And since this is likely to get some downvotes, I will tl;dr:

It's VERY provable that an Etsy seller is stealing material and selling her own goods. Then taunting the original artist. When hundreds of complaints are made, Etsy ignores the userbase with a message telling them they're using the flagging system wrong.

Nothing happens to the thief.

So, ${SocialSite} is ignoring the user base reporting a user abusing another (The original seller ALSO sells on Etsy), because their FORMS are wrong.

I'm pretty new around here: why is your post likely to get downvotes?

It would be easy to say that this is "Not of interest to hackers". I found it an interesting example of what NOT to do with your userbase.
