ban coming and that said plagiarism has been reported (am I right, dkbit98?).
